Best chair storage location?

I was wondering if anyone had any good recommendations for storing large folding camp chairs or gravity chairs?

I used to place them in the coach. Now I place them in the storage compartment under the Fiver hitch. It’s a huge pain on my knees and back as they have to be stood up on their side to fit. But they are protected and don’t beat up the coach interior.

I’ve seen a few strapped to the rear ladder?

Does this work well?

They will stay a lot cleaner riding inside.

True that’s why I currently stow in the basement of my Fiver.

Wish I had better side access to my basement.

Ours go in the storage/basement compartment but could go in the under bed storage. I would personally not put them on the ladder.

I agree about not putting them on the ladder.

Maybe I just need to convince the DW that we don’t need so many chairs...

I think I know the answer already.

We have a pull behind trailer (Hill Country 33BD) and so do not have a lot of space in outside storage. As a result, the camp chairs that will fit in a bag go under one of the dinette benches. Our larger chairs ride on top of a bed.

Our chairs that have covers go into the through + through, the other new style go between the sofa and dinette chairs. they behave well there snug like a bug in a rug and fortunately don't have to worry about any damage either to the dinette chairs or hid-a-bed because of there design.. Lets just say its a perfect location for our situation.

Thanks for all the replies.

I’m just going to leave them in the basement and convince the DW that we can thin the chair herd.

I haul two chairs in the front of the 5er. I told Barb, company will either have to bring their own chairs over, or sit at the picnic table.

I like your thinking. I have a family of 5. At last count I had 10 chairs stowed away.

Time to trim the herd to 5-6.

I talked to a guy last winter that cleaned out his 5er. He had 12 chairs in that thing.


I carry 4 plus beach chairs, all go in the front.

We wedge our gravity chairs between the wall and the bed with a moving quilt around them to protect the wall. Works well and is easy to get them in and out of the trailer. Other chairs go under the bed.
