Moving dolly for storing your stuff

Postby les45 » Mon Aug 26, 2013 2:48 pm

If you park your TD inside your garage, you probably store some of your camping gear under the trailer. I found that these little moving dollies from Harbor Freight (about $8 on sale) and the medium size plastic bins with lids make a great way to store and access your stuff. The plastic bins make it convenient to store and haul by simply throwing them in the front of the cabin when traveling. I keep everything from extension cords to spare hubs in the bins. The dolly is rated for 1,000 lbs and the swivel casters alone are worth double what you will pay for the dolly. You can even remove the casters and use them for other organizing projects around the garage or workshop.

What an excellent idea.
I have two of them kicking around in my shop from when we had to move furniture for the new carpet.
It'll be great to get them out of the shop.
Will put My Dutch ovens, waffle irons, etc. on them.
Thanks for the idea, :D Danny

I think it's a great idea! I believe that it was Slowcowboy who mentioned that he does that, too.
Most everyone has (or should have) a set of furniture movers and some plastic bins laying around in their garage.

Besides using them to move heavy furniture, I've also used furniture movers (moving dollies) to move walls and large sheets of plywood when alone and moving them long distances. You just have to balance them on the mover-dolly and push everything along.

I've been using two of the dollies under the Silver Shadow since early summer. I put my outdoor rugs, chair and canopy on them. It sure is a great way to not forget stuff!
