Question for you ... I don't like the sewer hoses in the rear bumper. Has any body found a good place to mount a PVC with end caps to hold the hoses on a Mountaineer TT? Any suggestions for a good place to hang this underneath?

On my Montana 2880 I mounted it sideways near the front. Attached it with nuts and bolts thru the sheet metal floor at the rear of the front (battery) compartment. Not real strong, but it has held up fine - it is only holding a sewer hose. It is also reasonably hidden and close to the drain.

Ours is mounted underneath near the front and is attached with self-tapping screws into the frame in three places. I added another one just like it using off the shelf parts from Home Depot. Be sure to get the pipe with some holes on one side and mount those holes on the bottom so water will drain. I also used those holes to drill up into the frame and get the socket driver in there to mount the screws. Now I have a long hose in one pipe and a medium length in the other. I think I'm going to add a third one for the shorty I often use at dump stations.

Gvons,

Lots of great ideas in this thread. First thing I did to our '04 305FKS was the taller Thetford toilet, then extra coat hooks on the back of the bedroom doors. Next was a piece of aircraft cable under the slide to take the spring pressure off the power cord(s). Have added several pieces of oak in the kitchen - paper towel holder under the cabinets and spice rack. Also added lexan back splash pieces on both wall surfaces behind kitchen stove top. Am in the middle of adding a 12 volt circuit to the slide out for lighting above the couch and dinette. Have the parts also for adding satelite coax to entertainment area from exterior of coach. Maxaire covers on all exterior vents and fantastic fan over the bedroom area. More in the planning stage.
