We have been trying to pare down what we are carrying so we don't have so much "stuff" on board. We are also trying to figure out how to better use the space that we have.
 |
| One of the storage areas that was built in to the bus was originally designed for storing the "sewer" hose... a nice idea, but it was not working with current ends for the sewer hose, unless we wanted to take the ends off each time, which was not practical. This is a picture of the storage component after we had taken it out. |
 |
| It fit into that area right under the diesel fill, right next to the other stuff in the wet bay - what a *large* amount of space that we were not able to make use of with the curved pipe in there. Dwayne shaved down the sprayed in insulation that was on each side of the space. |
Jimmy had suggested last year that we might want to put a floor in that compartment and use it to store other things. We considered different containers of liquids like transmission fluid or hydraulic fluid. His suggestion got me thinking that maybe we could make something that would be able to hold our current sewer hose with current fittings.
 |
| Dwayne and Jimmy built an enclosure that would allow the hose to fit and the enclosure is an open weave metal so if the hose is wet when stored, it can drip dry. |
 |
| New fitted compartment in place... |
 |
| And with the sewer hose neatly stowed! |
Now the location where the sewer hose used to be stored (in a black garbage bag... yuck!) can be used to store something else!
