Default RV-6 storage idea


this shelf comes in handy for storing and accessing oil.

Default Nice

Cheap, functional and you don't have to empty half the baggage area to get to the oil.

Incidently Walmart carry a little oil filler tube made by blitz for 50c eah

It screws onto the top of the oil bottle and compresses to about 3" long but its a concertina tube that you pull out to be about 8" long...Makes a very nice filler and packs away to nothing and stores in a ziplock baggy.

Less mess that a funnel.

Here's my variation of a very good idea. Lightening holes are optional.

Default Lightening "Holes"

At first I sez to myself: "Lightening Holes? I don't see no stinkin' lightening holes!"

It took me a minute or so to see your clever work! Nice!
