How RVers Can Tote and Store Their Little Lumberyards

RVers have often been accused of taking along a partial lumberyard on their journeys. Why do we carry pieces of wood around? Mostly it’s for leveling and configuring stabilizer jacks. Sometimes we use it to elevate our sewer hose, or hold down the sewer hose elbow. They come in handy for chalking tires, creating a barrier so we don’t back into our rigs, landing gear platforms, and all sorts of things. Go to any RV park and you’ll see lots of lumber being employed in this manner. The problem is finding a place for all this wood. It also becomes dirty and wherever you store it will soon be cluttered with dirt and debris that collects on the wood and quickly spreads to your storage area. Richard Walter of DeBary, Florida uses a canvas firewood carrier to both tote and store his little lumberyard. Notice that he also uses the plastic Lego style blocks as well. They all store neatly in his tote and it keeps the dirt and debris in the bag and out of his storage area.I’m out here digging up RVing tips like crazy so you'll have a more enjoyable RVing experience. I hope to see you on the road this summer. Jim

  • If you're ever near a Home Depot, they have the BEST carry-alls & for only $1.99. They're orange, heavy duty but light weight, big with big handles & best of all - they have snap thingees (technical term) on the expandable sides that allow the carry-all to hook to a shopping cart - open so you just fill up your bag when you're done shopping & carry it out.

  • You might also remember there are often duffle bag styled luggage at garage sales, some with wheels for almost give away prices. Sizes vary so almost anything you need will turn up sooner or later. ronelm
