Pretty good idea. I use the standard rear bumper with a piece of plastic rain gutter shoved in, and then I run the hose into it. The two end pieces are stowed somewhere else.
Nice job man. Guess what..... I just did the same thing yesterday with the springs and I thought I was a genius. I was reminding my girlfriend all day. Well.... you beat me by a year. Well done.
Great idea! I was going to drill into back bumper. I now think I might use your bracket concept. Can you give me the type and size of your nuts, bolts, washers (stainless steel?) and your brackets? Could have used a flat bracket instead of a 90 degree? Would it be a good idea to add some space between bumper and vinyl sleeve to prevent rusting? Apologize for so many questions - I am excited about your idea.
Hey sorry for the late reply on this! Unfortunately I don't recall the type of bolts. I purchased everything from Lowes after taking some measurements. The nuts are nylon locking nuts, those are key. The flat bracket could have worked, but the angle helps to give it some strength, the aluminum is pretty light overall. I wouldn't worry about spacing between the bumper and vinyl.
Very good job/ideal. I watch many videos looking for sewer hoses ideas but yours was the best for me. I like it being in the back instead of underneath like most others. If something was to ever come loose while in transit I didn’t want to risk it coming in contact with my rear tires 🛞 that can cause a possible blow out? Don’t have to worry about that if it’s mounted on the rear bumper. Thanks for the suggestion.
As bmbubba84 mentioned; the use of the gutter is an excellent piece for ramping your hose to its discharge point. I’ve been doing this for years. Nice video explanation
Awesome idea, I have the fence post and the locking end already setup but I was planning on installing it under the frame, I like your idea of mounting to the rear bumper better. But please take the sharp corners off your brackets. I may also use some 3m exterior tape between the bumper and the post mounting.
