Storage Area Info Sharing - CC experts
Yahoo Message Number: 89696
I figure those of you that have spent more times with your CC's, may have uncovered additional storage areas within the different models and years of coaches. Looking for tips on places to consider:)!
We have a 2004 Allure 40' High Cascade model. I've found two areas I use for storage, that may not be normally considered.
1) In the bay that accesses the dual fuel filters, I've added Velcro strips to the bottom of the compartment, and the other side to the bottom of a plastic tub. I carry two extra of each fuel filter in this tub, total of four. (Tub has never moved once, with the two strips of two inch wide Velcro holding it place. I keep the filters wrapped in their shrink plastic, and also have a top on the container.) Easy to remove the container when needing to access the compartment.
2) Washer drum wine storage:)! When we start off on a trip, we stock up on vino. We have two or three storage areas within the coach for these wines. One of them was to lay layers of towels in the Washer's drum, and easily carry up to a case of wine. We hit these wines first, and usually have them consumed before needing to do a load of wash... If not, we pull then out and place the on a counter for awhile.
SPECIFIC QUESTION ON STORAGE
I miss the old under the bed storage area of our old Bounder. We've looked under out Allure's bed, and see what we think is space that could be used for some storage. Was wondering if anyone had used the space not needed by the slide mechanism for storage? (I would build something to keep things from shifting around while driving.) Any opinions on if this is a bad idea, would be welcomed. I also would look into adding some 'strong assist lifts shocks' to the bed, as dang it is heavy to lift:)!
HOW ABOUT IT? What other areas have some of you found for storage, that may be shared? (I keep eye balling the electric/compressor area in the cabinet under the drivers seat, as lots of open space... Thinking of a shelf that can hold a basket for storage of items not used very often. The basket and shelf would be one that could be easily removed to access the normal mechanical purples of this cabinet.
One other area I'm going to tap into, is the LP area. Liked the recent thread on a different board about mounting large PVC Pipe or Plastic Fence Posts. The folding ladders seem to fit in the Fence Posts holders for many coaches.
Thanks for any info sharing, and please be sure to specify the normal year and model info, but also the sub model such as 'Newport', 'High Cascade", etc., etc. - as the layouts are of course different between these sub models.
