Storage Bins, Rubbermaid, etc.

We use Lotz of totes. Measure your storage space then at the store set up and measure various sizes till you find a mix that will fit. Easy cheap and neat storage. If they walk away the most your out is maybe ten dollars

We use two Rubbermaid action packers. I leave at least one of them out at the campground and have never had a problem with them walking off. You might put a bungee cord on the lids. I did have trouble with the lids fitting tight after a few years.

Check out Costco and there 22 gallon black and yellow "construction" containers.... only 8 bucks and change. I have a few of the action packers and those a great but these are a GREAT deal.

That said, I would seriously think about adopting a backpacker mindset and reduce the amount of "stuff".

Those Costco containers do have slots along the sides for locks/cables.

also beware of the raccoons! they have the lids, and the latches for most stuff already figured out!
Then.....there is the BEARS! Those lil critters will tear apart a soft container like cheese. And... like grass thru a goose make your life a mess.

The Costco idea is excellent, will look at that. If the containers I choose don't have a latch I will bungee for sure. No bears where we are going, but raccoons for sure. Never seen them, but don't doubt the plan.

The campground I will be at is far enough away that the clientele is pretty decent....I will be at the low end of the scale with my old S & S.

Good info all, thanks

I agree on downsizing, when I solo camp, everything I need goes on or into my Ultra Classic HD. Problem for me now is I am still downsizing from a 32' Jayco quad bunk with an 11' slide, and those cool maxi doors in the back. We could camp 11 people for a couple of weeks with that outfit. But I am really liking the floorplan on the S & S, just have to really plan well for a week out. Just me and one grandkid for the first few days, but by the 4th, it will be 8 or 9 folks.

found this on a quick look thru:
Centrex Plastics 27 Gallon Construction Grade Tote at Costco for about 11.00.
Specs:
•27 gallon capacity
•Dimensions: 30.5"L x 20.125"W x 14.25"H
•Reinforced lid
•Padlock holes for locking
•Stackable
•Raised bottom
•Made in USA
•Black with yellow lid


It does not appear to be waterproof. No seals or such, but that isn't what I was looking for.

If you don't have a Costco account, they also sell them at Home Depot. The ones at Lowes are of inferior quality than the ones at HD, I've had both, and I currently have three under the RV for kids toys and never had any issues.

I'll just add to make sure you look UNDER the handles where it clips on to the bottom on whatever plastic tubs you decide to buy!

I did not.:(

I had 2 storage tubs that where in the aisle when traveling and placed outside when parked for more than the night.

All went well traveling up North THEN I came South. And found bugs inside the tubs. That then got into my RV.

What I found is On some plastic tubs there are holes drilled into the tub under the handle on the bottom part of the tub. :S

The southern bugs just walked right inside my tubs thru the holes in under the handles.

The amount of stuff we bring is related to the number of people. What are you putting in these tubs? We camp south and wouldn't store food outside. I can see kid's tiys as a gathering device for helmets and outside toys. I'm only curious what younstore in the tubs to leave them outsied. We use the tubs in our underneathe storage and we just get what we need then put it back.
