Carpet Storage
I have read in others that were storing there outside carpet in a tube under the rig. well I have a carpet and it is as small as I can make it, and it is about 9" so where can I get a tube or pipe that big? I can only find 4"

You can get it at a Plumbing supply house.

Got ours at a local (not chain like Lowe's) builders' supply company. Now I just have to finish building it.

I bought a length of 6" PVC pipe at a local Lowes. One end is enclosed with a 6" PVC end cap secured with a couple of screws and the other 6" PVC end cap is removeable secured with a T Pin while traveling. I had a couple of 2" wide pieces of aluminum rolled to fit the tube and fasioned a piece of aluminum to fit between the strap ends and space it all down about 1.5" from the frame. One key point is to use a length of 1/2" metal electrical conduit to start your roll and keep it tight while rolling it up ... otherwise you'll be hard pressed to fit a 6' by 15' carpet in the tube. The whole assy is bolted to the frame a few inches behind the front jack legs. I have pictures, but am challenged to get them to post here. This system works well to eliminate soiled rugs crammed down the middle of your hallway inside the camper or across the storage space below the bedroom. I have also seen a few fivers with multiple tubes for other items like fishing poles and tiki lamps.

We have two 6" tubes mounted as dieselguy described, one for the sewer hose and the other for fishing poles, etc. Glen bought them at a plumbing supply, I think. They work great. We do store our "carpet" (they're actually plastic beach mats) in the basement as they are lightweight and easy to roll up and wash off.
