I'm trying to find a portable screen to block my sewer hose from my neighbor's view. Something 1' - 2' tall and maybe 15' long. A lot of folks in my RV park have custom fitted fabric snapped along the lower edge of their RV that drops to the ground. I don't want to go that far but I'd like to be a good neighbor and at least cover up the sewer/water/cable TV hoses/wires that run along the street side of my RV to make it a bit more tidy.

Does anybody use something like this and if so, where did you get it?

Thanks!

This would be a good time of year to buy discounted plastic Christmas garland. Perhaps plastic ropes of evergreen, holly, even poinsettia are probably on sale. You might buy enough to cover up the unsightly utility pedestal to make it appear like a bush.

Is this really an issue in your RV park? What about your unsightly mirrors, wheels, and wipers? Perhaps garland vines could be used to cover them too.

If they really bother you, why not only deploy them after dark and coil them up at dawn?

Covering the hoses and pipes isn't something I care that my neighbors do - I'm considering doing it for them because a lot of folks in my RV Park do this. Again, I'm trying to be a good neighbor. It's a very nice RV park and folks really do work hard to keep everything clean and tidy. Our neighbors bought a 4' tall fake ivy covered thingy to block the view of their water softener and pedestal. They also cover their sewer hose with what looks like landscape fabric.

How about "silt fence"?

BTW are you going to cover up the sewer/water/cable TV hoses/wires coming from the RV parked on your curb side too?

I'm not sure how I'd anchor the silt fence so it stood up. The pad is concrete.

I'm not trying to block the view of anything on my neighbor's lots. They don't bother me at all.

Home Depot sells garden mesh in tan and black. It's a nice looking, tight weaved mesh, and comes in rolls of 18" x 20'. Yo could buy this mesh and use clamps or even close pins to clip it under the edge of your RV.

Lots and lots of stuffed animals?

I wonder how many neighbors have given any thought about seeing these necessary accessories being exposed, I know I never have as long as they are not leaking.

You could get one of these for the end. It would draw their eye away from the hose.

LOL

The elusive 'Long Tailed Pig' !

My first thought was the Sewie Pig.

How about ONLY having sewer hose out and exposed WHEN you dump ....then put it away until next time.

Sewer hose only seen for the time needed to dump then not seen again until next time.

I never leave my hose out and connected unless dumping tanks

Best idea yet. Why leave the hose out to sit in the sun and weather when you only need to use it once in a while?

The original poster asked a reasonable question, but I have never seen the sort of utilities concealment that he described. The RV park sounds like it caters to long term residents, or maybe seasonal snowbirds? (My list of esthetic and/or operational concerns in RV parks is more basic, and I'm sure others have a list too, but we should stay on topic and not highjack this thread).
