    What a great location, albeit more work is required to configure.  Does this location impede the venting of any propane fumes that may accumulate at the bottom of the tub?

    Hi Dale,
    What is the brand of your sewer hose storage unit? When you mentioned that is it is affixed to the T@B with 4 bolts and fender washers, did that involve drilling? Can you please elaborate on how it’s attached?

    Thanks so much! I really like your custom upgrades!

    The tube is drain pipe from Home Depot. Bolted through the rear pan. Four 1/4” bolts with fender washers. Inside the tub is a 6’ x1” piece of aluminum for extra support. Also from HD .

    Just mounted my hose storage on our new Outback.  I like this because it was really easy and did not require any permanent modification.  
    I like your idea - I too am in the same situation with my Boondock. - So you just used the straps (2) to tie onto the rack? - and as you posted in 2017 - how is it holding up? did it slip at all (with only two straps)? Also guessing this is a 64 inch tube? - although on second look it looks shorter than a 64 inch tube.

    Ah - been looking online and Valterra has an adjustable hose 34/60. I think I might go with that one as the 64 inch may be too long to hold with the straps in the centre area of the Yakima. I do like this set up for the Boondock and think its a great alternative to the front tongue. Also the 15 ft Rhinoflex looks like it will fit, as someone says it collapses to 56 inches. Thanks for sharing the photo's - shows newbie me how its set up.

    So - I decided to go white, and have three straps. If one strap fails, the other two would be able to keep it on. Also - as I purchased the adjustable carrier, but want it kept at 60 inches, I glued it at the joint to stop any movement. No holes drilled in the T@B - I'm against doing that.

    @SueB, white was a good choice.  Camouflaged against the white TaB.
