2017 Creekside 20FQ - What sewage hose storage solution?
I ended up getting the sewage hose kit at the recommendation of my Outdoor RV dealer.
Valterra D04-0275 20 Feet Dominator Sewer Hose Kit
What is the best way to store it in my 20FQ? Storage tub? Storage tube? Inside the storage bay or mounted under the frame?

The rear bumper is hollow and the rubber ends come out, this has been the traditional sewer hose storage area on RVs for quite some time now. BTW the rubber ends are vented.

I read a post on another forum that the Valterra Dominator Sewer Hose ends are too big to fit. Is that true?

Regarding the rubber end caps, our Wind River has a thicker rear bumper that
the typical rubber end won't fit. Ours didn't come with them so I purchased replacements from Amazon and they're too small. I'd love to store our hoses there so wondering if there are other sizes available. Anyway, I don't worry about the bumper coming off with our bikes attached!
Thanks

I built my Rhinoflex holder out of a PVC fence post. Home Depot sold me an extra end cap (drilled holes in both caps to keep out the bugs yet allows great air flow). Used UV resistant zip ties to hold the fence post to the top of the bumper and a cotter key to hold the end caps on. My Rhinoflex came with caps so everything stays high and dry. I had some extra room in my PVC post so I made a container from a plastic eavestrough section (about 8" long) and two end caps. In there I store my rubber gloves, a small container of dish soap and an old hand towel. Once everything is dumped I then can wash my gloves and hands before hopping into the cab of the truck.

Our WR bumper holds about 30ft of 15mil "conventional" sewer hoses. I did have to file off some of the excess plastic on the end fittings to make them fit easily. (Our WR came with bumper end caps.) I drilled a vertical hole through both bumper ends and the caps and put a long 1/4" bolt through them to be sure the hoses did make an unwanted escape. Absent end caps, I would think about making ones out of 1-2" thick lumber.

I ended up buying a "Valterra A04-0153XBK Black 64" EZ Hose Carrier"
I'm not sure yet where to mount and drill this yet. It seems that the entire undercarriage and frame is sealed off by that corrugated plastic sheet with 'Rivets" so If I pop off those rivets I have to re-revit it?
