storage shortage no more

my old tt had front and back under deck storage soooo i was faced with a daunting task of getting all my stuff into the one front storage.
so on one side i installed a shelf with a back lip to store all the cooking pie and hotdog sticks ax and cranks... you know THAT STUFF THAT DOSENT FIT ANY PLACE.

then on the other side i made a sliding/hanging bracket to hold our tote that we put power cords,tools,small stuff that ya gotta have.



now we have all the room we hade before and then some.

Nice work! I need to do something similar for our shovel and broom. Plan on hanging them from basement ceiling.

I've seen people use PVC Pipes mounted to the frame under the camper for Fishing rods and reels with great success. Much like you would do for a stinky slinky. Maybe a 4" or 6" pipe so it's big enough to allow the rod to be stored without removing the reel. End caps with some sort of lock clasp.

Fishing pole storage

I use two inch velcro strips that I snapped to the top of the wall in a bedroom and sandwich rods every 3 inches down the velcro strips. Poles hang out of the way and are easily accessible

I have the storage compartment that goes all the way through in the front of my camper, so on the the front wall of that I used the removable 3M hooks for each of the poles. works great and can always move them.

Without getting into the wife/husband relationships of anyone on this forum, one of the easiest ways to store crank handles, fire ring tripod stands, etc is with broom and mop clips. They are available at any hardware store, WalMart, Lowe's, Home Depot, etc. Just screw them into the wall (in a place with backing board strong enough to support them) clip the handles into the spring loaded clip and forget them until you need them. Safe, secure and out of the way.

Here's a picture of a clip to illustrate what they look like.

My wife thinks the same thing. I'm thinking of measuring & taping a nice rectangle under each bench seat side, cutting carefully and finding some similar trim, stained to match, as trim to cover the cut hole. Add a couple hinges and you have yourself a door. I thought of hinging the door up and adding some G1S plywood on the floor, on drawer slides so the contents slide out while you hold the door out of the way.

I ordered 2 doors from the outside kitchen and a second door that matches the 1 under the sink they showed up yesterday the outside kitchen doors are a perfect fit for under the seat 35 dollars each and I will put the other large door on the back side of the sink by the front door so I can access the large space behind the sink.
That door was 37 dollars.
