Cushion storage

Our grandsons are going camping with us over Thanksgiving so we are putting the cushions that go on the drop down table in the trailer. The owners manual shows them stored in the arms of the sofa. I think I could force them in there but I'm not sure I could get them out. Has anyone successfully done this?

Hi

That's where we store them. They are indeed fun to get in and out. They also are a bit crushed by being stored there.

This next year we likely will leave them home and put something else in the arms of the sofa. ( maybe 9,231 ping pong balls ).

Thanks Bob, I wasn't sure if I could get them out once I got them in there.

We use couch as food dry storage. Chicken stock, ramen, extra paper towels, soap, etc.

Our cushions are stored along the back wall of the closet. Out clothes and storage drawers in closet hold them back nicely. It’s a pain to get them out but considering how many visitors we get, it’s never been a problem.

Great idea. What kind of storage drawers do you use in the closet?

Hi

One concern when storing food: You can get mice in your trailer. If there is a food source they can easily get to, they will settle in to domestic life ( = you soon will have lots of mice). They can't get into canned food and don't eat paper ( they do build nests from it). We store anything that could be "chewed into" in fairly substantial containers.

We store ours under the lift up queen bed along with linens and extra pillow. Use couch sides for other misc items.
