- spoon059Explorer IIMine go underneath the bed in the front cargo area. When I arrive, they are clean and dry... ready for my tail to be sat down in it!!!
- DutchmenSportExplorerOurs goes in the trailer. We have a nice spot they fit just perfect beside the couch and wall. We have several folding-in-a-bag type that we keep in the pass through.
Previous trailer, we always traveled with the big chairs on the bed. Never an issue.
I tried a few times carrying them in the bed of the truck. With my shell, everything stays dry. But, I've got so much other stuff in the bed of the truck, its' just much easier stowing them in the trailer.
I've never transported them outside the camper. - dave54NomadI do not bungee anything on the outside of my rig or in the truck bed. I use cargo straps and secure hard points.
Too many years loading cargo in aircraft. Things can come loose and shift in flight ruining your day.
I have personally observed a class A in front of me do an emergency brake and swerve, and the kids bikes bungeed on the roof went flying. Fortunately to the side of the road, not toward me. The driver kept going, he never noticed. - Bucky_BadgerExplorerours go between the bed and the wall, or just on the bed if i'm lazy
- PawPaw_n_GramExplorerI hate the bag type chairs, so ours take a bit more room. They are last in/ first out of the TT and that works very well.
Sometimes they only come out as far as going under the dinette slide, but it works for us. - Golden_HVACExplorerI always carried my chairs inside my camper, and when I had a class C, I would put them in the shower.
My class A Bounder had plenty of room inside the front basement storage compartment, it was one of the major features that steered us away from a Southwind Stormy to the slightly more expensive Bounder.
In motorhomes made before 1980, it was very common to store a lot of stuff in the shower during transit. Basement storage really opened things up!
Fred. - Community AlumniOur's go either in the trailer outside storage or in the truck box depending upon what else we're bringing.
- GoostoffExplorerOurs are stashed in the very fron compartment under the fith wheel overhang. We have 12 chairs, 3 tents, bean bag boards and 10 fishing pole stashed in there.
My grill goes in the basement and takes up the whole basement with just enough room for my 200 feet of garden hose, and a few tools. - rockhillmanorExplorerRV Bike rack that attaches to square bumper.
Best thing I have ever put on the RV. Not for bikes but for anything you need to carry! I carry 4 lawn chairs and 2 expens for the dogs on this rack. The two arms that come out for the bikes makes a perfect hanging device for chairs and pens tied back to the uprights.
RV bumper rack for bikes and expens
It's actually designed to also carry a spare tire also. Like this.
But I use the space to store the big colossal cooler!
And I threw away all my bungees and ratchet straps and use these wire/rubber ties for anything I need to tie down to the RV.
twist and stay - dalenoelExplorer IIUnder the bed or in the bed of the truck under the cover. Last in and first out. I've even had some that needed to be on edge alongside the bed. Don't need that space until we sleep.
