Temporary Storage for sewer hose in OUtback

I have searched and seen some great mods for sewer hose storage.  But what are some options before I can get those completed?  Is there some type of waterproof bag I can use?  I do have the optional storage compartment on the passenger side i can also use.  Just picked up the trailer on Saturday so would welcome any initial ideas.  I have seen the options of the two DeWalt units on t front, the sewer hose holder mounted to the back on the Yakima rack, and the holder mounted to the passenger side frame.  Not sure I'll be able to get those completed before our initial outing next weekend.  Thanks in advance

    For your first outing a big plastic garbage bag will do well, and you can store it in your shower, removing it from the trailer when you get home. That will buy you some time to get or make what you want. Have fun on your maiden voyage!

    I do essentially what homebodyatheart says. The first trip I stowed it in a heavy duty (5 mil) contractor bag and put it in the bed of the truck. Since then, all I've done is add a mesh bag over the outside of the trash bag to make handling easier. No smell, no muss and no fuss. So far, it works well enough that way so I haven't been inclined to do it differently.

    We have the 15 ft hose plus spare caps and the transparent elbow all stored in a red 5 gallon bucket with lid.

    "We have the 15 ft hose plus spare caps and the transparent elbow all stored in a red 5 gallon bucket with lid."

    Hmmmmm... This is a good idea.

    I have the 15' rhino hose and it just stays in the Outback tub.  We have dual Golf Cart batteries and it still fits.  I put a flexible plastic divider between the batteries and the hose and the hose drapes over the batteries a bit. With the end caps on and the ventilation of the tub there's no smell. 

    I thought about putting a tube on the Yakima rack, but I don't like the idea of it dripping down the back of the T@b.

    Ditto all the above... plus I was able to find a Sterilite tub that fits perfectly in the cupboard under the bench in my clamshell with just enough room for extra TP and garbage bags :)
