What do you keep in your gas locker?

Don't block your gas vents!

I've covered this subject before but it bears repeating. The problem is that many motorhomes are lacking in storage space, particularly outside storage, and the gas locker can often appear to be underused, but it is called a gas locker for a reason - its purpose is simply to store gas cylinders.

On a recent habitation inspection I spotted rags covering the gas dropout grill in the bottom of the locker while the vehicle was up on the lift. Once the motorhome was back on the ground I opened the gas locker to find cloths and a spray can completely blocking the dropout grill, as well as a Frisbee and window mop in the locker.
