I think I'm going to try the over-the-door idea if I can get the brackets to extend far enough to hold the rod.  If I can, I will have an over-the-door pantry!  This will probably only work on the slideout models that have the kitchen in front of the bathroom door-- I think the floor space there is 36 inches wide.   On other models you might not have room to get around it. 

 

Today at Big Lots I bought 2 over the door hooks that will extend out quite far.  (I hope it will be far enough, but I won't know until I pick up my new 177 a week from now).  I am going to try to lift out that short rod the thingy is hanging on, and hang that plastic rod on the two over-the-door hooks -one at each end of the rod.  So I'm HOPING I will end up with an over-the-door hanging PANTRY where I can put things that aren't TOO heavy (paper plates, cups, and paper towels, trash bags, packaged food such as bread or buns, potato chips, etc., etc. -- but not canned food) 

 

I'm sure the guys in this forum would be able to rig up some over-the door hooks that extend out far enough and can accommodate the diameter of that rod on their pods.  For me I'm just trying to rig something with what I have on hand.

 

And by the way -- I'm envious about the N.C. trip.  I grew up near Wilmington but live in north Georgia now.  I haven't been home to NC in a couple of years.

 

Thanks for all the warm welcomes, and all the storage ideas everyone! 

We have been out on two trips so far this spring.  first one was 600 miles to central NC and the second was 400 to Wilmington, NC and the beaches.  It is a great unit for two empty nesters like us.  Best of luck

 

 

For storage, I like the Rubbermaid tubs with locking lids.  They come in various sizes.

    We use storage tubs under the bed and under the front bench for our clothes, all are the same size. I get 2 while Mama gets 4 of them, doesn't seem fair. 4 will fit under the bed.

  Never put up a clothes bar over the bed, but after thinking on it for a few minutes I am going to try to use the one in the bath over the bed.    Thanks for the idea.

My hubbie's not much of a camper, and I love to camp with my sister, brother, grandkids, etc.  So I went from a pop-up which I towed and put up by MYSELF, to a fifth wheel (which my husband didn't like me to tow by myself) to the R-Pod.  I wanted something I could tow by myself, but wasn't as much work to put up as a pop-up. 

 

So does anyone have any advice? 

1)  Especially in regard to storage - because what was in the 5th wheel is NOT going to fit in the R-Pod!  I liked the idea I saw in another forum of sliding laundry baskets under the bed.

2) Has anyone hung a rod over the foot of the bed (and if so, how?)

 

Thanks.  I am very excited to belong to this group of enthusiastic R-Podders!
