Storage Organization

[donreitz]

Our trips are starting to get longer which means we're carrying more things. This has gotten me to thinking about what systems other folks use for storing items in the outside compartments. For instance, I observed one individual who had a series of tackle/tool boxes lined up along the front of one of his compartments and he would reach into various boxes and pull out tools or other items he used when setting up his unit. This seemed pretty clever and highly organized. We have a few plastic milk crates we use, but mostly we just throw stuff in them with little thought of organization--not efficient at all.

So how do others keep their goods organized and within easy reach? Also, if you tow with a truck, what use do you make of the bed for storage?
Thanks,
Don
