Serrano V Basement Structure

[COTuscany]

I'm thinking about how to best use the rear storage "barn" on the Serrano. I love that it swallow everything, but trying to figure out how to best organize. To that end, is the front 'wall' (to the bedroom) double-thickness? They have screws going into it for the table strap, but I'm just wondering about putting additional screws into for a strap to hold various things in place. Right now it is holding the golf clubs, two chairs, a small grill, and two bicycles. But I'd sure like to organize it better.

This is what we are talking about !!!! the "Mother of All Rooms!"



In a ~30 foot long motorhome this is gonna come in handy.

Driver, any idea why the raised section in the middle? There doesn't seem to be anything underneath. Is a spare tire an option on this beast?

COSerrano, If you take a look under there I expect that you will see the end section of the chassis rails. I have not been under the Serrano but that's what I believed that I was looking at.

I don't know if this thread is still being watched but here is what I have done so far with the barn area in my Serrano. On the left side looking forward, I now have a stack of Sterlite plastic boxes stacked on the plastic floor cover on this side. There are a total of three stacks. Two stacks of large boxes, three boxes high and one stack of smaller boxes, four boxes high. These boxes fit just snugly from front to back in this space. A large dimple in the base of each box nests nicely with the dome on the box lid below. With about 4000 miles on the coach since I put these in they have never moved. I have tools in one, chemicals and cleaners in another, my colemam grills fit in a third, etc. I will try and post a picture when I get a chance.

Interesting idea. I'd love to see pictures. I'm still thinking about what I'd like to do to organize that area.

Ok, I just loaded the app for my iPad. Here are some pictures of what I did on the drivers side of the basement area in my Serrano. All bins are Sterlite purchased from Target. So far I like it and as you can see this bins are not nearly full yet. The same arrangement did not work on the other side because the table is strapped in on that side making it narrower. I can get you part numbers for the bins I used if you need them.
