I went to Home Depot and bought a 5 x 5 x 8 ft fence post and two end caps. My son helped me secure the fence post under the TM in front of the forward stabilizers jacks (see attached pics). We first located a suitable attachment point along the main frame. Using loosely attached zip ties made that part fairly easy. Once the location was established we drilled a small hole in the upper wall of the fence post. Next we drilled a ½” hole on the opposite wall to allow the insertion of a screw and hex drill driver. He held the screw back just enough for me to reach inside the post and add a large fender washer onto the screw. I then guided the screw/washer assembly into the predrilled hole in the upper wall and the predrilled hole in the bottom of the frame. Once the screws were secured we installed a few additional zip ties for added support. I use a plastic gutter in which to store the sewer hose.
