Generator storage compartment question

[Happycamperscolorado]

Don't plan on putting a Generator in the front storage compartment. Was curious what folks are using their storage for? I know there are slots in the base of the compartment and thought that would be a good place for sewer and water hoses. Any ideas on dividing this space up? Anyone have any pics to

Have to get my rv reloaded after trading in TT.


Thanks

Store my Weber Q barbecue the propane tank for it, my tool box and most of our outdoor decorations. I put a plywood "floor" in it in order to do this.

It is an unheated area so consider only articles you're not concerned about freezing. I put both my (2) small Honda portable generators in there plus a small compressor and an additional battery. We have a separate area in our Montana for the sewer hose. Whatever you store in that area will distribute more weight to the hitch, so if that is a concern, you need to consider that.

I have an air compressor and most of my solar equipment in this compartment. This includes 3000 watt inverter and charge controller for solar panels... I moved my sewer hose ect. under trailer in new storage tubes

Hi,
I made some tubes with PVC Pipe, many use lighter weight stuff, which is fine, I keep a nifty collapsible 8' step ladder in one, and sewer hose on the other.
I have my battery bank up in the storage area with wire shelving up above to store other things. The older I get, the less I like to stoop and retrieve things from that compartment.
As you use the 5er more, things will come to you.

I put electrical cables, satellite tripods, etc. hoses. anything that will not freeze. I use to put my generator there, but now keep it in the truck bed.

I installed a wall of 3/4 inch plywood up next to the 2 12 volt batteries so nothing I put in the storage area could fall into the battery and oil tank area. BBQ stand and propane tank, sewer hose containers go in the storage area.

Tackle box, tool box, case of water, empties (we have a bottle bill), and all the cleaners, lubes, waxes and garage-type stuff when traveling. Mostly clean it all out when winterizing.

We carry our Honda generator, and things that might pick up dirt/sand such as lawn & bag chairs, entry rug, patio mats, awning sun screen, bottle jack, jack stands, and tow strap. Put Gorilla tape over the floor slits to keep out rain spray when traveling. Will later reorganize for solar and battery bank. Use a divider between the two doors to keep stuff from accidentally sliding over to electrical, hydraulics, and batteries. We have tried many different ways to load up the storage compartments. Sometimes have to think to remember where something is stored after rearranging all that storage space. Have fun.

Before we went solar we kept our BBQ grill and accessories up there. Sewer hose is under the rig in a PVC corner post and the piece used most frequently is in a walmart container in the basement with caps on both ends. Now our six 6v batteries and the invertor and solar controllers occupy that space.

I use the space to hide things I buy, from my wife!

AHHHHH a Generator of coarse(portable) and lawn chairs and that's it ,I don't like clutter

[JandC]

I don't like bending over and getting under there to open the door, so I keep all the stuff I don't need that often up there, like my wash buckets, grill, extra water hoses, air compressor, wet vac, etc..

Have four T-105s, our second sewer hose, a big bottle jack, wood shims, sewer hose support & a bunch of other misc. stuff.

It varies depending if it is a summer trip out west or down to the RGV for 5 months.

I have a short pin box and when connected to the truck I can only open either compartments only part way. Thus what goes in there is things I do not need when traveling.

This trip south I have the Brinkman Smoker, the Weber gas grill, 20# LP bottle, Weber Charcoal grill, couple large bags of charcoal, folding table for grills, 5 gal bucket full of wash stuff, and a couple of small stack-able boxes of "stuff", 2 boxes of wood chunks for smoker.

I store my two Honda 2000i's and the 6 gal tank that feeds them. Everything fits perfect!

[tweber502]

I keep a plastic 6 drawer storage thingy that holds all of my tools, fittings, coax cables etc., a gal. of antifreeze and a gal. of oil for the truck, 4 ton bottle jack, sewer hose (RhinoFlex with end caps so no leaking), air compressor & all my wash/auto detail stuff. Also keep my Pyroclaw log grabber up there. Tim
