Stinky Slinky storage area on a 2021 gone

So I am curious since the sewer hose storage area is no longer on the 2021 Tab 400 where is one supposed to stow this lovely device away at?   Might have to try using the Poop Chute bags to keep it cleaner.  I needed a laugh on a Monday morning.

    I can't say for sure not having looked under one yet, but I'll bet there's a way to DIY one underneath with some PVC. 

    We use the one in our 2019 400 but it's just a couple of inches too short to hold both sections of the Rhino hose and just a little too small in diameter to accommodate the elbow, so you still need some kind of additional storage for the whole system. 

    I'm glad to have it mind you, but the tube does infringe a good bit into the exterior storage space.

    All hail, Cousin Eddie!

    Welcome to the world of the 320, which has never had built in storage for that hose. Searching this forum will give you at least a dozen ideas, some of them pretty ingenious. 

    I went the simple route. Since I have the Boondock platform, I just coil mine into one of the ActionPacker tubs I bolted to the platform. Using Happy Campers toilet chemical—which is nothing short of a miracle—everything breaks down fast, and I’m not kidding, there is ZERO smell. (And no nasty chemical fragrance). 

    While permanent storage would be nice to have, in my book, it’s a total non issue to be without it, enough so that even those ingenious mods aren’t on my priority list as I prep the trailer for this camping season. Maybe next fall.

    NuCamp wants you just to roll it up and lay it on the bed when not using!
    Glad I have a 2018 model with the storage tube.:)

    @jameskuzman the stock 400 tube will accommodate a RinoFlex 15' hose and all bits and pieces it comes with, have one in my 2019 400 storage tube currently.

    Is this in the Solo edition? I think that space is no longer available since it ran in a tube under the bed.

    You can also get a 64” long sewer tube (Amazon, Camping World for instance), use long muffler or plumbing clamps and clamp it to your tongue. 20’ of sewer hose plus the tapered plug will fit in the 64” one. These are photos of the tube on my former T@B 320.

    @Redfish24, that is actually pretty darned funny. Well done.... a bit of Christmas cheer as it were.

    As @Verna did, we got our sewer hose storage tube from Camping World. It works well, and is lightweight compared to PVC. We needed to trim the ears off the fitting to get the hose to slide in, but that was no big deal.

    I ran the screws for the mounting tabs right through the floor, and backed up the nuts with large washers to give some support. The hose isn't very heavy, so it's been fine for a number of years.

    It's tucked up under the back, the spare tire is no longer stored there, and it's actually pretty inconspicuous. My DW hasn't even complained about its looks!

    How long of a sewer hose can you fit in the 8 gallon action packer? Also how many bolts did you mount yours with and do you happen to have a picture of it mounted.  I'm considering mounting one or two when I get my trailer.

    I have a 15’ in there now. No pics, it’s just a couple of holes drilled in the bottom of each Action Packer, spaced to match the holes on the platform. Bolts inserted from below, with large rubber and metal fender washers to protect aluminum of the platform and spread the load, and wing nuts inside the bins.
