Where to store tanks in an RV?

Lived in one for five years

Put them here

Our rv had storage under the bed. Bit of a pita to get stuff in/out but plenty of space and cosmetics aren’t as much of an issue.

That’s a good spot also but that’s where we kept things we need access to like coats and cases of bulk food items.

I found a good secure place for them on the dinette seats. It's just my Wife and dog and I traveling so we don't need all the seating area. The two tanks are strapped together with a cinch strap and then strapped onto the seat with both sets of seat belts. They're not going anyplace. They're laying down during travel but I set them upright when we're parked.

Why such a tiny scuba RV?

We wanted to stay on the beach at Camp Pendleton or Coronado

We would go home on the weekends

Seems an acceptable solution. However, if possible, I think I would prefer storing the couple of cylinders strapped down inside a storage compartment accessible from outside the cabin, out of sight. This would address issues of safety, clutter, and dirt and grime being brought into the cabin from outside.

Your interior real estate is very precious

Looks like quite a nice scuba RV--even though slide-out compartments (is that what they're called?) give me a bit of the willies. I imagine touring down the road and then having the slide-out suddenly "decide" to slide out! At 70 mph!! Probably can't happen, but still ...!

Yeah, that doesn't happen, (slide outs just sliding out). They're on rails with "teeth", a motor akin to a motorcycle starter motor has a corresponding gear to move them in/out.

Slideouts give you an impressive addition of space.
