We bought a '94 Minnie Winnie in January. We finally finished remodeling it so I decided to go through the storage compartments. I came across these four things. Does anyone know that they are?

Thanks

I think most manual awning side supports do that. You'd use something more like tent stakes--shorter, straight, and without a big wooden handle piece.

Who did you buy the motorhome from, Gypsies or "Travelers"?

Those are hooks for opening locked cars. Check the internet and you can find lots of videos on how to use them. A poor mans slim jim.

Keep them, learn to be proficient in their use, and you'll never need a credit card while on vacation!

Does the rig have hydraulic jacks? If so, they might be used to pull the bases out from under them....Dennis

Wouldn't one be enough? OK, two, if DW is helping.

After reading this suggestion, I would not recommend using them for marshmallows or hot dogs!
3/4 timing in a DIY van conversion. Backroads, mountains, boondocking, sometimes big cities for a change of pace.

Something some one "improvised" to use for a purpose. I'd just chunk then in the trash.

Sounds like I won't find myself wishing I'd have kept them two weeks after I throw them away.
