Topic: Hanging Shelf Above Bed on 179 Posted: 12 Mar 2019 at 8:44am |
Good morning everyone-
Wife Gail starting to get real excited. We pickup our new 10th Anniversary 179 from RVNation just outside Cincinnati on April 18th. She’s thinking of installing a shelf above our bed, and is looking for ideas on how best to do it. Any and all comments and suggestions welcome. Thanks much, Jack 2019 1/2 10th Anniversary Rpod 179 2005 GMC Envoy SLT

My suggestion is to go camping first and see how you actually use the space. There is a nice spot under the forward ottoman for extra bedding, and you can use the under bed area as long as you keep the area directly in front of the furnace clear.
We find the storage in our 179 just fine without any extra shelving and I personally would feel claustrophobic with something over my head above the bed. Just my $0.02.

My wife isn’t planning to use her proposed shelf for storage- rather, simply forbdecoration purposes.
As she envisions it, said hanging shelf would be disconnected from above when we’re not camping.
Jack Happy wife, happy life! |

Our cats use our shelf. It provides a nice, high sleeping platform.
You can also pry loose the cover on the forward ottoman and add a shelf over the slide motor in there for even more storage. |

The newer RPods use the Schwintek system that has no slide motor below. They are high up on both sides of the slide-out. The front 179 ottoman is empty. The rear one has some wires and gas lines running through it. I built a cover for the wires so I have some storage in the rear ottoman also.

I really like that! How did you mount the front support?
