Plumbers tape is a great material to use for strapping and it is cheap and strong.

I also used a section of vinyl 5" square fence post. Also used a section of vinyl gutter as a tray.

just be warned (learned the hard way ONCE) that some older bumpers have rust inside... think sand paper.
couple that with miles and miles of road vibration...
just believe me when I say that many little invisible pinholes in your sewer hose = bad day
after that, the new replacement hose got stored in a shallow tote along with the connectors and a box of gloves.

I had a couple of pvc tubes under my class A much like that fence post ^ that tray idea worked great .
You just taught an old dog a new trick ! The vinyl probably weighs less too .
I'll be trying square next time.....
stay tuned

I have one permanently mounted under the van, open a latch, pull it out and connect it. I carry an extension hose in case I can't get close enough to the dump hole. I carry it in a tote.
I had to replace the permanent hose shortly after I got it as it had little wear holes in the bottom. It stores in a length of black 4 "(?) open ended pipe. Very handy to use this way. I replaced with the heaviest duty one I could find which ended up costing me about a foot in pull out length.

Thought of drilling small holes in both ends to ventilate/dry the hose ?
Screen it so wasps don't move in..
stay tuned

Just another Vinyl Fence Post comment...
I put a 5 foot long 4 inch fence post under my travel trailer, used plumbers tape and a couple of self tapping sheet metal screws into the frame.
Plenty of length for two sections of Sewer Hose.
The cap is held on loosely but securely with a hitch pin, allowing any moisture to evaporate and still keeps the bugs out.
