Hi. New to the forums and wondered if anybody had the lengths on the hydraulic hoses (Lippert System) used for the leveling jacks and slide out on this coach? Thought I'd ask here BEFORE I shimmy my fat butt under the coach and start measuring and before I take them all off. Just replaced the motor and the saw that the hoses are falling apart... You'd think they wouldn't be so cheap as to not use regular hoses to save a 100 bucks. I'll bet SOMEONE has replaced all these hoses in the past... Thanks so much if you can help!

I started by finding wasted space to store the sewer hoses and connectors, I used two heater duct about 5 feet long with end caps. One is 6 inch dia and the other is 5 inch. 5 inch will work just fine. Click pictures to make larger. This show the hose going in the 5 inch duct with connectors. These ducts will hold 20 feet of hose with connectors each. I brought two ten foot plastic gutter the cheap 4 inch wide and cut off 25 inches off them to fit the length of the cargo bay. It is wasted space where I put them between the wall and cargo tray slide. This is the gutters on the ground ready to be put together to make a tray for the drain hoses. This is the two gutters snapped together to make a sliding tray for the sewer hose This is the sewer hoses laid in the gutter tray. Make the gutter tray slightly longer than needed for the sewer hose. I used 10 inch bungee cord to keep the snapped part of the gutter tray together This is the final setup to have the hose run off as best as you can get without dips to trap sewer water. I have two problems this solved, the coach is low in the rear and the campground drain would only allow the tip of the elbow to be inserted. This project to me is better and cost less than what is out there. The two gutters and bungee cords cost about $15. The duct work with caps was less than $25. This makes managing the sewer hose system so much better and less messy.

Just wondering if anyone has rigged up a hose reel in one of your bins for the water hose. I've seen curly ones and that might be my next buy but for now I would like to store the hose with out it bending, twisting and/or folding. Anyone?
