Extra external storage: temporary & secure?

[kevenh]

When we take the bikes the extra bumpf fills up locker space and is just in the way.
Maybe we can stow the helmets, gloves and pumps in something like a boat dry bag under the Motorhome. With a combo lock to the chassis casual thieving will be avoided.

But what’s the usual Motorhoming solution?

Where does the 'bumph' live normally?

Where does the 'bumph' live normally?

In an overhead locker.
"It" fills that area and has to come out to take the smaller stuff that lives there.
It's mostly the bulky low weight cycle helmets that due to their shape and shell construction waste the most space.

How about a storage box on the cycle rack?

How about a storage box on the cycle rack?

That is one avenue to check out
But it would be limited in size due to the bikes typically still being mounted there.
I need to research size options

I once used a boat dry bag for it's typical purpose & I wondered if it had been tried for this land application.

Hopefully youll meet my mate Steve this coming weekend, his daughter got you your tickets. He can sort your issues with extending the cycle rack.

Instead of putting the cycle helmets in the OH locker see if you hang them somewhere instead - I like my hats so take a few with me on holiday and hang them on hooks in the washroom where they aren't in the way and don't get squished! I also have some overdoor hooks that go on the washroom door (with padding) for jackets etc and this keeps them out of the way. When we had a Rapido 709F MH, only 5.53m with a fixed transverse bed, storage was tight for some stuff so our canoe paddles lived in the washroom secured in the corner out of the way.
