Discovering a safe RV space for storing for coolers, wooden bins, and turbines could be a actual problem on A-frame journey trailers. An space usually used for cargo is above the propane tanks on the A-frame. Stromberg Carlson Merchandise, the well-known Michigan-based RV aftermarket producer, has carried out simply that. The corporate affords an progressive storage tray that may assist as much as 300 kilos.
The tray of the Stromberg’s CC-255 Trailer Tray (MSRP: $284.95) sits about 30 inches from the highest of the A-frame. As such, it simply clears the usual 30-pound propane tanks discovered on most journey trailers. The tray sits atop curved tubular assist legs which might be adjustable to suit a wide range of A-frame widths and configurations.
An Straightforward RV Storage Tray Set up
What’s even nicer is the Set up of this Stromberg accent is comparatively straightforward for RV house owners utilizing primary hand instruments. We witnessed as a lot throughout a go to to Bish’s RV in Meridian, Idaho. The one instruments wanted are a 3/8- or ½-inch ratchet set, some box-end wrenches, a drill, and a tape measure.
That’s what Bish’s tech used to do the set up. That manner, the client might securely carry a 98-pound Cummins Onan P4500i Digital Inverter generator. It was put in on a 2021 Grand Design Reflection 313 RLTS. The tray would even be ultimate for carrying a pair of smaller moveable turbines.)
Sustaining Entry To Propane Tanks
Set up directions are effectively written and supply three mounting ideas. That allows the elimination and/or refilling of the tanks to be carried out with the storage tray in place.
- 1. Change the prevailing propane tank plastic hardcover with a delicate vinyl cowl
- 2. Change the prevailing hardcover with a flip-top model to entry the tank valves. (This additionally requires elimination of the cross bar to take away cowl and refill propane tanks)
- 3. Depart the tank cowl off for direct entry to the propane tanks
Bish’s RV techs suggest one of the best answer is changing the propane tank’s arduous plastic cowl with a delicate model. The shopper took this route after the tray was put in.
Straightforward Adjustment RV Storage Design
The CC-255 RV storage cargo tray makes use of a “T”-style entrance assist. It additionally makes use of a pair of sturdy mandrel-bent heavy-wall tubes for the rear helps. The rear tubes sit in metal pockets clamped to the trailer’s A-frame rails. In the meantime the entrance assist clamps throughout the trailer A-frame simply behind the jack.
All mounting components, together with the tray, are simply adjustable to maneuver the tray fore/aft or side-to-side. No matter it takes to suit the trailer, and clear the tow car when it’s making a pointy flip. It’s a clear, well-designed cargo-tray system.
