Underbed storage

it seems that underbed storage is only used in pop-up campers. Is there some reason for this? It seems like it would be a good place for some more storage, has anyone built some sort of underbed storage in a non pop-up camper?

  • Maybe however ours (truck camper)had a 1x2 frame 6" tall with paneling sides. 1x4 x full width headers. At the top was a full piano hinge, top of platform was full sheets (top & bottom) of paneling glued to foam and 1x2" laid flat. The top had 2 very long compression cylinders to aid lifting.
  • yes, I'm well aware it's the truck camper forum. I've just seen some nice storage in pop up truck campers with struts to hold it up and everything, just never seen it in a non pop-up but maybe it does exist.
  • ^^^ um guys this is the Truck Camper Forum not the travel trailer forum. Under the bed in a truck camper is usually some framing, air then a truck cab...
  • Ours had one about 6" deep. I removed for weight, more head room, easier to get closets open. I thought they were fairly common.
  • There is storage under the queen bed in the front BR and under the bunks in the bunkhouse.

    There is also storage under the clam-shell couch.
