Getting everything packed and ready to hit the road.

WOW, This thing holds a lot of stuff. 🙂

Got all the tools,  spare parts, extra engine oil and trans fluid, jumper cables, a small folding step stool, and the extra BBQ LP tank under the 2 table bench seats.

Under the couch the storage space is weird shaped and is good for small long things. small Axe and shovel, sludge hammer, crow bar, extension cords, trouble light, a couple gallons of RV Antifreeze/ windshield washer fluid, and some spare parts are stored under the couch.

Plenty of clothes storage space – I added two removable clothes hanging bars in the shower, so when we don’t use the shower, we drop the bars in the little clips and the shower now becomes a “Walk in Closet”.

How many RVs do you know of that have a “Walk in Closet” 🙂 Problem is, there’s not enough room for you and the clothes at the same time 🙂 .

Jodie found a plastic 4 drawer “Chest of Drawers” that fits perfectly in the regular closet. With the chest of drawers in the closet, there’s still enough space above the drawers for hanging some clothes, and there’s room on the side of the drawers for long items like folding lawn chairs, fishing poles, etc.

The small Mr Coffee goes inside the microwave while traveling.

The counter tops are free and no clutter.

Cabinets and drawers have pots, pans, silverware and other household items, All the overhead cabinets are available for food stuffs. In fact, I think we’re going to be hitting the road with some of the cabinets empty.

In the outside generator compartment, I have two 5 gallon gas cans, and a small 2 1/2 gallon gas can.  The city water hose, tire jack, wrenches, and some wood blocks are also stored in there.

We have two spare tires, a brand new tire is bolted on the back of the Toyhouse on the spare tire mount.  I bought an extra wheel and mounted one of my old original tires on it. That spare tire is tied down on top of the Toyhouse.

I filled and flushed all the water lines and holding tanks with a bleach / water solution last week. I still need to drain this and refill the tank with fresh water.

The Refrigerator is plugged in to shore power and makes ice cubes. I’ll switch it over to LP gas Thursday night. Friday morning we’ll fill the frig with food.

Maps, cameras, books, and other stuff fits neatly in the driver and passenger seat back pockets we got at Walmart.

We should be able to connect to the internet every couple days, so I’ll try and post something here as often as I can. We’re getting excited 🙂

    How did you secure your spare tire to the top of your unit?

    Several tie down straps secured the wheel and tire to the top rack. I also had a spare tire and wheel mounted on the back.
