RV How To: Lippert Underchassis Storage Compartment

To add some needed storage space to our Kodiak, I installed one of the Lippert underchassis storage compartments. This will be used for non critical accessories that will not hurt to be stored outside like sewer hose connections, water hoses, chocks, leveling ramps, and extension cords. This will free up some pass-through cargo storage for other things such as outdoor cookware. I'll show you how I installed this on out Kodiak. I had to make some 1 inch thick spacers in order to clear the metal gas line that's bolted to the bottom of out frame.

Great idea. I would be conscious of the lid staying closed when underway as the wind and vibration might allow them to pop open.

@bertkelly7650 Год назад

Sorry, I sound like I'm cheap, but I am retired. $900? With your ability, you could make something similar. Thanks for showing the install!

@urbanosity Год назад

I’ve seen this product and thought it was great, but also agree it’s overpriced for what it is.

@tomdelaney8579 5 месяцев назад

Great to put all the dump hoses and parts

@longcaster Год назад

Adam, in the '60's-'70's those underbelly storage were called "opossum belly" cause you know opossums have a belly pouch to keep their tiny newborns.

@Jays1ndone Год назад

11:09 😂 “can I put some shoes in their?” No, this is a man space, not an extra closet for more shoes 😂

@dirkkelly9596 Год назад

Nice solution for a little extra storage. Have a safe and happy trip,always learn a lot from your videos 👍👍

@nedj10 Год назад

When you drill the drain holes I suspect if you cover the holes with the plastic scotch bright knock off cleaning pads that most grocery stores sell would allow water to drain while acting as splash guard to help protect from road water.

@robbiedrummond4513 Год назад

They look very handy!

@erichoff7926 Год назад

Cut it twice and it still too short!😃 I am sure you and Abby will enjoy the trailer mods. I ordered one of the sewer hose tubes you showed on the video.

@markmidkiff7048 Год назад

I like it. But you would think for the price, the bins would have a locking clasp and be a little more waterproof

@PhilG999 Год назад

I hear ya about the "forklift squirrels"! I have two certs and I've never squished anything. In a past job I once got a 100-gal tank back under "Warranty" that had a forklift tine punched through one side. No freebie for YOU! 🤣

@ifish5409 Год назад

That’s a great mod. Perfect for hoses and cords. I think I’ll add that to my 5th wheel.

@Phantom0309 Год назад

Make sense to have the equipment you need for setting up right to hand, especially if its outdoor/dirty to keep it from other indoor/cleaner items! Another great modification

@tmtex 4 месяца назад

Almost 1K. I could probably make something which you already have my wheels thinking. Good idea for all the water/sewer stuff

@blakecrawford5101 Год назад

Hopefully you got some kind of credit back on those bins! Love the system, it’s gonna free up so much storage space.

@georgeescaped6035 Год назад

some sort of stainless bar going across the whole unit bin and side steel with a lock to keep bins from walking away when your not around?

@mazchen Год назад

Great idea, you can never have too much storage. Considering the price of that system those boxes look awfully rough and basic! I'd weld a bar across the rails to keep the lid shut when pushed back and instead of the pins use a through axle with one large end and a padlock on the other.

@rogerespinoza9367 Год назад

Are you planning on welding a flat bar across the top since the lids seem to be able to be opened when pushed all the way back? Seems like the wind may catch it driving down the road and open them up.

@2121buster Год назад

Nice... hope you post a follow up

@arc2226 Год назад

Thanks for the video, quite helpful. I've got the large storage boxes on the way. Don from Florida

@jcorbett63 Год назад

I'd cement nylon window screen over your holes in your box to keep bugs out.

@byronglover7998 Год назад

Pretty cool storage. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences with us.

@luck1214 Год назад

LOL! You Got Me right There 8:01

@1kyra1977 3 месяца назад

I would have clamped it to the frame with an i beam clamp on both sides, add rubber window seal around the edge of that door and place a locking hitch bar on the opposite side of that where the lock pin is. I would also cover that lock pin with a door knob lockout to make it secure. Probably do it myself with a different drawer and slide but thanks for the video it got me thinking!

