John. That is a great mod as I would love to do the same thing. What else did you use besides the 5” fence post

I used the post,end cap,the original access door assembly and made an adapter plate out of a dollar store plastic cutting board. I needed the adapter plate because I had to enlarge the opening in the plastic facing covering the propane bay to get the post cover to slide in. I also made two frames in the shape of an "H" to support the tube and attached them to the existing steel cross bracing under the coach. The frames we're made from scrap aluminum fence pieces I had laying around. Attachment 245408

Thanks John

This is a great mod and now on my list

Nice job John. Think I will copy your mod. The existing one has never made any sense to me. This would free-up the space I keep a container holding the hoses in the AH/Electric wheel space so I can store some other "stuff".

Thanks!...I don't have time to modify the space further at the moment but I have a design roll'in around in my head for a cubby for additional sewer stuff built into that area as well...plenty of room,just don't want to overload the bay weight wise.

Pool noodles work well and are cheap and they can be cut to fit most anything.

sewer hose storage tube up front with the propane tank. This tube is less than 2 foot long and at 4 " around it won't accept a standard hose with fittings. So I've removed the original, modified the door assembly to accept a 5" fence post cover and installed it in the same area as the original. Now it's 5' 6" long and easily holds 20' of hose with fittings attached....and there is room in that space for 2 more tubes should I ever need to add.

First pic is original tube

Second is modified and created parts

Third is space to work with

Fourth is installedAttachment 245393Attachment 245394Attachment 245395Attachment 245396

John, I have a 2017 Aspire 44B without the propane. Does your sewer slot sit above the hydraulics unit for the jacks? I think my gas tank is in the way. I had a thread going on Facebook group Friends of Entegra as I wanted to do the same thing. Just had not found a place to run a 6-7 foot piece of fence post. I will have to look at mine again once it gets out of the shop.

On my model the fuel tank ends with approximately 1 1/2 ft of air space before the wall of the first storage bay on the driver's side. My tube rests in this void. I don't know what space is available on a non propane 44b but mine has a plastic fascia across the face of the propane tank area just behind the drivers side front wheel which made it easy for me to scope out the area. My available length for a straight tube was 5' 6" it's enough for my 20' hose with fitting attached to happily live there....to get a longer tube in (8') you'd have to put a bend in the tube and head forward along side the fuel tank toward the jack... certainly doable,just not needed at the moment.

So your sewer storage must have been at the rear of the propane tank. Since the removal of the propane tank, that area is now a storage bay and they moved the sewer storage tube to the front so my gas tank is directly behind it. Oh well, will keep looking for somewhere to mount a tube to get it out of the storage bay.

Our 2015 Aspire 39e side radiator fin edges had some chips in the paint from road debris. I wanted to improve the appearance so I went to Autozone and purchased some edge trim for $12 each. The install was super simple and took two packages of edge trim. The trim does have some adhesive in it to hold it in place. I am very happy with the results.

2Nailz,

Nice touch, a good way to cover the chips yet subtle enough to make people ask... "where did you get the radiator grille cover at?"

[philnail]

Looks great
