Any good place to store smore sticks?

[edwardr132]

Anybody have any good ideas of how to store smore sticks on a popup?  I bought the safety ones with the sharp edges pointed inward and threw out the older types.  

I am thinking about using some type of hooks under the bunk beds, but am worried if they get stuck somehow while trying to unfold the popup end that I could be in big trouble?

Just curious what other popup owners do....

Me too; we've settled on the front storage bin sort of by default.  It's the least bad spot we've found.

I keep ours in the upper section of the kitchen galley.  I wrap the ends in paper towels so no one gets poked.

I have a drawer under the u-shaped dinette and they fit in there.  I keep them in their original vinyl bag.

I have a bunch that I wrap with a "Velcro" strap so they don't spread or move around.  I place this bundle on the floor under one of the dinette bench seats, with their points into a wood corner, (not near any electical lines or devices).  Since I store other things under this seat, they stay put pretty well.  If you're worried about sharp points, you could use a large heavy sponge (like one used to wash a car).

My wife made little pouches from old sweatshirts for the hot dog sticks, pie irons and tiki torches.  They either have a couple snaps or yarn cinch to hold closed.  Keeps the soot contained.  We don't have a front trunk on our Rockwood, so I installed 2 6" PVC tubes between the LP tank/battery and the camper front.  One for all the "sooty" outside stuff, the other for fishing poles.  Just have a screw on cap - works like a charm.

We also store ours in the 6" PVC pipe on the front. See my mods page in my signature.

That's a great idea!  Just goes to show that after being a member on these boards for more than 4 years, you can still learn cool stuff here!

Unfortunately, I can't figure out a way to put a 6" PVC pipe on a 2000 Fleetwood Coleman Seapine.  The Palamino Popups slope in enabling a place to put the PVC pipe.  Does anyone know any Fleetwood Owners putting on any 6" PVC pipes?  I don't see it fitting on the bumper, so I am guessing it must fit somewhere near the front of the axle and be screwed into the underside.  I am just not sure that is room to put one there either....  Sigh....

I bought an appropriate diameter mailing tube at the post office, cut the length down to the right size and use that. One end is stapled in place, the other is removeable. Just store the tube wherever it's convienent.
Costs about 3 bucks.

Unfortunately, I can't figure out a way to put a 6" PVC pipe on a 2000 Fleetwood Coleman Seapine...I don't see it fitting on the bumper...

My 2000 bayside has a bumper that sticks out about 5-6" from the back of the pop-up.  There is certanly room for a length of 6" PVC there on mine (on the top, not the back - the crank goes through the bumper).  It might protrude beyond the bumper slightly.  If all you're doing is putting s'more/hot dog sticks in it, you might be able to get away with a 4" PVC...do they make such an animal?

I put ours and extra tent poles for a dining tarp under the mattress of one of the bunks...works great in the 3 pop ups we've had...

Yes, in fact, most people use the 4" PVC. Sometimes the 6" is hard to find, since it is considered commercial. I did find it at Lowe's, however.

There is so much more volume in a 6" PVC pipe. I was surprised at all the "stuff" I could fit in one!

Let's see, if I did my math right, a 4" PVC that is 6' long would have 904 cubic inches of volume/storage space.
A 6" PVC that is 6' long would have 2034 cubic inches.

It is too late for me to be looking at math.:eyecrazy:

I have PCV pipe on both end, (use for bed poles) never thought to put the stabing forks there. Better put in point first. If you use 6ft pipes you better make both ends  removable, or put nothig less than 4ft long in them.
