50A Cord Reels & Basement Organization Question

[jagibson58]

I would suggest evaluating what do you need to go camping with. Is the front area over loaded causing a weight imbalance? Maybe purchase a storage container and mount it on the rear of the camper.

Basement is a mess. Chairs totes and ladder on one side. Grill, ladder, and screen room tent thing the wife had to have but have not used in 3yrs hanging up. Water hoses, filters, and cords on the other side.

I put all my wheel chocks and landing gear blocks 6ea in truck along with 4K gen and 42 gal honey wagon. View attachment 4365View attachment 4366View attachment 4367

That’s not a mess!

Yea seems like a lot. Have 2 Lectric Bikes on back. Full of cloths, groceries, and 5 gallons in black tank and gray tank and 10 gallons in fresh tank I am at 3k pin weight and have right at 900 pounds to spare so I can fill fresh tank up if boondocking. That’s why the chock blocks, gen and other stuff are in the truck. You save a lot without a washer, dryer and on board generator. Will have to weigh again this year. Traded the ford for a Ram.

I really like Ram trucks. My 1500 EcoDiesel was my favorite vehicle out of all I’ve ever owned. I went with a Ford for this rig as we couldn’t get the options we wanted along with the payload we wanted.

I used to coil the cord up and put it in basement but stopped doing that this last time out since it goes in and then gets pulled right back out at the next spot whether to hook back up or get out of the way reaching other things while dry camping. I've been just wrapping it up, securing it with a Velcro cord management thing and putting it in the bed on top of the folded exterior mats. No issues yet.
