Valterra Adjustable RV Sewer Hose Carrier A04-3460BK — Lockable, Vented 4.45" ID Storage

The Valterra A04-3460BK is an adjustable, lockable sewer hose carrier that stores most 3" RV drain hoses securely while preventing moisture buildup.

If you’re tired of stashing hoses in compartments or on bumpers where they get dirty or damage other gear, this molded carrier gives a dedicated, weather-resistant home for your sewer line. It ships assembled with mounting brackets and self-tapping screws for a straightforward install. The carrier’s inside diameter and vented, quarter-turn caps make it versatile enough for additional uses like storing long tools or fishing poles without reels attached.

Will this carrier fit my RV sewer hose and accessories?

Yes—this carrier accepts the vast majority of 3" drain hoses and their fittings, offering a universal-fit solution for standard RV plumbing. The only common exception is one-piece 90-degree sewer fittings, which may not sit inside the tube comfortably. Measure your hose outside diameter and compare to the carrier’s inner diameter to be sure.

• Inner diameter: 4.45" (suitable for most 3" hoses)
• Fits standard hose lengths and straight fittings
• Not compatible with integrated one-piece 90° elbow fittings

How easy is it to install and mount on my RV?

Installation is designed to be quick: the carrier comes assembled with pre-glued mounting brackets and includes self-tapping screws so you can secure it to many surfaces. Its adjustable layout lets you choose the best mounting position for clearance and convenience. The included hardware reduces the need to source extra parts before starting.

• Pre-glued brackets speed installation
• Self-tapping screws included for immediate mounting
• Adjustable positioning to fit under chassis or along sidewalls

How does the carrier protect hoses and control odors or moisture?

Each end cap features venting to keep air flowing inside the tube, which helps limit trapped moisture and reduces the chance of stale odors. The caps are quarter-turn twist-on style and have attached rubber straps so you won’t misplace them during use. For security when parked or stored, each cap has a loop where a padlock can be added.

• Vented end caps reduce moisture accumulation
• Quarter-turn caps for fast access with rubber retaining straps
• Built-in loops allow padlock attachment for extra security

What else can I store in the carrier besides sewer hoses?

Because of its 4.45" inner diameter and rigid construction, the carrier works well for long, slender items that need protection from road grime—think unsheathed fishing rods, levelers, or spare poles. Avoid storing items with reels, bulky heads, or one-piece angled components that won’t fit comfortably. The carrier’s shape and ventilation make it a versatile spot for non-porous gear.

• Suitable for fishing poles without reels, tent poles, or long tools
• Not recommended for bulky or angled one-piece fittings
• Rigid construction shields gear from road debris

Who is this for? RV owners who want a neat, secure place to store their sewer hose and similar long, narrow equipment will appreciate the Valterra A04-3460BK. It’s aimed at users who prefer a ready-to-mount solution with ventilation, easy access, and the option to lock their hose away. If you need a durable, weather-resistant carrier that installs quickly and keeps hoses off bumpers or compartments, this model provides a practical balance of fit, protection, and security.
