I used these in the pantry, and in the wardrobes next to the bed. They have clips that can be adjusted about every half inch or so. I have had these in my pantry for two years and I put a lot of weight on my shelves. Can goods, water, etc.. never had a problem.  You can get them at lowes/home depot too.

Hi 1955Shoebox,
I want to replace those pantry shelf brackets too. Do you remember where you got them? They have to be kinda slim, and I didn’t find any that thin at Home Depot today. Thanks.

Sounds like great mods. Do you have any pictures of extending the bed to fit the queen mattress and the doors under the bed?

Nice mods. Double check to make sure the medicine cabinet is properly mounted to the studs and not just hanging on the 1/8" wall board. One fix you might consider, if changing the shelf brackets in the pantry hasn't already addressed it; I added quarter round in the corners inside the door frame on each side from just above the bottom shelf to just above the top one. The shelves kept sliding forward against the pantry door and blocking it till then. Also put a couple command hooks on the wall left of the sink to hang the sink cover on to get it out of the way and added a paper towel holder above the sink per DW's direction. Taking the ottomans out opens things up nicely. Can see why you put doors under the full queen bed; I just stored enough stuff there that it added too much to the tongue weight.  Have fun!

Be careful about adding dual cylinders and batteries, your tongue weight will go way up. Dual batts will add about 100 lbs and an additional cylinder about 40 lbs. If you need those mods you are probably a boon docker so might be carrying water too. Depending on what model you have that can add another 150-200 lbs to the tongue. You can easily end up well over 500 lbs, so be sure your tow vehicle is good for that. 

For dual batteries most folks go with two 6V golf cart batteries in series. Battery size is GC2. You will need new battery cases as well, and a single battery jumper. These will fit in the existing battery rack without modification. 

There are several mounting kits for dual cylinders available. You will need to remove the existing single tank and mount the new kit. You can get an automatic switchover too.

Congratulations and welcome! Did you do the mods or have them done? I'm especially interested in the dual tanks and batteries. And thanks for the font mod as I can read it!  lol

Congratulations on the 195!

I have a 196 on order and would be interested in seeing pictures of the pantry and wardrobe mods. 

Thanks.
