What I Want to Do Today... but Not Sure How?
Hi Guys, when I picked up my 1995 Lance 4000 I thought I had some good ideas on how to keep stuff from dancing while on the road. Most of my ideas failed and this has become a real quandary! What...

I use clear plastic tubs with lids of varying sizes for everything. From the tiny containers that are only two inches by two inches that are intended to hold SD cards to containers that I stash my macerator pump in an outside compartment.
I then use plastic bags for all bottles, and then they go into a plastic tub. This way, if one ruptures, I toss the bag. If it ruptures violently enough to destroy the bag it is in, I clean out the plastic tub.
As for the countertop, I wonder about museum putty and as above... a plastic container. I am not a fan of laying down Velcro everywhere because it looks ugly after a while, but a small bits here and there are not too bad in places. I personally just only use the sink for storing items like dish soap (in plastic bags, of course), and don't bother with countertop space. Instead, I put what goes on the countertop in a plastic tub, and slide the tub under the dinette table.
In a pinch, if storage space is still at a premium, there is dropping some type of rubber mat (if the floor is not carpeted), or a rug (if it is carpeted), and using wheeled plastic toolboxes. It may take some engineering, but one might be able to wedge the toolboxes somewhere inside... then when you hit your destination, pull them out of the TC and toss them outside, perhaps using a security cable so they don't walk off.
