Mod: Sewer Hose Carrier
DETAILS: Sewer Hose Carrier
I installed the D&W Corp. "Super-Slider" sewer hose carrier and it works great! I bought the 43/80 size and installed it at a 64" length. An alternative product from Amazon is the Valterra 50-94” Adjustable Hose Carrier that serves the same function and can be installed at the same 64” length. Either way, I recommend getting an adjustable carrier that lets you customize the length based on your mounting location.
These carriers fit up to 15' of RhinoFLEX sewer hoses with all fittings on both sides of the hose including the clear 90 degree elbow, clear 45 degree swivel fitting as well as the 4-in-1 dump station connection/adaptor. I mounted it so you can open both ends of the carrier fully with no obstructions.
In addition to easier access to the sewer hose and fittings, the best part is that I've just freed up space in my driver-side storage bay!
Installation
It only requires drilling a total of 4 small holes in the molded plastic of the rear basement bays (see pictures). I bought stainless steel nuts, bolts and washers since they will hold up for exterior use. If necessary for vertical spacing under the rig, you can add 1” plastic spacers and longer stainless steel bolts to mount the sewer hose carrier 1” lower.
Sewer Hoses
I originally used a 15’ RhinoFlex sewer hose, but it was almost always too long. I now combine a 10’ and 5’ RhinoFlex together in the sewer hose carrier. The two hoses can be disconnected from each other and attached independently to the sewer drain depending on the length needed. If/when I need 15’ (which is very rare), I connect the two hoses together.
The 20’ sewer hose kit linked below comes with two 10’ sections (I keep the extra 10’ hose as a spare). The clear elbow included in the kit is helpful when monitoring the status of the job at hand. The quality of the fittings will give you confidence that the seals are tight.
I purchased the 5’ sewer hose separately (linked below) and attach it to my 10’ section and fittings when stored inside the sewer hose carrier.
Carabiner Latch Locks
As a final touch, I’d recommend clipping small stainless carabiners in the latch holes on both sides of the sewer hose carrier to ensure the hinged doors never open unintentionally.
