Jemstone Posted July 3, 2016 Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 Our Volvo 730 has two closets behind the seats. I have a subwoofer in the bottom of one, but they are otherwise empty. Anyone found a creative use for the closets?

Where the Porta Potty is stored, you do have a porta potty in your motorhome, correct? Spare filters and other items recommended by the HDT gurus.

SuiteSuccess Posted July 3, 2016 Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 Let's see. I have three plastic tubs, tub 1 has wire, wire loom, crimpers, and all things electrical. Tub 2 has spare air governor, spare leveling valve, various lengths and sizes of air hose (connectors are stored elsewhere). Tub 3 miscellaneous "stuff" new fuel tank rubber strap, headlight trim Etc. Below that I have a small storage cab with my drill, a jig saw, 4/0 & 3/0 cable, a wheel lug buster, and all my impact extensions and sockets. Oh, BTW also have an ax in the top closet for firewood.

You are correct Phil BUT (not butt) we needed the Porta Potty to get re classed as a motorhome in MI. It was one of the requirements. It is still sealed and unused and under the bed. They said we had to have it not that we had to use it. Brad Almost forgot. The closet also holds Christmas decorations for the truck.

Jack Mayer Posted July 4, 2016 Report Share Posted July 4, 2016 Well, IF you ever really NEED that porta potty you will be glad it is there. We have one in our truck, ready to use (not in a box). We don't use it, but it is there if needed. Each to their own. I probably don't need the spare parts I carry either.....but I'm glad to have them with me.

budeneighe Posted July 4, 2016 Report Share Posted July 4, 2016 As one gets older, the valves and gaskets start to leak and sometimes suddenly blow out. That's when it is nice to have a porta-potti right inside instead of on the other side of the parking lot.

Ronbo Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 You have to have it when you convert from HDT to RV. Does the law say it has to be maintained? What if I remove it from my motor home or 5th wheel. Does that mean it is no longer a RV?

Alie&Jim's Carrilite Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 South Dakota, porta potty is 1 of 5-7 things you need to qualify for motorhome status. It's not required but is on the list of items to choose from.

RickW Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 Drivers Side: Removed the doors and fridge fits there perfectly. Passengers side left alone. Store extra clothing there. Mostly cold weather stuff. Comes in handy when we start the day off in one clement and then find ourselves in a different clement later in the day. The lower half of the closet (shoe closet) has the emergency cat pan. Not regularly used but on a long day and the cat needs a potty break all we have to do is open the door. Also keeps the dog out of it and not in our way. 2017 Entegra Anthem 44A SOLD - 2004 Volvo 780. 465hp and 10sp Auto Shift (from 2010~2017) SOLD - 2009 Montana 3400RL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
