Travato 59k. Back INSIDE storage with access from the outside

[anon125]

Has anyone found a box that uses most of the back storage on a 59k?
We don't like the blue hose so we will probably geet a rhino tougher hose that has a fitting each end so it won't go in the side hose storage hole.
Wondering if there was Rubbermaid type that fits,
Thanks all

I assume you are talking about the dump hose? If so do you really want that smelly think inside the van?

I am in the midst of attaching a conduit carrier Amazon.com
on 24" long 6" diameter PVC tube to backside of the van's hitch. I will be drilling and tapping 4 holes into carrier mounting brackets and attached them to the hitch right side of the crossbar.

I ended up doing something similar. The van came with a short sewer tube mounted lengthwise under the bumper, lower than the hitch. It bottomed out and got tore up pretty regularly. I tried a couple other mounting spots, and finally ended up mounting it crosswise behind the bumper on a hitch extension (a pintle mount).

I don't use the hitch. If I did, I'd have to come up with a better idea.

Us too, only ours is behind the bumper strapped to the propane tank. We have never used ours as it is the emergency hose if we have to use the gravity dump setup because of a macerator failure. I do hook it up every few years just to test the backup system valve and flush that section.

Is that tube large enough to have the hose connections on too?
the travato has hose storage but not when you have connections on both ends.

6" tube is large enough to accept these 3 items, Camco elbow https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N5H2FCE, 2' Camco hose Amazon.com, and RV sewage adapter https://www.amazon.com/dp/B098BMXGCQ. For straight connectors a 4" tube could be enough.
