I have been impressed by the storage located in the Fuse. Tons and tons given the size of the vehicle. A huge portion of this storage is located in the bathroom.
Most of the storage is located in the drawers and closet located behind the toilet. Now since we keep the Fuse set up for traveling you are going to get a real look at how and what we are storing so everyone is going to have excuse the lived in look.
The closet is pretty big. Designed to hold coats and shirts. Not full-length dresses. With that being said, when we punched the Fuse we expected to use the closet way more than we have. As you can see in the picture, we are just storing odds and ends. Our broom, swiffer, flip flops, some beach towels and the front shades. A few hangers for the few clothes we have not been bringing are also in here.
Another cool feature we thought we would be taking advantage of is the built in storage along the side of the closet. As you can see we are not using it.
The storage we are using is the two drawers behind the toilet.
In the top drawer we are keeping all of the bathroom dos and ends that you just have to have. Blow dryer, sun screen, insect repellant, and bottles of other stuff.
We decided to keep the towels in the bottom drawer. When used, we are hanging the towels on the bar above the shower to dry. So far the setup of the bathroom drawers is working out for us.
Not much in the medicine cabinet other than the first aid kit and some extra band-aids. We have needed the extra band-aids for the blisters we have gotten.
And in the final space, under the sink we are keeping the extra Toilet Paper and some cleaning supplies. Note that we have the TP stored in a large ziplock bag. When we first got the Fuse we had a leak in the sink drain. I got it fixed but we now have picked up the habit to protect one of our most precious supplies.
Like I said up top, the Fuse has lots of storage. For a 4 day trip what we are carrying has been fine. but we have plenty of extra space so we can expand as we find holes in our plan.
Hi, Don,
ReplyDeleteWe have not found the closet behind the toilet to be very useful. I recently built two shelves out of 1/4" plywood and placed them at the same level as the closet cubby holes. It took a lot of fine-tuning to get them to fit around all the molding. I drilled holes in the four corners of each shelf and secured them in place using 5/16" threaded rods and nuts above and below the shelves. This modification greatly improved the storage capability of the closet. I have pictures of the finished project if anyone is interested.
