Filed:
Apr 1, 2000
Appl. No.:
9/541881
Inventors:

International Classification:

US Classification:
13735516
Abstract:
A receptacle mounted on the outside of a recreational vehicle (RV) is provided for stowing an RV's compressible waste drain hose. The stowage receptacle comprises a housing for receiving and storing the hose in a compressed configuration, and supports for mounting the housing to the outside of the vehicle. The stowage receptacle is mounted preferably under the vehicle, in a location where excess moisture can drain from apertures in the receptacle, and where airflow from the vehicle's movement can pass through the apertures and facilitate drying any residual moisture left in the receptacle or drain hose. Typically, the housing is mounted to an appropriate fame or chassis member, proximate the drain port for the vehicle's waste holding tank(s). When needed, the drain hose may be released and removed from the stowage receptacle.
