I do not believe that it opens to the basement. it should just be a box in the floor.

Seems to me like a good entry point for a burglar but then I look at things from a cop point of view.

So duh, why do they call it a laundry chute, when it's the best place to store your booze and water and doesn't drop to the basement like a laundry chute should? It would be nice to have a laundry basket waiting for those dirty clothes and not smelling up your rig. LOL

We use our "laundry chute" for booze/water/central vac equip, etc. Unfortunately, Dale needed to reinforce the bottom of the "chute" as it was falling out....great place for anything but dirty laundry! :angel:

Wow.. Intresting thread..
We use the laundary bin (it is not a shute) as it was intended, to keep our dirty clothing. Infact I like it the way it is. I had a SOB that had a "Laundry Shute" that actually went into the basement. I closed it off. It let cold air into the living area. You had to keep a space open for a basket or such in the basement, then move everything around to get it out. I like the one in my Bighorn.
I do not put a basket in the bin because it is difficult to pull out, limits the amount of clothes, Paper towels, toilet paper and such I can put in there.
What I want to do is put a strut on it to hold it open when I put stuff in it and take some out.
So in my poor humble opinion.. Thanks Heartland and don't change it...

P.S. My clothes don't stink either.. If you don't wear them for more than a week it will cut the odor down...

Bob and others,
Here is a simple fix for the lid to the bin.

Nice mod. I hadn't thought of putting a latch on like that.

I remember seeing a few trailers back when we were shopping that had laundry chutes that went into the basement. My concern would be that people could then have easy access to the inside of the trailer, given that every manufacturer uses the same "751" key. What is up with that anyways? Car manufacturers don't all use the same key on the trunks.
