Camper Mod: Sewer Tote Storage

Since I purchased the blue tote I was not happy with storing the it in the front camper compartment. I just did not seem right.

I thought about various locations - in the front and on the back bumper but did not like the idea of displaying this ugly thing in full sight.

So here is what I did:

1) I created a frame of stainless steel supported by flat aluminium spreaders. I then attached this frame to the stairs. When its raised into top position the whole frame is at the same height as the stair housing. I then attached a light weight plastic plant support to provide the bottom of the frame.



2) the tote rolls right into place.


3) I had to leave the totes cover off to fit it nicely around the existing gas line.


4) It sits in this position without any other fasteners. It's not moving at all as it pushes slightly against the bottom of the trailer.


Since I have installed this I have traveled about 1000 miles and I have not experienced any loosening or moving of parts. I am happy that the tote is out of sight. The only improvement project left is the raising of frame. I might need to think about something else as it requires me to sit in front of the frame, raise it with one hand and fasten it with the other.
