Apart from a front boot exploding with hoses, sullage hoses etc. whenever the boot is opened, what would the best method of packing be? e.g. boxes, bags?

Many fit PVC pipes of around 150mm either running lengthways or crosswards under the van or attached to the rear bumper. That way youre not getting nasty smelly liquid in your boot.
My 'van has a very solid galvanized mesh welded between the A frame draw bar. We wind the hoses up and hold them together with a couple of long strips of Velcro and they join the jockey wheel, wheel chocks and other dirty stuff.

Mine has 2 pipes 5mtrs long and the front has a 10 mlhole to allow water and odour to evacuate .Cheers
If your going to store in boot ? Have at least a plastic storage bin to load it in. Most dumps have water to flush hose .. Atleast grey water. M/T last to flush .,

Gooday,
Definitely in PVC pipe underneath for Water Hoses and Sullage, extra sullage in Chassis rail

Hi, I have one of those flat wind up sullage hose which I store next to my generator in the garden shed at home, don't like it. Enough said.
What I have now and use is a 15 litre sort of square ex sheep drench drum painted grey with a screw lid that we run our grey water into and then walk that to a appropriate place to release it. Better then dropping it on the ground where you walk or where the next camper going to park and if you have water views parking you will need to have a lots of hose so the sullage don't run into the waterway to pollute it. A few camping books I have read on dumping of sullage say not with in 50 mtres and others 200 metres of creek or waterway. Thats a lot of hose to carry.
I do carry 2 short lenghts of sullage hose with a joiner in our pole tube carrier across the back for when we are a C/P site and they have a sullage drain near by to drop into.
For our water hose we use a bag made of shade cloth, keeps it together, you feed the hose in though a round hole in the side, works treat. I was thinking we would get one for electrical lead also. They do pack well.
Hope this helps.

PVC pipe is OK if you can get a straight run. Not possible under my Sunliner motorhome.
So tried using flexible suction pipe used on firepumps, simply fastened it to chassis rails with cable ties with a few gentle curves around obstacles. Sullage hose feeds in quite easily but firmly enough to stay put when travelling.
Works really well.

Exactly what I have done. Had some spare steel mesh that I cut to fit under the "A" bar behind the gas bottles. Roll up the pipes and tie then just slide onto mesh frame. Simple. Col

Just how long are your sullage hoses?

I have 2x about 8m lengths in conduits under the chassis for normal use & two rarely used spares in the open chassis rails.
In rare cases where I need extra long hoses I can join the lengths using appropriately sized pieces of conduit.

I have screw connectors on my sullage hoses, none of them are over 4 metres length. I roll them up and couple the ends together, that solves the water in the boot problem. After I roll them up I stuff them in cast off pool chemical bags. 25 kg potting mix bags are suitable also.

I too have a long length poked up a chassis rail, then a shorter piece in the boot coiled up and the two ends joined with joiner so no leaking.
