One drawback to the 34 footer is a dearth of basement storage. I've been trying to figure out a good way to stow the sewer hose (I've been keeping it in a plastic bin in the joey bed compartment). After I swapped out the muffler for a resonator it freed up just enough space for a five foot piece of PVC pipe which holds my six foot hose. If you go the full six feet there is no room to maneuver the hose into the pipe. I just feed it through the small compartment door that accesses the air cleaner. Anyhow, if you have a 270 or 295 with the muffler mounted up high you might be able to do something similar.

Did something very similar on 1993 U240.
Neat! ^.^d
Roger that. Sewer hose isn't really something that I want around ANYTHING else. Ours feeds in through the house battery compartment.
Ours is two thin wall PVC tubes extending thru the inside wall of our dump valve compartment and tipped downward below the center of the coach. The ends, by the compartment door, are fastened to the ceiling of the compartment with plumbers straps. Drains well, and the low ends of the tubes are also blocked with plumbers strap/hanger so the slinky doesn't slide on thru
Brett did a nice job on ours: spare hose on the right. ^.^d
Jor - as you know we have a 34' and wrestled with the same question. What we did is have a compartment built into the otherwise open space in the rearmost drivers side compartment ( otherwise empty) especially large as a result of havin our muffler replaced by a resonator. This compartment is large enough for a 50' - 50 amp extension cord, 50' additional water hose, a removable tub large enough for a 25' and 15' Rhino-flex sewer hoses and associated fittings as well as most of our spare fuel filters. Happy to add pictures if desired.
We kept the original FT hose in it's normal utility bay storage location which still works for most normal camping locations.
Along the engine for the extra one.
Yea, I'd love to see some photos of that. I didn't think there was enough room there on top of the air cleaner.
Chris, that is a fine idea. I just might knock it off and gain an extra length of hose.

Previous owner gets the glory. It's a 25'. I actually removed it at 1st, because with our tall Jeep tow hitch couldn't get in. But I added an extension to it, then put it back in.
He used sewer drain pipe, so it breath's really good.
I have a connector for the 2, goes up to 50'

Chris. Got to ask. Where does the drippage go.
Onto the asphalt I'm afraid.
I flush it good before it goes in, but any moister ends up dried by the motor, or on the ground.
When I finish dumping only gray water is in the hose.
