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.

Good to know, will check.

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.

Mostly going to be stuff related to the different activities. Helmets, toys, yard games, and also the vehicle and trailer set up and maintenance items; extra oil, hoses, wash stuff, rope, tie downs, stakes.

Found a bunch of stuff on sale at the local Fred Meyer. Mix of Rubbermaid and Sterilite. I am thinking that I will completely unload the camper and start over. Shooting for a better plan. Afraid I am going to find way too much.....but maybe not.

I will snap some pics during the process. Might start Friday if I don't have to work. Otherwise will be Monday morning.

We use the mid-sized low profile rubber-mate action packer and carry it in our front rack. It is low enough that it does not affect cooling the engine or transmission. We store our gray water bottle, electrical cords, gray water hose, oil and small gas can for generator. In short it holds anything that is used in the rain and can be packed up wet. Thanks for caution on the bug problem. We taped a 4 inch plastic skirt to the front half of the lid using duct tape and believe it - it keeps the lid from letting in rain during driving. Cheers
