   +1 on Nice work!
I also don't think I would like to take that much space for trash and recycling. However, I would like to do some sort of slide-out for access to the back end of the cabinet. I use wooden crates and wire mesh bins now, but the slide-out would make things much easier for access.

This is the type of thing that makes this forum such a useful place. Thank you for sharing your modifications.

	Really nice work. If you have a little spare time, we'd appreciate it if we could drop our Pod off for a few improvements.

	Thank you. Yes, this a ton of space for those things. We are tent campers, so even without this space we still have no idea how we could fill what is left. It is rare to see a recycling bin at a campground around here so that will often get hauled home. This is enough space for about 2 weeks worth of trash and recycling for us so Boone docking is going to be awesome now.

	I think you did an outstanding job building this, but I don't think I would want to dedicate this much space to recycling (or even garbage) on an R-pod. This is more space than we use at home. So maybe something about half this size, with the remainder for something else. If nothing else the slide out is an excellent way to get to a hard to reach space.

	We are trying to tackle as many of the logistical issues as we can while winter keeps us home. One of those is trash and the other is recyclables. I am a firm believer that MAN MADE global warming is way over blown, trash and environment destruction is something that can be fixed right now by all of us. I believe we were put here to be stewards. With that said I did some measuring and browsing on amazon and I came up with this. The screws and instructions that come with this are trash in my opinion. Other than that I am pretty happy with the system. As you 179ers know, this is not a real cabinet here. That complicated this project a lot. So this is what I have come up with.

	I got the new sewer hose storage tube mounted up today. This turned out to be more complicated than I expected do to having to use the addition bracket. I used self tapping screws and attached the brackets to the frame. I will add some SS pipe strapping on the inside of this and to both dump valves. I would still like to find some kinda of box that can hold the hose support so that all the sewer items out out of the internal storage.
