Airstream Maintenance

Upon returning from our last outing with the tin can, I stopped at the RV dump to empty out the black tank (sewer tank).  The norm is pull up, grab the sewer hose, empty the tank, do a quickie rinse, then put the hose back in the carrying pipe and motor back home.

Imagine my surprise when I pulled up, bent down to get the sewer hose and realize the pipe that carries the sewer hose was totally MIA!  The only thing left was an end cap - DOH!!
somewhere along the dirt roads of backcountry Montana there is a PVC pipe with a sewer hose snaking out of it.
Where it was supposed to be:
Since it is sorta kinda important to have a sewer hose and carrying mode, I made a quick trip to the hardware store where I picked up some end caps, clamps to secure the PVC, and a new hose...about an hour later, voila, back to having a functioning storage system for the sewer stuff...

the end caps screw on and the sewer hose is stored inside - out of the way....
the mystery loss happened sometime before this pic as the pipe is missing in this pic...dogs are showing their concern too...pic of the Bitterroot - Big Hole area
