Welcome!  Youwill find over time all kinds of places to store your items.  We were able to downsize alot of items as we never really used them.]]> Tue, 29 Jan 2013 20:14:43 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3203&PID=30530#30530 My new 172 : Lots of good advice here, we have... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3203&PID=30512#30512 Author: dsmiths

Lots of good advice here, we have a 172 also. get a nickel plated rack that hangs on the shower door with racks toward the ouside, you can hang shoes, coats, hats, towels etc. build a prop rod for the lower front bunk that holds the lid up while you are storing stuff. I built a doubler for the lid under the cushion on the rear passengers side so when you raise the lid it does not hang up on the rear cushion. be creative, take only what you need. we dont use the top bunk so there is a lot of space up there for suitcases, grab and go bags etc. no matter it will be fun.]]> Mon, 28 Jan 2013 22:34:59 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3203&PID=30512#30512 My new 172 : Welcome. http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3203&PID=30507#30507 Author: techntrek

Congrats, one the 172.  I have one too..You have it made a far as storage with you and a min pin.  You have storage under the bottom bunk.  Use that bunk to sleep on and pull the mattress off the top bunk and use it for storage.   I put a piece of vinyl across the top bottom when we are moving and put the latter and TV up there (and other stuff too).   I put a door under the back seat so I could get access to the center of the back storage area, which makes it's easy to get things in and out.  Also remember every thing doesn't have to be put away when traveling.   I put my zero gravity chairs where the kitchen table goes, then they go out when we set up camp.

Enjoy

Welcome!
 
Storage challenges always eventually come down to eliminating stuff you don't really need!

Welcome to the forum and to Podding!  Most of us have learned to live within the limitations of our pods.  I can't advise on a 172, but there are plenty who can.  The one universal that most of us have discussed is to learn what is necessary and what isn't.  We struggled with space more in our first year.  We continue to leave things out and we will thin out even more in the future.  Have fun with your pod!]]> Mon, 28 Jan 2013 09:02:58 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3203&PID=30492#30492 My new 172 : I am the owner of a new 172 Rpod!!!I... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3203&PID=30484#30484 Author: MinPod

I am the owner of a new 172 Rpod!!!
I am from Salt Lake City, UT and I was trying to go down to quartzite for a couple of months, but it keeps snowing! Angry
My biggest challenge  is trying to figure out where to store stuff. I am stepping down from a 21ft trailer that had plenty of storage.
It is just Me and My min pin, and am pulling my pod with a green FJ.Smile
