Thanks Cody91!
The shelving came from Lowes. 
It's called Roth + Allen.
It comes in 72" length which is just about two inches short of the distance from each side wall.
I used  four 3" steel corner braces to attach to the side walls.
I first removed the valance and mini blinds and using Molly bolts attached them to the walls.
I mounted it just above the lights and have experienced no headbanging even at my 6'4" height.
Have ordered a 2 1/2" galley rail (like the one above the refrigerator) to attach to help keep loose items from falling off.
The rear shelf is the same closet shelf cut in half and attached the same way.

That's really cool.  Where did you get the shelf over the dining area and what did you use to secure it?

One of the first things we noticed about our 177 was the lack of storage space Cry and a very uncomfortable bed Ouch But we are planning a month-long trip to Alaska in August,So the bed was replaced with a 9" Euro-top mattress.
Added a couple of space saving items.
Installed a mirror on the bathroom door.
A stove cover/cutting board
A few needed bathroom bathroom accessories.
Replaced the light bulbs with battery saving LEDs
Built shelves for some light storage
And a personalized license plate of course!Smile

When folded down, the measurement is 2 inches.

A question on your table mod:

Can you tell me, please, when the table is folded down, what is the horizontal measurement from the wall to the table top surface?

I am asking because we load my wife's (heavy) electric bike in the table area and the dimensions are tight. If the table sticks out too far then we cannot copy your excellent example. FYI, the bike rear wheel is secured in a channel mounted on a plywood sheet and then the bike is secured with tie-downs from under the seats. Inverted, the plywood base then becomes an outside table, mounted atop the wheel mudguard. A step stool is used for legs.
Thanks, ilthyn

We can still use the dinette as a bed. If we plan on having company We have a thick piece of plywood that will extend across both seats with table folded down. It would only be kids using it

Added a fantastic vent ultra breeze cover with bug screen. Now the vent can stay open in foul weather. I might add that the people at the manufacturer are the best, as I needed a replacement part!!!

Keenan,

You are not going to use the dinette as a bed?
