Default Flex hose support

I'm wondering what most folks that camp with sewer connections use to support their flex hose.
When I had my Minni Winnie, I had a support made from 4 inch pvc pipe ,but I left it go with the camper and I don't remember how it was made.
A friend showed me his set up yesterday.
I got some pipe and made one today.
1/2 inch pipe and tees, 3/4 inch pipe and tees, one length of 4 inch sewer pipe and 4 hairpin clips. takes about 1 hour.
The first picture is my friends setup in use yesterday and the next three are of the one I just built.

Looks like a nice set up, where will you store it when traveling?

When I made my sewer hose storage system from vinyl fence post I used vinyl rain gutter for the pull out. I don’t remember the length the rain gutter came in but I had a substantial length of leftover that I just put under the pull out so I ended up with two lengths if I ever need them. I have only use it once but I just bungeed one end to the trailer and ran the other out to where it needed to go. It was ridged enough not to need support. I usually bring along some small lengths of 2X4 that have come in handy a number of times. If I ever needed to use both lengths of rain gutter I would probably need them for support. I have pics of this modification in my albums.

Stores really small, and works really well. http://www.amazon.com/Camco-43041-Si.../dp/B0006IX7Y2

The ells that are close together at the bottom of the units aren't glued so when you want to put them away it all folds down. I store them in the old sewer hose storage in the back bumper. I have a fence post for the actual hose so I don't need that space anymore.
