Mr. Wolf,
I plan on running both front and rear drain tubes to the front of the bed through the plastic bed plugs (combining the hoses near the bed plug). I just don't want to cut into my bed. Do you think this will work out?
I think it could be done that way. As I noted before, the tubing is a weird size and material. It is about 0.95" OD and 0.70" ID and it is neither vinyl nor rubber . As the pic shows, it does stretch enough to fit on a 3/4" barb fitting. You could use 3/4" barb tees up front and then get some 3/4" ID vinyl tubing from the hardware store. You may have to use hose clamps to get the vinyl tubing to stay on the barb fittings that are in the side rails as they may be slightly small. I do not have any vinyl tubing to check the fittings on the side rails. Just make sure the tubes from the back have slope and no flat spots where water would collect.
