Front storage organization

X2 what soundguy said.

Door side has all those things I use while camping. Chairs, weiner sticks, pie makers, maul, etc....

Backside is where I keep "set up" material. Hose, blocks, chocks, etc... After setting up, I toss my hitch/WDH bars in there, so they are out of the weather.

The middle has a bunch of odds and ends that I might need, but probably not, yet for some reason I feel the need to take them.

I added a piece of carpet to mine. Helps to keep things from sliding around. Hopefully is protecting the tile from damage.

IMO drawers are a terrible waste of valuable space. Our current Freedom Express is a small 19' model yet features a HUGE front pass through storage compartment along with further storage under the queen bed.



On the curb side I store all our campsite related gear where it's readily accessible ...



On the street side is all my trailer set up gear as I'm the only one dealing with this stuff ...



There so much space I even store my spare tire in there. :) I learned a long time ago to avoid large bins or anything I have to pull and lift out of the compartment. Instead I have one large shallow plastic pan that never moves and simply corrals a few setup items like chocks, preventing them from rolling around, and one open box that holds all my spare Lynx. The air pump and waste macerator pump each live in their own small storage box or bag, tucked away where space is available as they're not often needed. Spare water hose and extra main service cable live in the well of the spare tire, again because it's otherwise wasted space and aren't often needed. That's it - K.I.S.S.

There are some kits out there you can buy and install to make a drawyer that will slide out from the front cargo access door. Problem with those however is that they are bulky and the typical travel trailer has a small cargo access door which limits the amount of space you can use.

We use totes...flat ones for hoses, etc., taller ones for dog food and various other items in the storage area. Even the hitch will fit in a tote with the bars removed. I slip an old pair of crew socks over the ends of the bars to keep the grease off of places it shouldn't be.
