We hung a couple of scrap PVC pipes from the aluminum frame members supporting the bedroom using zip ties. These are perfect for storing long fishing rods so we don't have to take them apart after each use. I just leave the reels on too and have them hanging out the end of the pipe.

Like most others, we use plastic storage bins of many different sizes for the sewer hose extension, sewer hose "slinky," spare water hose, BBQ grill, firewood, etc. However, I keep the primary sewer hose in the rear bumper, the primary water hose on top of the plastic bins, and the electric cables hung in a separate outside compartment located behind the pantry in our dining room slide. That keeps all the hookups in quick, easy-to-get-to locations. It also means I don't have to put a dripping sewer hose in the basement each time we disconnect.

Part of our basement is also taken up by a collapsible, cylindrical laundry hamper. We have a laundry chute below our bathroom sink where we can deposit our dirty clothes each night. We love it compared to having to lift the bed to put clothes in a clothes basket like we did in our old trailer!

We bought a industrial rubber mat that covered most of the floor and a couple light weight wooden tots to put smaller items in and the rest are rugs /lawn chairs on the rubber mat.

Don't think so, just a cheap skate.

One of the easiest and most useful mods we've found is to use the lightweight wire closet shelves found in home improvement stores. We put them on the front and back wall in the basement and on the back wall of the front compartment. They sure help with the clutter.

Large rubber mat, then flat stuff like table, chairs, electric impact wrench, wooden crate for loose stuff. We have a garage so some other items go on the floor next to the bike.

Milk crates are great for smaller items.
