Comfortz sides vs. drive-away awning

Is there a natural place to store the rafter in transit?
I keep ours in the gap between the bench seat and the cupboard which I think was designed with ski equipment in mind. Someone said on here that put on it's side it could safely go on the top bed and would compress into the mattress when the roof is lowered.
It does just fit diagonally across the storage area at the back.
