Storage boxes falling off
Well, the boxes were falling down. Nothing in them. Have not been camping yet. The brackets that hold them on we're screwed into the plywood with self tapping screws made to drill holes into steel then screw into steel you cannot use that type of screw on plywood. It drills away the wood that is needed to hold the screw. SO I put 5/16 carriage bolts in, drilled a hole all the way into the the floor into the garage part of the toy hauler, put the bolt down in the hole, washer nut and tighten the bracket up that held the Box on. Snug up tight now.

Is this happening to your 2017 Outlaw? If it is, take it to the dealer, it should be covered under warranty,

I have not time nor patience for them people just to put more screws into the bottom when I fixed it permanently. Plywood underneath was chewed up so much buy them using the wrong screws there's nothing else would have worked.
This way I know it's been done right and the way I want it done and it looks nice on the inside too in the garage part of my toy hauler.

GREAT JOB!! And thanks for sharing!
Are you describing the bins under the garage floor (one each side)?
Thought they would be on steel frames to the chassis out-riggers like the Class A(?)
What about the other bins under the main floor..any dropping?

This is my fix.
I used sticky back auto foam. And galvanized straps to the frame. This is the passenger side.

Tank Heater Pad sagging on passenger side?
Usually the self-stick would tear the pad before it came off.
What's strapped-up on the driver's side?
Insulating/covering the tanks is a good thing, even if done for other reasons. Protects and improves the heater effect for the tanks
Kudos for the DIY skills!

All kinds of wires were pulled tight on the bottom across the gray tank. I just included them into the rap up.
