Four Wheel Camper Storage Ideas: Hang Duffels as Cabinets

Four Wheel Camper storage idea: a Patagonia duffel hung from each side of the ceiling with LoftLockers
Steve's Four Wheel Camper modifications: a duffel hung on each side

Duffels hanging as cabinets in a Four Wheel Camper (FWC).

Steve needed more storage in his Four Wheel Camper, and a way to get to his clothes without digging under the dinette, which is usually a bed for his two kids. He hung LoftLockers to turn Patagonia duffels into cabinets.

... should be a nice alternative to having to retrieve clothing from under the dinette which is usually in bed mode for the two kiddos.

— Steve

Steve's setup

Steve's dinette is usually in bed mode for his two kids, which makes clothes stored under it hard to reach. He wanted them up in the “dead space” between the canvas windows above the dinette.

For his ceiling storage, Steve hung his Patagonia duffels with two LoftLockers, one on each side. He wanted L-track behind them so he could use more screws to hold the L-track and the LoftLockers up.

How Steve did it

Steve shared photos of his truck camper storage mod as he went. Here is what they show.

01 The L-track

Steve mounted the L-track on a single framing member, behind the wooden strip on the ceiling.

02 The holes

He used blue tape to hold the L-track to the ceiling and mark his holes.

03 The LoftLocker

Each LoftLocker bolts to the L-track with L-track lugs.

04 The result

Steve's gear is up and within reach, with no digging under the dinette. One duffel on each side of the camper.

05 The roof down

With the FWC roof down, the LoftLockers don't interfere with the sides when they're folded up.
