John and Barbra Thompson have been full time RVers for 12 years and live in a Travel Supreme 5th Wheel. John retired from the Army as a CW-4 combat engineer.
He designed and built this PVC hose and filter rack himself.
A bungee cord holds the center together as the middle PVC joints are not glued but allowed to pivot freely.
Here you can see that the bungee cord also holds the filter assembly in place.
The hose on the rack also acts to hold the rack together. Short lengths of light weight chain are used for width restraint.
Barbra puts the rack up against the 5er slide when it is windy to prevent it from blowing over.
The front legs are split with two 45 degree elbows that are permanently glued in place. This effectively enlarges the “footprint” of the rack giving it more stability.

Cool! You are so smart!
built a much simpler one by bending 1/4 steel road fit to hold filters and hose and fit over beams under slide. could also use pvc pipe. keeps hose out of sun also.
