One of the first things we noticed about our 177 was the lack of storage space  and a very uncomfortable bed  But we are planning a month-long trip to Alaska in August,So the bed was replaced with a 9" Euro-top mattress.

Nice write-up.

My Dad came through for me making me a drawer for storage under the front bunk on our 176.  All I had to do was stain and varnish.   The prior owner had already removed 1/2 of the top bunk.  The "seat back" is the 2" topper for the dinette bed that gets folded into fourths and secured with fabric straps that match the curtains.  I made a duvet type cover for it, so all you do is un-velcro the straps and lay it over the dinette cushions and add your top sheet and blanket. 

I'm so lucky to have a dad who likes to work with wood.  He also made me a mini-shelf that we mounted over the microwave.  Not a lot of storage, but every little bit helps. 


I know many of you are way ahead of us, but we will catch up!
