Fishing Pole Holder:

In the 2016 Vegas 24.1 (E350) there is an area under the driver's seats that is accessible on the outside from both sides of the unit. In that space there is a thin space 4 plus inches high by 26 inches wide. I am building a mount that will use 5 tubes of 1 1/2 inch by 5 foot PVC pipe to store my fishing poles.

I have drilled 2 inch holes in a 15 inch piece of 1X4 secured to a piece of 1X2 with nails and glue. I will mount the frames to the underside (just inside where the chairs are bolted to the floor) run the PVC pipe across, glue some 1 inch sleeves cut from 2 inch PVC on both sides of the frames to lock it in place. I have notched the 5 foot PVC to allow the reels to hang down and will secure the rods in place with a bungie cord anchored to pipe one and pipe five and weaved up and over the fishing reels.

I will be painting the wood frames tomorrow and get it installed once it quits raining. I'll post a completed project picture then.
