So my wife and I are planning a big RV trip next summer. I am trying to figure out everything I need to be as prepared as possible.

Under my rear seat I have a Viair 400P, torque wrench, various tools, blanket, ratcheting straps, first aid kit, etc. I put together a video to show you all how I organized all this stuff.

If you have any ideas of what else I should bring along I would certainly appreciate it. I know I'm missing things and maybe there is a better way to get prepared. Looking for ideas.

Thank you.

 

Tow strap, jumper cables, work gloves, hand cleaner, pet supplies (leash, foldable drinking bowl, . . ), extra fuses, . . .

 

A small stuff sack filled with credit cards.

 

Credit card.

 

 

 

 

Cheetos, crayons, and other misc. things my kids have dropped between the seats.

 

I can't watch the video but I would suggest a good flashlight in case of nighttime issues. Maybe two.

 

To add to this: Since this will be the truck gun and not your daily. I would go full frame 1911 personally.... Something that says I'm a classy a guy and matches the truck . My last f 250 has a color matched Kimber to match the blue jean denim. Now with this new truck I still need to buy another 1911 (thinking a SIG) and have it cericoated tan to match the new truck

 

Is the storage bin a factory only option or is there an aftermarket version available? Mine came with nothing.

Hey Guys...those are great ideas...some seriously funny and others seriously helpful.

Thank you!

 

Finally got a chance to watch the video. A few things I carry that you don't (working from memory here):

• 15 amp extension cord
• Cheap Roybi drill
• Small drill bit kit
• Small screwdriver bit kit
• Way more bungee cords (not that I've needed that many, I just like to have lots of options on hand.)
• Rain Poncho
• Umbrella
• My hammer's part of a Multi-tool
• Step stool (for reaching the fifth wheel hitch on uneven ground)
• Adapter plug from the Ford TMPS/Trailer Camera kit
• Grocery Boxes (great to corral loose stuff in the bed)
• Tape measure
• Work gloves
• Roll of electrical tape
• Roll of duck tape

I've also been meaning to move my handsaw from the trailer and storing it here instead, but haven't yet so it's not on the list.

Even with all of that, it's still way less than I used to carry in my RamBoxes. I like this underseat storage a lot better. More organized. The RamBoxes were just a sea of junk you had to shift through to find anything.

 

Only thing I see missing is various size zip ties and hose clamps. Can fix a lot of stuff.

I also carry a few 2x6x12" board pieces (in the camper), this way I can build a ramp to lift a flat tire on my tandem axle trailer, without having to use a jack.
