RVer takes a fence to unused storage space

What do you get when you cross a collapsible ladder, a fence post and an RV? This:Long time RVer Mike Butler from Glendale, Arizona wanted a convenient place to store his collapsible ladder. So Mike chose a vinyl fence post available at most hardware stores and converted it into an RV storage device. He ran the length of hollow vinyl fence post along the empty space over his propane tank suspending it with plumbers tape (also available at hardware stores).The end caps are in the vinyl fence accessories section and make a nice finishing touch on this practical storage solution.What I liked best about this application was the retaining wire that holds the cap when the ladder is being extracted. Mike used an electrical wire connector with a solderless connection which he crimped onto a length of flexible wire. This is a great idea and can be used with any application where you need to allow a cap or connector to remain attached. A sewer cap, bumper cap, fresh water inlet cap, gas cap, and a windshield fluid reservoir cap are a few ideas for this application.
