So how do those of you with a filling station do it? I just bought an '06 PlayMor Sport 3612 this past weekend, and the hose, nozzle & pump are in a compartment on the passenger side about two feet behind the rear axle. Well of course the bottom of the compartment is just expanded metal, and any & all junk or road spray from the tires gets in there. I haven't used it yet, but I'm going to clean it all out this weekend, and I'd like it to stay clean. Thinking about maybe a mudflap behind that rear tire, or wrapping a garbage bag around the hose & nozzle.
Any other ideas or solutions?

I just got one of those rubber caps like ironing boards use for feet and stick it on the end of the nozzle. The rest can get dirty.

+1 for nozzlecondom.com

I like their NozzleMit. It's not an easy fit, but it keeps the whole thing nice & clean. Too bad the boys & WW misplaced mine when they fixed my pump.

Use a water bottle. The 16.9 oz fits perfect over the nozzle. Its cheap, it works, and you have a container to start your campfires with.

Use a cheap motorcycle grip $10 for two. This will give one for later or a friend.

I've been using the same condom for about 3 years now. Works great.
