Valterra RV Sewer Hose Carrier Adjustable 4.45" ID Hard-Shell Tube with Vented Caps and Lockable Closure

The Valterra A04-3460BK is an adjustable, lockable sewer hose carrier designed to store and protect most 3-inch RV drain hoses with vented end caps to reduce moisture.

This hard-shell tube keeps dirty hoses out of storage compartments and off bumpers, giving you a tidy exterior mounting solution. Built with a 4.45" inner diameter, it accepts the vast majority of 3" drain hoses and fittings (excluding one-piece 90° sewer elbows). The carrier ships assembled with mounting brackets and fasteners so you can fit it to your RV quickly and reposition it when needed.

Will this carrier fit my 3" RV sewer hose?

Yes — the carrier is sized to accommodate most 3" drain hoses and their common fittings while excluding one-piece 90-degree elbow assemblies. Its internal diameter offers room for hose coils without compressing the hose, and the adjustable mount lets you align the tube with available space on your RV.

• Inner diameter: 4.45" for universal 3" hose compatibility
• Not suitable for one-piece 90° sewer fittings
• Adjustable bracket spacing to fit different mounting positions
• Secure quarter-turn caps keep contents enclosed during travel

How easy is it to install and secure?

Installation is straightforward: the unit arrives assembled with pre-attached mounting brackets and includes self-tapping screws to anchor the carrier to your RV. The brackets adjust so you can position the carrier vertically or horizontally, and each vented cap includes a loop for adding a padlock for theft prevention.

• Comes assembled to cut installation time
• Includes self-tapping screws for immediate mounting
• Adjustable brackets adapt to mounting surface and orientation
• Padlock-ready cap loops for added security

How does the carrier manage odor and moisture?

The end caps are vented to allow airflow and reduce trapped moisture that can cause odors and mildew. The quarter-turn caps seal the tube during travel while still permitting ventilation, helping hoses dry between uses and minimizing lingering smells.

• Vented end caps promote airflow and drying
• Quarter-turn caps provide a secure, easy-to-open closure
• Strapped caps prevent loss when open
• Design reduces moisture buildup and lingering odors

What other items can I store in this tube?

Beyond sewer hoses, the carrier’s 4.45" interior fits long, narrow items you prefer to keep outside compartments, such as fishing rods without reels or lightweight poles. Its rigid shell shields stored gear from road debris and weather while keeping the exterior of your RV tidy.

• Long, slim items like fishing poles (reel removed) or tent poles
• Folded power cords, water hoses (if diameter fits) and similar gear
• Rigid housing protects against impacts and grime
• Lock loop secures valuables left on the exterior

Who this is for: RV owners and weekend campers who want a durable, low-maintenance way to store 3" sewer hoses and other elongated gear on the exterior of their vehicle. If you value simple installation, ventilation to reduce moisture, and the option to lock your items for peace of mind, the Valterra A04-3460BK offers a practical and tidy storage solution.
