Time to bump this up.

My favorite extra is a tension rod that we put in the shower to hang wet things. Only need to use it where there isn't any place to dry outdoors.

I'm looking for a net system to go on top of a couple of cabinets approx. 5' long. (to keep items in place while traveling). What have others used for this?
I know some are used in the trunks & back of suv's. I suppose I could find some in an auto salvage. But are any made for camper use? Thanks for any replies.

Could you buy one made for toys and modify it for your needs?

An elastic net is what I'm considering, the top of the cabinet has a recess area I'm trying to make better use of. The height would only need to be 8-12".
Some of those nets might work if I could cut to size & reattach a good edge.

Have posted this before but didn't see it listed here. FREE awning lock. take and re-bend your awning rod so the top bend is about 4 inches long. Now take the rod and slide it into the hole in the end of the awning tube (this is the same hole that the pull down strap slides in). The rod will now be hanging down along the rear awning arm. Take a length of rope and run it through the loop on the bottom of the awning rod now run the rope through the hole in the foot of the awning leg. Tie the ends together and your awning is locked the wind will not be able to open it while traveling down the road. And you know where your awning rod is.
