What/how do you store things in there without bumping into control panels etc...Thinking some storage containers with tension rod(s) to prevent movement?

Hi Bubblehead. As we gain more users here on the forum, there will be more experiences represented here. I’m hopeful that soon, a Valor owner will be able to weigh in on your question based on their experience.

In the mean time, and apologies for pushing you to yet another social media channel, you may wish to consider posing your question on this Valor related Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/833987820700011/

If you’re not a Facebook user, I’d be happy to make that post there for you and ask members there to answer it back here on the forum.

I've been thinking about that very thing, but not too much as I still don't have my truck yet. was planning on using that as last resort considering what was there.

I would like to store items in there and in the battery compartment but I am also concerned about causing damage to the equipment.

I keep my patio mats in the upper along with a plastic container with stinky slinky fittings and the expandable support for said slink. In may battery compartment we keep a couple smallish plastic toolboxes. One has various pex fittings and tools and the other has “parts” like fuses, screws, duct tape, etc

On our prior RV, I partitioned off the battery area with a false wall so half was power/battery and the other half was easy to store stuff.

Well, after a couple of years here's what I use that area for:
Tarps, and bike cover (when I have the bike, and my wife's step ladder. (along with pool noodles protecting the hydraulics).
I keep my wheel chocks and extra air compressor hoses (for my Tire Minder compressor) where the batteries are. Since my built in compressor gave up the ghost, and wasn't up to the task of airing up the RV tires in the first place, almost left us stranded in Arizona last year).

I store the tire covers, a tarp spare disposable drip pans, my v.o.m and my lp hose in the top compartment and a couple of extension cords. No issues. In the batter compartment I keep some of my jack stand blocks. Also, no issues.

I currently use that compartment as my tool shop but its getting pretty annoying to duck down and stick my head up in the hole to get stuff frequently. I keep main power cable and several extension cords down in the battery compartment but I may relocate tools into a drawer system down there. The hyd. assembly is behind two removable panels in our '24 44v14 so I'm not worried about that and nothing has come close to hitting the Renogy controller.

Could just put a cover over it of some sort for piece of mind.

I store my batteries in a pelican case. Its easily accessible, bolted down, and tough as nails. I made an aluminum frame to mount inside that can securely hold 4 Renogy 100ah Self-Heating batteries Might be over kill and pricey, but tough as nails. Just have not had a chance to add 40A an breaker after 3000W inverter and inline fuse to off the possitive side 4/0 cable feeding my 12v load side. It will go inside the Pelican case too.

Have you put a temp sensor inside that Pelican box on a hot day with inverter running?

Thanks, It will eventually have the sensors mounted in the correct location. I have a larger capacity disconnect ordered. I want one more Renogy 100ah battery. Last weekend I installed a 40a breaker. It replaced the 6"×6" box on the upper left. I still work so time and resources are limited.
More to come.
