Today I wanted to add storage to the RV. It's not massive storage but very functional for what we needed. This will help us store a few of the Essential RV Drain accessories and keep them out of the way but accessible when we need them.

You should have patented it and sold it as a kit with the storage tubes! Love your ideas😂

@slngblde Год назад

I use ammo cans extensively for storage in my class a. Everything from tools and parts to well.. ammo. I would use 1/4” bolts instead of the screws. Most screws break pretty easily

@Doh1962 7 дней назад

Did that 4 years ago with 40mm Mk19 ammo cans on my Forest River travel trailer. Actually had 5 of them mounted and they carried everything from x-chocks, dunnage, power cables, dump tank fittings, and water hoses. I actually have a 50 cal can my fifth wheel now mounted by the dump port that I keep the final 90 and donut in. You can go on line and order a stud that has a padlock hole that you install and you can padlock the ammo can closed.

DUDE! You're killin' me! Just got home last Sat from a 4 day jaunt in the trailer. I kept the trailer in my driveway specifically so I could accomplish a few more modifications that I didn't get to last season when our trailer was brand new. Just finally installed a weBoost cell service amplifier, set up a new griddle, and completed a few other things and TODAY was my day to run the trailer back to my storage facility until next Tuesday when we launch on another 3 day get-away. NOW THIS! I was just brainstorming this very subject on Saturday morning when I was breaking camp down but didn't come up with any great solution to separate out the waste components. This is perfect and I have the components in my garage. So, TOMORROW is trailer return day so I can get my bass boat back home so I can hit the lake asap! Thanks! 👍

@522Shelby Год назад

Wow that is pretty genius Jared. At first I thought the hinge should be facing the other way, but I get it now and it opens out of the way. Well done!

@paulvanderborgt5581 Год назад

Also, these hinges allow the lid to slide off. If it were the other way, every time you opened it the lid would fall/slide off.

@davidmejia7908 Год назад

Dude! This is perfect! I did replace my hose holder with an 8ft section of vinyl fence and used the existing holes to mount it to the frame, that way I can keep 2 sections in one spot. I am going to use the ammo box idea too, thanks!

@kevinplunkett6393 Год назад

One of the best mods I did years ago. Makes it so easy to get to the fittings. I went with a slightly deeper ammo can. Yes drill a few small holes as moisture builds inside.

@timad7c2 Год назад

A suggestion: place a small container of desiccant out of the way in one of the corners to keep moisture at bay.

@robertkoch2545 Год назад

I had the same problem and solved it by mounting a battery box on top of the bumper. It is the perfect size to hold all of my connectors an donuts for needed for waste removal and keeps them away from everything else.

@marktocci6171 11 месяцев назад

Jared, this was a great idea. Thanks for sharing it. I also added an ammo can on each side just forward to the axles and use that to store by wheel chocks. This makes them very handy when needed and I don't have to worry about putting dirty wheel chocks in my storage compartments.

@RedSiBaron Год назад

YO! this is fantastic, you just solved so many problems for me. We just picked up a small jayco x17z, and it has quite a lot of storage for the size, but only a very very small exterior door and it's on the opposite corner from tank drains, so I had to either use a bag for all the drain stuff, or find a bin that could somehow fit through the door and hold this stuff. Guess I'll be mounting one of these over there for my gross stuff. THANKS!

@RVTIPSANDTRAVELS Год назад

Such a great mod Jared, thanks for sharing! The only thing I would add is on non-metal cans add flat metal braces inside the can that connected at the screws to keep equal pressure across the can against the frame. Keep them coming!

@KZ-xj4tt Год назад

Did this two years ago. Cheap solution for storage.

@paulzedeck7448 Год назад

Good Idea but I think the weak link in the installation is the screws. Or not sealing them from the elements. Water or moisture will find a way into that box to frame connection and start to corrode. Some silicon or other sealant on the back side where the screws poke through the frame would be a good idea to extend the life of the mod.

@WillBelden Год назад

The nice thing, though, is that it's cheap enough to replace if becomes a problem! :)

@cisco1dog Год назад

@@WillBeldenhow about the frame?

@WillBelden Год назад

@@cisco1dog Not sure those i-beams would rust out in what's left of MY lifetime. I'm no metallurgist, though!

@cisco1dog Год назад

@@WillBelden maybe not, but having been a large truck technician and then field engineer, we never put holes in a frame without preparing it for the possibility of rust. The frame isn’t where you want to encourage rust. Some paint or petroleum based preparation would not take any longer and would insure the can and frame were secure.

@WillBelden Год назад

@@cisco1dog Sounds like excellent advice, and you're right -- wouldn't take but a few seconds to seal up nicely!

I've got a compartment in the rear that I keep the power cord, adapters, hoses and flush equipment. I keep all those things in a container (enclosed w/ lid), but I just might have to look into doing this same setup (as well as finally mounting the hose holder under there too).

@k-mparker Год назад

Gr8 idea!!! Wish the RV industry would come up with some external storage solutions in the back end of these coaches. I know theres several on the market that are bigger, but the price tag is around $600 and they are dust and water collectors. Several different sizes on both sides as options for your needs would be ideal for storing miscellaneous items as you perfectly articulated and did! Winner winner seafood dinner!!! 👍😃🍻

@stevewainwright3344 Год назад

Yep, I did that 12 years ago. The tube that held my sewer hose wasn't big enought to hold my Rhino sewer hose because of the right angle connector on the end of the hose. So I took 4 eight foot cedar fence pickets and cut them to 6 and a half foot. then glue and screwed them together. I cut the left orver pieces to make and end and a hinged door for the other end and put L brackets on it, then painted it to protect it. then mounted it to the underside of the rig where the old sewer hose tube use to be. I also made a box to hold my 15 ft. telescoping ladder under the 5th wheel. Having to reach down to my ankles to grab that ladder on the back on the rig while it was shaking was a less than safe way to get down. Now I just climb up the telescoping ladder an step off on to the roof and step back on to the ladder to get down. Sooooo much easier.😊
