Storage in lower bays in non typical places

As a new owner I am curious about using non typical locations for certain types of storage.

1. Propane tank - It runs the length side to side. Tank is round in a square compartment leaving 2 upper corners for storage of long items. I am thinking of putting a long 6" tube to store my 4" sewer hose with the 90 degree angle hooked up and sticking out of the tube.

2. Discovered a significant space in the water tank bay, not the side that opens. This one is bolted down, no latch. Will store 50 ft air hoe in this one as airing up tires on the road should be rare.

3. Inverter bay - Don't want to store very combustible items but I think the battery jumper cable might work in this compartment. It would also be a good place for tire chains and a bottle Jack.

4. Electric reel bay - I think the is room for a good quality extension cord and a tray for other electrical items like power adapter plugs etc.

5. Water system bay - Gloves and hose.

What else to you have tucked away that is unusual?

Anything that will fit. As you noted, no flammable materials in certain areas. Don't block airflow around the charger/ inverter. I cut holes in the back wall for more flow. I have considered the space around the propane tank but so far no permanent action. I stored 2 car tires in there when we went to Alaska. Hose storage is a good idea.
Good luck!
