Camper Back Panel Storage

Our CC23 Venture came with a full Isinglass camper back. Until we replace it with Screens, wondering where you store your camper panels when not in use? On our Ranger tug, there was cave storage under the dinette, and i kept isinglass panels rolled, and separated by old sheets. Screen panels were folded and put in flat storage tubs.

On the roof rack, i had something like the picture below, where i stored fishing rods and reels when not in use (boat lived in a wetslip). The covers lock and would deter, but not prevent theft. for the camper panels, a glued on end cap and opposite threaded end cap would suffice. What are good storage ideas (they will rarely be used in summer here on the St Johns River). We have the high radar arch, and plenty of room. Considering a 4 foot section of PVC where the panels can be stashed and remain protected and take up the already limited storage room. I could also suspend hanging loops on the less used (my wifes side) side of the V-Berth and hang them there. Less sightly and cumbersome for other uses of the v-berth. I tend to over solve things and looking for proven ideas and insights! See you in Hontoon in 10 days!

My wife made a Sunbrella storage bag that we could strap to the radar arch on the rare occasion we didn't have the full camperback up. When we stored the boat, that bag/contents would go inside the boat. Like you, we put no longer used blankets/beach towels between the eisenglass panels when in the storage bag.
 
Our 25 has a rack suspended under the center high part of the roof, which we put the rolled up panels (with old sheets). I don't know if the 23 would have enough "heard room for that.
