STOWAGE

On the driver's side of the motor home, behind a second door, there is compartment (bay) that holds the Hydro-Hot unit, a heat pump that is both the hot water heater and furnace for the coach. In the area between this second door and the door of the bay is where the hook-ups for the water are located. Forry has various tools there that we use when we are attaching the water hose as well as the external surge protector unit and the sprayer of diluted bleach that we use on faucets before we attach our hose.

Forry has been thinking about how to install a shelf or something in that area in order to organize things a bit and reduce the clutter. He bought a piece of one inch board to use for reinforcing on the back side of the door --

The bolted a pair of copper baskets that he had found to the outside --

Ending up with a neat place to stow all of this stuff, leaving plenty of space at the bottom for his sewer support rack and the surge protector!

The dictionary defines stowage as: n. the action or manner of stowing something space for stowing something in. Stow is defined as: to pack or store (an object) carefully and neatly in a particular place.

Living in a motor home certainly makes one think about the necessity of stowage!
