Huge Basement Storage Ideas

Anyone got any hints at mods they've done in the "huge storage compartment" in their Georgie 351?

I've used lots of other clever ideas just checking in before I start building shelving with plywood.

As always thanks.

PS: if you've got mods send a pic please.

We have the pull-out tray in ours - so most everything goes in plastic tubs that are stacked. The longer products (rug, hooks for lights) we have along the sides of the tray. The hooks are actually using the straps for the ladder for the over cab bed.
We made a sewer tube holder to put in the propane compartment, but haven't yet installed it, will probably do it once we go back out in the spring.

I do like that idea......we kept having issues with our poles when we took them.

Sure bigben,
may be a few days if I don't have some I already have taken (don't think so, but I will check) and we don't store it at home. I have a picture of the tray itself, just not with all our crap stacked on it.

This is the tray pulled all the way out - the power cord actually sits underneath - the front part of the bottom of the tray is liftable for access to the bottom area (where we keep the cord and other small lose things.

This is the tray all the way in, you can see the available space on the sides for long skinny things.

15's DON'T have them

Great idea. i'm considering the slider and also putting some shelving in that will allow me to get use out of sides for our golf clubs.

No problem. Ours is a 2015, it's an add able option, our dealer threw it in for us. I think it was a couple hundred.
It does reduce some of the space, but it would be so hard to use the space on the far side, since you can't access it from the short side very well. You can also remove the tray and leave the rails, so they said. We haven't needed that much space so far......

I us that side for all toad stuff - safety chains, wiring, etc. - placed in a shallow plastic bin. Great use for the space.

Thanks again for the pics.
