You can put a storage tube anywhere under the frame of the R-Pod. I have put three 60" in already. You will need a small extension to accommodate the length. I used a perforated plate, 4" x 6" for lumber reinforcement and fastened it with self tapping metal screws. Now I have two 10' hoses plus a 15' hose in addition to the crappy one that came with the TT.

MODS advice:  New Rpoder off road: Sewer pipe, has anyone else found that the sewer pipe is in a bad place.  Mine has already broke, any reconmendations of where to put a new one.  Already putting the spare tire in the front along with a double battery and double propane tank.

You would think the camper manufacturers would figure out the easy ways to increase storage - and then advertise "10% more storage than last year", etc.  Would be a good selling point.

My uncle lives in Placitas.  We were out there 2 summers ago.

One week in and I already did my first two mods. A single hole faucet for $88 at the Depot. Also a cutting board from Walmart covers the stove or the sink. The single faucet really added room under the sink as the extra piping that came with the faucet let me tuck all the rest up and out of the way.

Hey Jon, looks good!  A bit odd looking at mods like I've done 100 times before, but this time knowing that was our pod.  The bed mod definitely looks versatile, and the LED mod is one of the first things we did with our Salem - great for boondocking.

The only reason I didn't put a shelf above the exit window, I was worried it would be in the way if we really had to get out that way fast.  Maybe you can figure out a break-away system, something to consider.  I'm part of the Occupant Emergency crew at work so I'm a bit anal about fire/hazard safety.  Cool
