In order to prevent items from toppling out, we purchased an elastic cargo net, which can be found at most auto-parts stores.

Tired of being the official “necklace-knot untier,” I came up with a way to keep the necklaces from getting tangled: I put [...]
Fighting Musty Odors – RV Tech Tips

Valentine Maickel, San Antonio, Texas Some time ago, my wife discovered that the under-bed storage area in our 21-foot trailer smelled a little musty.
