To bad Keystone isn't as generous with the outside storage as they are inside. We have more cabinet space than the two of us will ever use. On the other hand, outside storage is at a premium. I was looking for ways to get around shuffling stuff and securing it while traveling so I decided to convert one of the King dinette drawers for tools and spare parts storage. DW uses the other drawer to store extra drinks and bottle water. Entire project took around an hour, and is put together with pocket hole screws. While I had it out, I found a rear wheel on the back that serves as a glide that had been put on with only one screw, so I secured it ith the two other screws that should have been put on in manufacture.

I found a guy who makes custom size Diamond tread aluminum boxes so he's making me one that's going to live on the bumper of the trailer. It's going to house the air compressor and the treated plywood stabilizing jack pads that I built, three thicknesses of 3/4" plywood with a rope handle to make carrying easy. I have eight of those babies. I do have a lot of space in the front pass through, but I'm only putting light items up there, hoses, cords, etc., because I'm towing with a 1/2 ton truck and I want to keep the tongue weight down to save on payload.
