Frame mounted storage ideas.

Hey,

I am curious to see if anybody has used the space between the frame and the rockers on their van to mount and store ''stuff''. there seems to be quite a bit of wasted space in that area on both sides of the van.

I plan on putting the air compressor and tank under in that area but not sure how much protection/ventillation the compresssor would require. I assume that is where on board propane is also usually mounted. I have seen auxiliary batteries and water tanks mounted along the frame as well.

Have you guys used that area to put other things ? boxes of cargo, recovery gear...?

Or is it better to using that area because of road debris flying onto them.

I used a piece of angle steel to mount my viair compressor and tank. Then mounted the angle to the driver's side rail. Low cost Easy project.

I’ve put lots of stuff there. EB Fords have a nice bit in the rear corners. I shoved a 7 gallon Aquatainer there in my first van for an outside water source. Worked great. Bungees held it there for 2 years.
