I've always thought if I owned a company that sold products based on design and looks [moderator edit] My 94 Adventurer is new to me and enjoying it but.............

For you folks that owned an older Adventurer, where did you put your garbage can? Its clear no [moderator edit] was on the committee as there is no where to put your garbage, they would have caught this problem right away. Now I can modify the cabinet to create an area under the sink, but I shouldn't have to modify anything as disposing of garbage is a primary task in a motorhome, but apparently not to the then current design committee.

So where do you, or did you, put your garbage can in your older Adventurer?

I had same problem. Found a spot in my hall between kitchen folding door and bathroom door. Area is 11" wide. Went to Uline and ordered 2 feminine sanitary napkin disposal bins, wall mountable type. Perfect size to use old plastic shopping bags as liners. Use one for metals/food waste, the other for burnables. Choice of either white plastic or stainless steel bins and not real expensive.

Our 1996 34rq was hung on the left door under the sink.

I probably should have posted this with my first reply, but I'm in an '87 Pace Arrow Y27. Bit smaller and probably drastically different layout but it mite give you a couple of ideas.

Floor plan is probably a more relevant question than year or model. Every layout has a different challenge for receptacle to hold garbage. Ditto for dirty clothes. Few RV makers bother to adress that universal problem.

Our current coach has a walk-thru bath area and room for a tall but slim waste can there (uses a standard 13 gallon trash bag). Previous coach we had a small trash container clipped to the inside of a cabinet door - had to empty that little sucker every day! In another rig the only practical place was a bag in the shower (nuisance, but whaddaya gonna do?) And one of our trailers had a trash bag hung on the end of the kitchen counter.

If you open the doors under my sink, there is a solid shelf that prohibits a decent garbage bag/can arrangement. It could be modified by cutting out a large piece of the shelf to take a can/bag but I wonder why they didn't do that at the time of construction. Right now my can/bag is sitting on the dinette seat but that means putting stuff in the garbage that could drip onto the cushion, not very desirable.

I could use the bathroom idea but that means carrying stuff that again could drip on the floor. I just don't get how you can make an RV, and expensive RV in class A instances without a garbage location.
