ATF: Big Country - Sewer Hose Storage

[theramblinrv]

We have a 2015 Big Country 3596RE and there is no storage tube for the sewer hose. I can't believe the factory did not include it. There is a compartment to store the fittings, but not the hose. That said has anyone had to add storage and if so, where did you mount the storage tube. It looks like there may be room in front of the rear jacks. Any other ideas?

Some people keep them in a tote in the basement. Others buy the round tubes that CW has. I made my own from fence tubing and 2 end caps and mounted with aluminum straps.

My 2012 has sewer storage compartment just above the sewer outlet. I'm surprised the quit providing that. It wouldn't be too hard to make one yourself. It was behind the J wrap. All you would need is a door and enclose the area behind the J wrap to contain the hose.

Thank you, I will mount tubes to store as I don't want to keep in tubs. This is our 8th RV and have never had one that did not come with storage. Still love the Big Country!

One thing could be the "drop frame". Makes the front low to the ground.

These are the ones you can buy from Heartland customer service with a ten percent discount for HOC members.

MY 2009 BH3670 also has a storage compartment. I get two lengths of compressed RhinoFlex hose in there. The twist-on valve, clear adapter and some other adapters I use get thoroughly rinsed and put in a small tote in the basement. At home, they get a real bath before going into storage.

My 2015 big country came with hose storage tube mounted to frame set back a bit from front jacks.

My 2015 has a small 4" tube behind the front jacks. It is too small or the fittings so I purchased a piece of 6" PVC and mounted it to the frame just behind the small sewer tube. I can leave the fittings on when I store the hose.

Does anyone know if the 2016 BH3270RS comes with a storage for the sewer hose? If not, I need to order one so I don't have to carry it in the storage bay. Thanks in advance

One good thing to say about having the rear bumper . . .

I store the sewer hose in there.

My 2014 came with one and I ordered and installed the second one.

I also mounted 2, 1 for the main hose and 1 for the 15' extension hose. Then I made a cover for the camp side.
