The storage worked well for a year but I came up with a better storage solution. Now I don't even need to unhook the hose, has been so much better and easier to use - www.loveyourrv.com/ultimate-rv-sewer-system-modification/
Thanks. I have since changed the way I carry the hose, mounted a storage box under the trailer now - www.loveyourrv.com/ultimate-rv-sewer-system-modification/ Works great as I don't have to disconnect it anymore, so makes dumping very quick and efficient :) www.loveyourrv.com/quick-rv-waste-tank-dump/ Cheers, Ray
Hi Ray, I continue to be impressed with your ingenuity. The question is, when we finally get an RV, we will I remember your ingenuity! :) Thanks for sharing! Dean
Great tip Ray. I may try that on our new Micro-Lite. I have some stainless steel city sign straps and the installation tool and will likely substitute that for the hose clamps. Thanks , Mike
So far it's worked great. I did add a steel spring in place of the rubber elastics, they will degrade over time with sun exposure a reader pointed out. Should be much better with those stainless straps!
Nice job Ray, I think I'd add a wire tether to the stretchy cord you have on the biner clip. UV will eventually rot out the stretch cord and your $$$ hose will go bye bye some where out in the middle of no where. The PVC pipe carriers work well. I'd like to find some 8-12 inch pipe, but have struck out. 6 inch is the largest I've found at the Hardware outlets. Plumbers strap works great to attach pipe like that. Your doubled up hose clamps look like they will last a long time. Great job.
hello! Thanks for the helpful tips and your time that goes into making and sharing these videos. My family and I are new to the scene and am learning as we go. Your videos are very insightful. Subbed to your channel and looking forward to learning more. Thx bud! -Travis from Illinois
Thanks, it worked well for a snowbird season and the next summer I improved things and modded a storage box under the rig so I never need to disconnect the hose. - www.loveyourrv.com/ultimate-rv-sewer-system-modification/ Cheers! Ray
It must be nice some folks are perfect spellers, lol... Love how you designed the hose carrier! Good video as always! I like the hose design, but still a bit pricy. In Washington we don’t yet have the regulations like some States or Countries, so I will stick with the old system for the time being. I ran in to a problem last time I dumped, there system plugged up. I had to move to the main system, and I didn’t have an extension for my hose, so I had to barrow one they had. I connected both and theirs had several holes in the hose, I got hit with waste water, thank god it was the gray water at that point. Thanks!
Hi Ray...love your videos. I've learned a bunch from you. I have a Keystone Cougar travel trailer. Can you post a video of the pull out bumper? I'm looking for a solution to carry bikes. Thanks Matt
No leaks so far. Have been using the same Waste Master hose as a full time RVer since June 2015. Here is some recent footage using it to dump my new sewer tote ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--HVQmDxcdo8.html Cheers, Ray
Some folks will steal anything. I came out of Wal Mart and low and behold there's some punk trying to steal my receiver hitch off my truck. Its good that I had a REESE LOCK on the receiver. When I hollered at the guy the Dip S#$% ran straight to his truck to late though wife filmed it and his getaway truck with tag. LOL. Don't know what happened in the end we gave the police the info and She the police watched the video and got make model and tag number from us. Hope they caught the BUM.
i would paint the end black so some thing dos not see it or take it if you go to any place that seals kayaks they have some straps that can be installed to help hold it in and look stock like its made to be there
Love Your RV Instead of using the radiator clamps to secure your pipe to the bumper, I would use stainless steel banding with the locking buckles. The bands are about same size but the buckles fold the banding upon itself to lock it place. There is a special tool that is used to tighten the band and start the initial bend into the buckle and cutting the banding to length, but using vicegrips and tinsnips will do the job. The screw clamps do have the history of breaking and/or tearing the threading of the strap.
Bri Du Thanks, stainless is a good idea. Will have to check the local marine parts stores, lots of salt water here. I bet they have stuff like that for lashing things down on the boats.
Love Your RV McMaster-Carr cata;og number 5358K12 for 1/2 inch banding - 25 feet 304 stainless, 4582K25 for 1/2 inch clip style buckles. Quantities may be more than you want, but this banding is very useful in other applications.
Thanks, good idea. It worked well for a year but I came up with a better storage solution. Now I don't even need to unhook the hose, has been so much better and easier to use - www.loveyourrv.com/ultimate-rv-sewer-system-modification/ Cheers! Ray
Inside the rear bumper. The storage worked well for a year but I came up with a better storage solution. Now I don't even need to unhook the hose, has been so much better and easier to use - www.loveyourrv.com/ultimate-rv-sewer-system-modification/ Cheers, Ray
There are little plastic ones but since the inside is so smooth you don't get any debris stuck in it. I've since changed the storage design so now I never have to disconnect - www.loveyourrv.com/ultimate-rv-sewer-system-modification/
oh yeah I have seen that video but unfortunately the box will not fit under my fifth wheel. I was just debating on the Rhinoflex or the Waste Master. How has the Waste Master held up now that you've had it for a year or more?
Could do, the frame is a pullout bike rack, too, though. I end up changing things and created a different storage solution where I don't need to disconnect the hose, just pull it out and use it and put it back, works great! www.loveyourrv.com/ultimate-rv-sewer-system-modification/ Cheers! Ray
