A vacuum hose system has a tray assembly and a hose. The tray assembly is made of a first tray defining a plurality of first tray cavity surface portions, a middle tray defining a plurality of first middle cavity surface portions and a plurality of second middle cavity surface portions, and a second tray defining a plurality of second tray cavity surface portions. The first tray engages the middle tray to define a first portion of a storage chamber. The second tray engages the middle tray portion to define a second portion of the storage chamber. First and second reference planes extending through the first and second portions of the storage chamber are offset from each other. When the hose is in a stored position, at least part of the hose lies in each of the first and second portions of the storage chamber.
