TrailMini Porch

[Chainsaw Al]

We really enjoy the porch on our TrailMini (yes, TrailMini's have porches) when we pop up and camp. When closed for towing the porch area provides a large amount of nicely protected, accessible space. Any tips from other TrailMini owners on how to use that space?

I don't have a trailmini, but if I did I'd be looking primarily at keeping bikes there, perhaps mounting some kind of rack/hold system to keep them in place. I'd think that would be perfect!

I have the 18L and when packing for a trip, we put our small charcoal BBQ grill, briquet bags, firewood, and sewer hose (in a bag) on the porch. Basically, anything that's "dirty" that we don't want inside the trailer.

However, we always pack it in a way that there is a clear aisle to the inner door. You never know if you may need to get in there without having to open the whole trailer.

i just purchased a mini 19Rd and was looking for a place tp put the hose. I guess I can place it in the tube and the tube on the porch while closed..

any other ideas send it my way..


also

is a 48 inch tube good enough?

Bigjoe, mine has a square pipe mounted to the frame below the deck for sewer hose storage. It is capped on both ends, held shut by bungee cords. Prior owner did this, but seems to be a fairly common mod on trailers.

I also have a mini and that is a awesome idea for holding the hose - will be adding that.
