However, if you'd rather wait till fall to do that miserable job, you
can buy youreself that much time by wrapping the hoses in Saran
Wrap...it must be Saran...no other brand.

Aluminium tape will do nicely too.

You have to be very careful using aluminum tape...to make sure that it
doesn't ever come in contact anywhere with any wiring or metal. 'Cuz if
it does, galvanic corrosion and/or electrolysis is the result.

Good point, I guess a layer of duct tape or similar would take care of
that.

The line from my toilet runs under the bed, through the rear wall
(transom?) of the interior and into a tank in the engine compartment.
Recently I've removed the walls from around the bottom of the bed,
and now the stink from the hose is much more noticable. It's a white
plastic hose and you can see that there is wire reinforcement within.
Is there something I can wrap the hose in, or any other methods to
reduce the amount of smell that gets out through the hose?

Thanks,
David

I've had some success with a product called Febreeze, usually found
with laundry or carpet cleaning products. It's made to eliminate pet
odors, etc. Sprayed on the outside of the hose, it seems to
neutralize the odor temporarily. YMMV, but I tried it several months
ago and the odor still hasn't come back. I'm sure it's not a
permanent solution though.

To reply, lose the capitals and do the obvious.

Replacing the sanitation hose can be a huge PITA and the stuff is
ridiculously expensive. If your schedule and wallet don't have room for this
now, you can get seal the outside of the hose by painting it.
I've done this with black hose, but not white so don't know what kind of
paint to use.
If there is a leak, break out the wifes platex dish washing gloves! She
probably won't want them back when your done....
