List Your Mods:

We have made a few "mods" to our 2016-178. I have seen several shelves added above the bed. We wanted ours to be removable and found that the window valance is very sturdy. We reinforced the back of a section of wire closet shelving with a 1x2 board and attached it with the standard shelving mounting brackets. We put the rubber caps on the ends to keep from damaging the walls. We take it down as part of our tear-down at the end of a trip. Pictures below:

My pillows are against the wall, of course the bed doesn't face that way

Another "mod" we have made to our 178 is to the small shelf under the TV. We added a board with a galley railing... just gives a little more storage room. We will be adding another shelf, similar to this one, above the microwave.

Thanks for the pics of your shelf! Hope to do that this weekend to our 2014 178. What length shelf did you use? The width from wall to wall is about 74". Did you use an 8 ft. shelf and cut in down? 

We used a 6ft shelf. It lays in there perfectly. Just put the rubber caps on the ends to protect the walls.
