Can the RhinoFLEX Sewer Hose Fit in a Hollow 4 Inch Square Steel Bumper on a Trailer

Question:

I just bought a 2015 - 26 foot Springdale by Keystone Ind. bumper pull double axle camper/rv The Rhino flex hose will not fit into the 4inch thin gage bumper/sewer hose storage because the orange fittings are 4 my local metals supplier said that it does not sell 6inch thin gage square tubing I got a 93x4inch sch 40 plumbing pipe at Lowes for $50.00 and the 2 collars with 2 end caps were 4x$12.00 over $100.00 bucks with tax. 4inch rhino wont fit and heavy, plus I have not figured how to mount it. the 6inch sch 40 is heaver and more costly. Am I the only person with this problem that you have heard of? and where does the 90degree elbow store You guys must have an employee that has a camper, please ask them. my brother has an idea- take a side grinder and grind down the orange collar till it fits into the bumper. please help me with this problem and figure it out because I hate shopping at wily-world

To fit the hose in the bumper you will have to take the orange collars off the ends of the RhinoFLEX hose. There should be side storage on your trailer that you can store these and other items in allow the hose by itself to fit as intended.

This is the first time I have heard of this issue and I am surprised since 4 inch square is the typical size for a trailer bumper and the orange sleeves are larger diameter. The only option would be to remove the collars and the elbow and store them separately.
