Electric Cable Holder

Apr 242011

I finally have a few days of decent weather so it was time to start prepping the new Cruiser. Lots of things on the table to do so I started on some simple items that will help make my trips easier and more organized.

One thing I have always felt was a pain was what to do with the electric cord when storing it. No matter where I put there always seemed to be something on top of it or it was a tangled mess when I wanted to plug in. When I stop to camp it is normally one of the first things I get out and one of the last things I put away when I leave. I wanted to put it in a place that was easy to get to and wouldn't get tangled in everything else. The problem is that just laying in on the floor of the basement isn't always possible because of all the other stuff packed in there. It just lays on top of other things and get tangled up with whatever else is there.

While roaming the isles of WalMart I found a large hook that you would normally use in your home garage for hanging hoses, cords and even bikes. I attached this hook to the front wall of the trailer's basement. It is wide enough to hold the electric cable, the extension cord and even the Progressive Industries surge protector.

It is now up against the wall away from other things and is right there when you open the basement door. This is a simple solution that should help eliminate the problems I have seem to have every time I hook up.

One small project down, many more to go!
