Storage
The kitchen cabinet should have the heaviest items on
the bottom and lighter items overhead. After loading
you should have the skillets and can goods on the floor
or bottom shelf, and the cereals and crackers in the
overhead roof locker. Use the unbreakable type plates
and saucers, and consider storing your dish towels
around them. Better yet, use paper plates. Who wants
to wash dishes when on a trip or vacation?
A good place to store heavy items is in the front drawer
assembly. It is rated for a 100 lb. capacity, plus adding
weight to the front of the trailer may even improve
towing slightly.
Clothes hung in wardrobes should be kept on hangers
that snap over the clothes rods to keep them from
“jumping” off on rough roads. Evening dresses should
be kept in the plastic bags like dry cleaning businesses
use. No matter how hard you try, if you travel a long
dusty section of road the dust will work its way into the
trailer and soil clothes. Try to avoid large bulky coats.
Layers of lighter clothing will usually keep you warmer,
are more versatile and easier to store.
Some additional storage is available under the shelf in
the bottom of the wardrobe, but you must be sure it is
loaded so the drain lines, water pump and filter, and
heat ducts can’t be damaged.
WARNING : Keep flammable material
away from the furnace.
Remember, heavy items should be stored low
and toward the front, lighter items in the rear and
overhead cabinets.
