Many thanks to Vann for his inspiration!!  I was able to nearly duplicate his method of creating a shelf at the foot of the bed.  For the shelf I used left over wainscoting plywood, corner trim molding and for support directly under the shelf a split closet rod.  I fashioned for wall supports using some wood I had and attached at the endwall using screws and construction adhesive.  I attached the side wall supports to the wall where the aluminum frame is located next to the window and wardrobe.  In addition to this I moved the TV (another inspiration from Vann) down since it really is at a odd height to be enjoyable  also  it was in the way of the shelf.  I added support inside the wardrobe to carry the load of the TV and the shelf support.  A bit of calk and touchup paint should complete it.  A great space saver mod!

	Here are some pictures in our 179. It is different because we ran our shelf front to back instead of side to side Vann

	There are lots of posts about adding shelves, especially in the "List your mods" string. It all depends on your model and where exactly you want to add the shelf. Best off just searching "shelf" in the search tool. As far as anchoring, some simple wall anchors will do, but you have to remember that the walls are thin and there are few "studs" to anchor in. Often people have used the window valence along with wall anchors to provide the support. Check out http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=842&KW=mods&PN=65&title=list-your-mods for my shelf post in a 178. Hope this helps!:-)

	Wondering who has added single shelves across front above bed? What did you use for anchors, and into what bracing? Just wondering of process. Wanted something to store ebags, etc. thanks. Tom
