Pass Thru

This is curbside of my new to me Passport 199ML...Not as big or high as Toy Hauler and can't fit everything in there.

Our pass through is:
(from drivers side to passenger side)
wheel chocks(2), wood blocks(3), water hose, sewer hose support, grill, wood blocks(5), lynx blocks, wheel chocks, small misc items

I use my 2 pass through areas to store long things like my bike, ladder, table, and fishing rods. I use the other compartments for the storage bins.

The pass through on my previous TT was also small, so I used low profile tubs. The new TT has much taller and bigger pass throughs, so I don't bother with the tubs. Also now have a large storage area below the lower bunk where I can store my hoses, campchairs and the Aussie BBQ grill.

Unfortunately the moron designers for mine built a nice size pass tough, but forgot to include decent sized baggage doors making the space not very user friendly… because of this I found duffel bags with ample side pockets the easiest thing to use for organizing things… the pockets work great for separating and storing small plumbing and electrical parts and supplies, with bigger items in the main compartment… the bag makes it easier to get in and out of the small sized baggage doors…

I have three outside storage areas on our new-to-us camper, a 2011 Grey Wolf 28BH.

The rear storage area is great, since it's under the lower bunk in the back. Nice big space, easy to get to. The driver side storage is relatively smaller, under the couch.

The front storage, where most have a full pass-thru, is only on one side. For whatever reason the water heater is on the other side. Never seen that before!

I'm looking at making that storage some sort of bins-on-a-rope system (excuse the technical terminology, LOL), where I can shove them back in there but be able to get them back out. I'll keep you guys posted.

Here are some pics of mine. Had it all out and cleaning/organizing getting ready for a week long trip next starting weekend and remembered this thread so I thought I would take a few pics.

Here is the driver side pass through with the Sterlite containers I was telling you about earlier in this post. They are 41 quart size. Long and flat similar to something you would use under a bed for storage. I have 5 of them and put my yard mat on top of the side with two of them. A little room in the middle to stuff skinny items (like my hose and hotdog forks) to prevent any shifting.



This is the passenger side pass through. Extension cord on the Rubbermaid rack, Weber Q in the door, couple of bags of wood for stab jacks on the right with my Coleman stove on top of that. On the left, there are a couple of Coleman propane lanterns, a 3 ton floor jack for flat tires and in the middle a large tote with all my propane bottles (about 6, grilling utensils, propane adapter for hooking to a 20lb) with a collapsible trash can on it .

camping lantern, water noodles, other seldome used stuff up under the bed, which is technically part of the passthrough. Lawn Chairs in the middle accessible from the 'front' side. Big plastic bin with misc. stuff I use in the 'front' side in front of the lawn chairs, plus dish pans, propane bottles, carpet that goes out 'front',etc. All that stuff comes out when I first set up, the big plastic tub gets slid under the front of the trailer, giving access to everything else. on the 'back' side, I have hot dog forks, my BAL X-Chock, two 7 gallon water jugs, the stand-up sign with our name on it, etc. Once I am set up, the pass through is nearly empty and I keep dirty dishes (rinsed off) in there till I'm ready to wash dishes.

I had a camper with one of those pass thru drawers in it. It was handy and surprisingly sturdy. There is some space wasted as you can not put as much in the drawer as you could stack in bins,but it is easier to get to. Last year we got another camper that has a pass thru and I am still organizing it. Looking forward to seeing everyones ideas.
