RonJ: I'm going to print this pic out and paste it in my sewer compartment! (JK)  roflol
I just ran out to the camper to try it and found that my hose is  about 4' longer, but with one extra partial loop I was able to get it in there though not as neatly as yours.
The thing I was missing was to use the top left clip for the outlet fitting. I was always trying to close the door with that floating and it has always been a struggle.
Thanks for the pic!  2o2

Glad to help, Jim. Is your hose 4 feet longer or 4 inches longer? If mine was any longer I can imagine how much more difficult it would be to cram it all in.

I think it might be almost 4 feet longer. Though I just got back from a  campground where I had my hose stretched out to the max for a few days so may not have returned to original length yet.
Will take a closer look tomorrow and maybe measure it.

It is possible the hose is the same length but has liquid in it.  You want to make sure your hose is empty when storing it.  When I am done dumping, I shake the hose starting at the PC, working my way to the outlet.

FWIW:  Mine stores exactly like RonJ's though his is perfectly stacked.

Finally got around to checking the hose length.
Hose is empty, and in a relaxed state it is about 13.5' long.
With moderate pull it can be stretched to 17'
I tried again to stack my hose like Ron's but found I needed to make an extra loop indicating I have some extra length.
Maybe 3-4 feet worth.

My storage compartment is about 42" long meaning I would need almost 4 lengths (162" / 42" = 3.86) where Ron got his to fit in 3 lengths of the compartment.

But now that I see how to secure the end fitting properly it is much easier to get it all closed up without undue pressure on the latches.

Thanks again!

Jim,
You seem to have a longer sanicon hose than I do.  My 2007 2350 stores exactly like RonJ has pictured.

My hose will soon be shorted a little because I developed a pin-hole leak close to the pump.  I dabbed some silicone caulk which has been holding well for a few years so far, but when it gives out, I will shorten it by that much.
