Carrying chairs without a ladder

[SJR]

How do you transport your chairs on the outside of your RV without a ladder rack? Looking for some ideas.

I hate the bag type chairs, so ours take a bit more room. They are last in/ first out of the TT and that works very well.

Sometimes they only come out as far as going under the dinette slide, but it works for us.

I always carried my chairs inside my camper, and when I had a class C, I would put them in the shower.

My class A Bounder had plenty of room inside the front basement storage compartment, it was one of the major features that steered us away from a Southwind Stormy to the slightly more expensive Bounder.

In motorhomes made before 1980, it was very common to store a lot of stuff in the shower during transit. Basement storage really opened things up!

Our's go either in the trailer outside storage or in the truck box depending upon what else we're bringing.

Ours are stashed in the very fron compartment under the fith wheel overhang. We have 12 chairs, 3 tents, bean bag boards and 10 fishing pole stashed in there.

My grill goes in the basement and takes up the whole basement with just enough room for my 200 feet of garden hose, and a few tools.

RV Bike rack that attaches to square bumper.

Best thing I have ever put on the RV. Not for bikes but for anything you need to carry! I carry 4 lawn chairs and 2 expens for the dogs on this rack. The two arms that come out for the bikes makes a perfect hanging device for chairs and pens tied back to the uprights.


RV bumper rack for bikes and expens

It's actually designed to also carry a spare tire also. Like this.
But I use the space to store the big colossal cooler!


And I threw away all my bungees and ratchet straps and use these wire/rubber ties for anything I need to tie down to the RV.

Under the bed or in the bed of the truck under the cover. Last in and first out. I've even had some that needed to be on edge alongside the bed. Don't need that space until we sleep.

If you have no basement space for them, it's super easy to just lay them on the floor as the last item to be stowed before taking off and the first item to be unloaded.

I agree, chairs or even bikes hanging off the rear get filthy.

Tried carrying chairs on the outside....a couple of times. They got filthy and had to be thoroughly cleaned before we could use them.

Try to find a way to carry them inside somewhere. We have a canopy on our truck. Bikes and chairs go in the bed of the truck protected by the canopy.

Best reason to carry inside!

My truck camper has a porch so sometimes I lay them flat and bungie them. That is for paved road travel. If we are taking gravel roads they go inside. We have a u shaped dinette and they fit in the U again secured with a bungie. We have also carried them on the step up into the cabover or just put them on the bed.

I've seen some bicycle racks that would work well for chairs. Our zero gravity and bag chairs all fit in a storage bin though.

If you have a spare tire on the rear of your trailer,My neighbor uses a rack Like This to carry his.

Our folded chairs fit under the Dinette table. Extras are bag chairs and stowed in pass thru.

Mine go in the front pass through storage. These are standard fold up lawn chairs. The fold up "bag" chairs go in the back storage compartment.
