Camper Mod: Sewer Hose Storage

I was not happy with the short Sewer Hose Storage pipes that you get at CampingWorld. These are smaller in diameter and shorter in length. I was looking for something that stores the x-tra long hose and the additional accessories.

1) Pipe Connection to Travel Trailer, used flex band to bend around the pipe. This end is caped off but not glued. I used screws in case i ever need to open this on this side.


2) This side has a threaded cap which I secured with a string.


3)Another view

Camper Mod: BackUp Camera - Ready to Roll

1) Camera is housed in a PVC pipe. The white piece is removable and has the the camera screwed into. The reason for this is to be able to remove the camera and to adjust the tilt of the horizon if necessary.


2) PVC pipe is sprayed black and attached to the tire carrier.


3) Now we have a perfect view on the street behind the travel trailer.
