I don't have an Escape (I have a 160rbt) but yesterday I put a hose carrier on top of the bumper. I secured it to the bumper with the worm drive type hose clamps. I think it looks pretty good. I'll try to get a picture of it tonight.

I put the black water hose in the bumper. Is there a reason to not do this?

I also read on this forum that the inside of the bumper can rust and cause the hose to get worn and leak. I looked inside my bumper and found that it is in fact rusting. When it comes to the sewer hose I decided better safe than sorry and bought a plastic storage tube. Also, the tube has a wider diameter than the bumper so I can now fit all the pieces of the hose inside.

Someone who owned my trailer before I did installed the stabilizers by drilling into the bottom of the back bumper with sheetrock screws which are pointed and very sharp. Otherwise, I would store my sewer hose inside the bumper.

I'm surprised they have not been dragged off going in or out a a gas station. Get them where they belong before you do. |

Well I have out sewer hose container attached to back bumper an yes I have scrapped it off coming out of a truck stop after fueling ... I re-attached it in the same place an now watch here I go into an out off, that isn't to say I won't do it again Ugh !!! ... As well I have carried the sewer hose in the bumper but it got pin hoses in such after a few years but that was a cheap hose ... At the last Kz Rally I saw out neighbor that had his sewer hose round container attached to the frame near his dump valve I thought what a great Idea an am working on doing the same thing on out 5th wheel ... I have also seen owner using plastic fence post attached to the top of rear bumper which would work as well ... Also though about a long length of PVC across the trailer an attached to the bottom of the I beam just north of the front of the trailer wheels ... Safe Travels  Chuck |
