Two tips for your consideration
One is a wire mesh gutter screen cradle for the sewer drain hose, makes it pretty stable, no 'crawling' of the longer accordion hose. They store pretty compact. I use Velcro to hold them on with the hose, also I used Velcro on a flat rock to hold the 90 in the C.G. drain. I really like the plastic fold-up support as well.
The second is a head knocker prev enter cushion available for a pittance at C.W. 
I don't care for the 'Noodles', looks tacky. I had to screw it on, as the sticky tape it comes with, is just no good.

Hey Mr. Service Rep. can you clean up those routings so they look neat and uniform? I see the 50amp cord is very untidy and should be redressed neatly from the services center.
Thats just too much stuff for me to stow, I try to keep my ecoli contamination all stuffed in the underbelly PVC tube, don't know where to stowe the wire screen...might have bumped my head once too many times!
Hahaha, maybe I need a Heineken

You got a nice selection of rocks to choose from there. If you need some bigger ones, we got some real big ones up here in Utah. I think it's time for

Ozz, you should sit down at the computer (when you have time) and write a book "RV Remodeling for Dummies". Enclose all of your remodeling photos and how to's into the book. Then you could start your own "Ozz's Tool Time for RV's" and broadcast Live from where ever your are at.
Obviously, I have too much time on my hands at the moment.
 to you and the DW.

As for the part number, I don't have that, I just pulled a package off of the end cap at Baudry in Tucson.
Maybe someone with a catalog will have it.

Jim,
I see you need another toy. Ed says this is the best thing I have ever found. Check out hosebuddy.com. It only cost $13 plus shipping. Fits all connections, come in various colors, weighs almost nothing unless you fill it with sand (we fill ours with water and then empty it each time) and doesn't take up much room. Works every time. They have a buy 1 get one free special right now so you could go in with Rich or someone else and get two.
Happy trails....................

Oops. I use 2 bright pink "Noodles" cut to fit around both corners of the slide. Believe me, I don't just knock my head against the corners but also against the edge anywhere I decide to raise my head too soon. I know, I know...don't do that. I keep saying that to myself but keep right on doing it and still doing it after six years. Did it two days ago when parking at Catalina Spa Resort in Desert Hot Springs, CA and then again yesterday, and also today. My wife has even gone to the trouble to draw up a sign saying "Hit Head Here" for me. But she'd have to hang a banner full length of the slide.
So Ozz, when we meet, I'm the one with the bright pink noodle material on my bedroom slide. I don't think you'll think it's too tacky. If you do, take it up with my wife; she likes it. Also, when I do hit my head on it, it doesn't hurt too bad.

Sorry Orv, I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder.....
Makes it seem prettier when your head stays safe.

Orv, I'm with you. My head is an equal opportunity knocker. It'll hit the side, corner, bottom you name it. Instead of pink noodles mine are orange. I do like the look of Ozz's deal better, it just doesn't offer enough protection for me from myself.
Rick.

SusieQ,
Don't you wish you would have thought of that?
I like it, but am a little partial to the 'Fred Flintstone' look of my weight and velcro, the flat rock method.
I hate to tell the Peeps here at The Islander RV Resort, but they are going to be short one flat river rock, when the Ozzman departs. I've grown partial to that rock.... 
Poo Peeps have Poo ways.

I agree Ozz you ought to write a book with all of your great uprgrades, or else go to work for Keystone as a technical consultant. Sorry to miss your mini-rally, hopefully by the time we hit the road Wednesday for alabama we will have our lives back in order and will be able to concentrate on rving and good folks like Sue and yourself. Have great holiday my friend!!!

Plastic rain gutter also works well for a sewer hose guide.

Dang it Bob, we will miss you at Baudry by two days. We are heading out to South Padre via San Antinio.
Leave some cookie crumbs for me to follow.
Hope to meet up with you two in the future. I'm going to try like the Devil to get Snfexpress, Michael and Kathy to come with us.

Ozz, sorry to hear you're so fond of the river rock you have. Found one about 60 miles North of home that I was going to send down, all cut out for a sewer hose.
