Valterra RV Adjustable EZ Hose Carrier — Black, 4.45" I.D., Lockable Vented Caps

Valterra A04-5094BK is a black adjustable RV hose carrier with vented, lockable end caps designed to store most 3" drain hoses and small gear securely on your RV exterior.

Keep your drain hose and slim outdoor items organized and protected while traveling. This molded polyethylene carrier ships assembled with mounting brackets and self-tapping screws for a straightforward exterior install. The carrier’s adjustable length and 4.45" inside diameter accommodate common sewer hose sizes and some accessories, while vented caps prevent moisture buildup. Optional padlocks can be added to the cap loops for added security.

How does this carrier make RV hose storage easier?

The carrier holds most 3" RV drain hoses in a single, weather-resistant tube so hoses stay off the ground and out of your storage bay. Its pre-glued brackets and included fasteners speed installation and give you multiple mounting options along your vehicle’s exterior. Caps strap to the body so you won’t lose them when open, and quarter-turn closures make access fast.

• Inside diameter: 4.45" accommodates standard 3" hoses and fittings (except one-piece 90° sewer elbows)
• Assembled with fixed mounting brackets and self-tapping screws for easy attach
• Strapped, quarter-turn lockable caps reduce lost parts and speed deployment

Will the carrier protect hoses from weather and moisture?

Yes — the molded body keeps hoses shielded from road debris and sun exposure, while vented caps discourage trapped condensation that could lead to mildew. The durable plastic resists corrosion and is easy to rinse clean after use. Venting also helps air circulate so stored items stay drier between trips.

• Vented end caps prevent moisture buildup and aid airflow
• UV-resistant polyethylene body stands up to sun and road wear
• Smooth interior surface is easy to clean and won’t abrade hose material

How secure is the carrier while parked or on the road?

The caps include looped tabs that accept a small padlock for theft deterrence and added peace of mind when the rig is unattended. The carrier mounts with fixed brackets and screws to keep it firmly attached over rough roads. Caps are quarter-turn style with straps so they stay attached during travel and won’t fall off at highway speeds.

• End cap loops accept padlocks for extra security
• Pre-glued mounting brackets and included self-tapping screws ensure a robust attachment
• Strapped caps remain tethered when opened, preventing loss on the road

Can I store anything else in this carrier besides sewer hoses?

Yes — the 4.45" internal diameter and elongated design suit slim items such as fishing poles (reels removed), folding tent poles, or other long tools. Avoid storing large fittings like one-piece 90° sewer elbows, which may not fit. Use the carrier for any narrow item that benefits from exterior, out-of-the-way storage.

• Suitable for fishing poles without reels, folding poles, and long accessories
• Not recommended for one-piece 90° sewer fittings due to shape constraints
• Versatile interior fits multiple slender items for tidy exterior storage

Who is this for: RV owners and weekend travelers who want a no-fuss solution to store and protect drain hoses and slim outdoor gear. It’s especially useful for those who value quick installation, weather protection, and the option to lock gear when parked. If you need a compact, durable carrier that mounts externally and keeps hoses off the ground, the Valterra A04-5094BK offers a practical, travel-ready option.
