Those of you who have been on the road for a couple of years, do you wish for more storage space. I think one area that (small) fifth wheelers may be a let down is with storage. I have gone and brought an extra cab ute, with the idea that the hitch would be placed over the back wheels of the ute, perhaps a dual ca...

However the wife keeps g...