@DAKOTANSHELBY Год назад

My Keystone Outback 328RL needs that undercarriage storage solution. The model I have has very little storage room. I might try searching for one that is more impervious to water though. My outback does have its spare suspended from underneath. Those spare tires mounted on the bumpers can cause thousands in damage to fiberglass if you accidently back it into something. Thanks for the great suggestions and have a great Big Haul trip you and dear Abby.

@jameskim62 Год назад

NICE INSTALLATION !!!!!!!!!!

@gijoecam Год назад

For the price they charge, it should be WAY better designed. They have a few huge misses on these. The lids should be designed to shed water, not funnel it into the box. Either the pins should be lockable, or the rails should be lockable to keep the bins from growing legs. (Seems like a notch in the edge of the bin with a lock thru the slide rail would work.) The boxes should have drain holes with baffles to let water out but not in. (Condensation or having them open in the rain). A- for the concept, C+ for execution.

@bullboss7698 9 месяцев назад

No way I would pay that kind of money for 2 little plastic bins.

@kckettridge 8 месяцев назад

Everything is overpriced today. It's ridiculous!!!

@tray22 Месяц назад

@@kckettridge I just got some of those really tall ammo cans and welded tabs on to bolt it directly onto the frame. They are water tight and hold a lot.

@huggmeister Год назад

Great job sir. Might try a couple of these on my bus conversion, could really use the extra space. Thanks for the video.....

@darrylm3627 4 месяца назад

😀👍Great Tips

@royreynolds108 Год назад

This one could also be used besides the bigger model so you would have both under the trailer. More storage.

@MrRobpotestio Год назад

Installed my set of full length drawers like this 2 years ago. Absolutely luv them. Keep all sewer fittings in small plastic boxes and the power cord w/ surge protector, inside the the drivers side. The other side I keep 2 patio carpets and the wheel chocks, x-chocks in that side. They do collect some water when it rains. Drill Drain holes in several locations inside the drawers. Very beefy and durable product. One thing to consider is the overall heigth. These are 10 .5 inches high so ground clearance is something to consider. Place them as close to the axles as possible to avoid scraping. Otherwise, a very good investment!

@terrygrimwood8217 Год назад

worried that you might have a problem been a diesel Mechanic for 30 years and it it a major no no to drill the frame flanges u may want to check with your oem on this u can weld them

@jeremybrown7475 Год назад

Why not put the xl one next to this one for more storage?

@AbomAdventures Год назад

That’s what I may end u doing. I may have just enough room.

@RobDeHaven Год назад

It will be interesting to see how these work when you are driving in the rain for a long time. Wonder how much water will get in them. Cool idea tho to free up your front storage box.

@trainznstuff3512 Год назад

The marker light on the right side has some water in it.

@corydriver7634 Год назад

I like the idea but I don’t think I’d have excepted delivery on it due to the damage. I wonder if you could have weld something up of aluminum for not much more money.

@orrinkelso9295 11 месяцев назад

What is up with shipping? I needed a new dishwasher. Ordered from Costco. First 2 were damaged in shipping. 2 out of 3 is not a good average! If you care at all about doing good work, it is not that hard to move stuff around without damaging it!

thanks for the video, thumbs up! After watching this i would never buy this expensive trash. 900 bucks and they dont even seal from dust or water.

@jameswood9764 Год назад

Drill a hole thru the front corner rail and tub machine a pin with hole in one end to install a lock for a little bit of security from theft?

@justjenkinaround5116 Год назад

Can you share the purchase link for the drill bits? Excellent video.

@AbomAdventures Год назад

I got them KBC Tools & Machinery. It's the Vortex drill set.

@robertbosojr Год назад

Holes in it are gone to allow water to suck up in it going down road in rain will fill with water it will drain back out but will be soaked for sure

@belindabaxter2746 Год назад

Those are cool bits if they required sharpening would you just grind the angle or is there a special sharpener for them?

@timskiff9422 Год назад

Looks kind of flimsy

@Jarhead68 Год назад

Nice addition. How have they held up and is there anything you would have done differently. Wanting to install on my 22mle for more storage.

@AbomAdventures Год назад

These work great! I’d like to upgrade to the larger version to give more storage.

@gregorysmith3097 Год назад

@@AbomAdventures Any reason that you couldn't install the larger in addition to this set? Or is there not enough room under the rig for both?

did you bolt the center bracket? or just on each end?

Do they come with a drain hole and you might want to zip tie the lead shut so it doesn’t flap in the wind
