Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention pertains to a detachable sewer house storage unit that houses a sewer hose that is made for recreational vehicles that store sewage.

BACKGROUND

The inventor of the present invention is an avid outdoorsman that owns a recreational vehicle.

During his travels, the most disgusting item he handles is the sewer hose that he stores in his recreational vehicle.

Not only is the handling a disgusting task, but the stowage of the sewer hose is another complication.

Often, the sewer hose is stored alongside items that should never be near the sewer hose.

Presently, some campers have taken to place the sewer hoses within the rear bumpers of campers. This is normally done by taking the end of a rear recreational vehicle camper and pushing the sewer hose into the bumper. As can be understood, this leads to the uncomfortable task of having to handle the sewer hose extensively and in turn dirtying oneself with sewage. Another complication with this practice is that, more often than not, sewage spills into the body of the bumper and thereby causes a bumper to rust from within while simultaneously also growing unwanted and harmful bacteria.

The inventor of the present invention has conceived an emergency storage sewer bumper hitch that not only will store the sewer hose, the invention will also provide a solar powered emergency warning device that will alert others of when the vehicle is disabled.

The present invention solves the needs of storing a sewer hose in a semi-hygienic manner in a recreational vehicle, while also providing the recreational vehicle with a solar powered safety feature.

SUMMARY

The present invention is directed to a bumper storage compartment hitch that houses a sewer hose, the detachable sewer house storage unit is attached to a recreational vehicle. The detachable sewer house storage unit comprises a rectangular housing that has an open upper section, the rectangular housing has a central hitch that extends perpendicularly outward from a central rear section of the rectangular housing, the rectangular housing defines a drain on a bottom section of the rectangular housing. A rectangular door that is pivotally attached to the open upper section of the rectangular housing. And, a drain plug that is removably attached to the drain.

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the detachable sewer house storage unit further comprises of a solar panel that is attached to an upper side of the rectangular door. A controller that is housed within the rectangular housing, the controller is operatively connected to the solar panel. A battery that is housed within the rectangular housing, the battery is operatively connected to the controller. And, a light that is attached to a lower side of the rectangular door, the light is operatively connected to the controller.

An object of the present invention is to provide a sewer hose storage device that is attached to a recreational vehicle.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a detachable sewer house storage unit that can serve as an emergency warning device that is solar powered.
