Saw this mod on another forum, and finished installing it on my trailer last week. Love the gutter slide, as it makes it so easy to manuever the hoses in and out of the post. Took the trailer out for the maiden voyage this weekend and it worked great! I did make a couple of small changes to the plan (for instance, I bought a post with holes on one side so that air circulates around the hoses while driving down the road to dry out the gear in between camp sites).
