Default sewer hose

dang, I was going to say that!

However, I have a story about that. Was merrily driving down the road about 60 mph, into a decent headwind. Bucket with sewer hose in back of truck bed, which is open since we have a 5th wheel.

You see now this isn't going to end well.

I guess the extra headwind caused additional lifting vector forces because the next I heard is a big rattle as the hose gets sucked out of the bucket and onto the freeway (I-10 in west TX I think).

The guy in the left lane fortunately was far enough back that he was able to avoid it, but I'm sure that was a real surprise for him. Next stop was Walmart for a replacement unit.

I don't carry the hose in the bed anymore, its inside the trailer, but I take extra effort to be sure it's rinsed out really really good before I store it.
