It's a 2011. It seemed dumb that they didn't build it like that from the factory since there was so much unused space... maybe a cost saving measure? Beats me...
I found the other post that inspired me (furpod about 2/3 down the page): |

Odd, what year is your 171? Mine came that way.

I've seen this one on here before and decided to try it myself. I converted the front half of the enclosed bench of my 171 into a storage area. Here are the pics:

Hi Happy Campers - the rods are universal track curtain rods from Country Curtains: http://www.countrycurtains.com/product/0303r843+universal+track+rod+set.do
They have brackets for the rods that attach to where you mount it. The rods also have built in hooks that slide on the rods. Nice set-up and very sturdy. |

BendPod,
The curtains are great! Are the rods tension rods, or are they attached? If attached, how/where? Thanks!

We put in a curtain tracks on both bunks so now we each have our own curtain to control light. Also didn't like that the bottom bunk didn't have wood trim like below the top bunk. Used Home Depot cherry (laminate) shelving cut to fit and installed below bottom bunk so they now match.

My clothes bar in the bathroom is gone. Both the plastic pockets that the bar slips in split and the screw pulled through the plastic and the bar fell down. I could replace the pockets but this works better for for us.

I know what you are saying about "clothes that can not be folded", I don't understand it because we are camping. As much as I have tried to get the other half to change her thinking it does not work, therefore the rod above the toilet is our clothes bar. I like your hanger and just got informed that she has seen those also but the bar works for her so no mods for now. Goose

I needed to find a place to hang some clothes. Apparently my wife has clothing that cannot be folded. I found this hanger at a Zellers Store here in Canada for $8 I wanted to hang it on the end of the microwave cabinet because this space on my 173 is really dead space it only had the cloth pockets on it which I am going to move to the wall outside the bathroom. The problem is the cabinet is only 1/4 inch plywood with a frame around it and would not hold a screw. ![]() ![]() Solution take out the microwave and glue and staple in a 1"x 2" stringer to mount the bracket on. Now My wife can hang some clothes and I am a hero. ![]() |
