| The far back is a good place to put your chairs, rugs, fish poles or any other long items that can be reached even when pushed to the other side |

I use the awning pole or the jack handle to reach item in the back. I put my water hoses and electrical cord in round plastic containers and push them to the back. Hook them with the awning pole and slide them forward. I keep all the small stuff up in the front. ------------- 2017.5 RPod 179 2017 Jeep Unlimited Wrangler 2017 Chevy Colorado Z71 Off Road Crew Cab 2 Weiner dogs Great wife puts up with my BS ❤️ Thoroughbred Racing.

I found 3 Sterilite 12 gallon tubs fill the area nicely and hold everything we need. They are 23.5 long, 18.5 wide and 19.25 high. I was disappointed to discover my folding chairs were too big to fit on top of the tubs, so I used a couple bungee cords to strap them to the table. After a couple trips we ditched the table, so the chairs now ride on the couch and are well secured by the table strap. A bag chair may fit on top of there tubs though, don't have any to do a test with because my back doesn't like them. ------------- 2015 179 2013 Xterra Pro 4X |

All good ideas, plus consider adding stuff sacks to the mix. You can buy or make your own in a variety of sizes, colors and either solid or mesh fabrics. They allow stuffing things into otherwise empty or hard to fit spaces, and you can add "leashes" to be able to pull them out. Or use a tool to pull them out. I'm big on color coding, everyone has their own thinking on that but the point being you can use them in a variety of ways. Backin15's recommendation for the 3 Sterilites is great too, stuff sacks allow you to stuff in and around tote boxes and other hard-sided items. ------------- 2017 R-Pod 179 HRE (the green one) His:Ford F150 double cab 4WD; Hers/mine:Tacoma V6 double cab 4WD Still love rugged, diggin' comfy too |

Build a drawer that goes all the way back yet easily reachable from the front. ------------- 2006 Toyota Tacoma 4WD AC 2018 RP 179 |

Won't work very easily...the door opening is not totally lined up with the longer part of the storage for the most part. When I put my storage boxes in, I have almost snake them in to the back. ------------- Mark Concord, NC 2017 RP 179 "Podzilla" 2011 Silverado 1500 4X4 |
