Outside Storage Compartments
Hello,
I would like to know what the total number of cubic feet of outside storage the 26.5 mid bath has? Also will a 14" tall x 17" wide x 18' long Webber Grill fit into one of the compartments. I was unable to find any cargo specification on any of the LD's.
Thanks,
Dan and Rita

"...18' long Webber Grill..."

I somehow believe that the 18 foot long Webber will fit, even if you were to cut it in pieces!   :o

Andy Baird posted the following a few years ago for his 2003 MidBath (search
 for Midbath Storage Measurements).

Could be measurements are a little different for newer models??

There's a little more to it that just the dimensions of the opening, since the interior space is larger and you can sometimes angle things in a way that make them fit through the opening. 

For example, I carry an air compressor that won't at all fit into the compartment under the couches unless you hold and . angle and twist it in just a certain way.  It's comical to watch me when I can't remember exactly the steps needed.

In the case of the Weber Grill, you can probably take the top off at the hinges, put the bottom into the compartment, and then put the top in place after that.  I had a cheap propane grill that I stored like that until the bottom rusted out.

Dan and Rita,

There are many outdoor cooking options for LD use. We actually carry 3 separate devices and may actually take less storage space than your beloved Weber.

We have the Eco-Que (Formerly the Pyro-Mid) 15” bbq/oven that folds flat (about 2” flat), the Coleman Fold-N-Go charcoal grill that folds to 9x5x8” approx. and the CampChef propane stove/grill about 13x10x3” approx. all store neatly away in a forward compartment/bay of our RB. 

It may seem like cooking overkill but each fits a particular need, condition and campground requirement.
