Storage Addition 182G

Well, we bought a new 182G in 2011. Absolutely love it (especially the gargage), but disappointed in interior storage and those 10 cent valances over the forward windows. Over the winter I built these shelves to help with both problems. They are 4 inches deep and made from aspen purchased from Lowes. Right and left side are identical. I'm a little disappointed in the color match, but it's not as bad as the pictures suggest. Also, I need to add some stretchy mesh to keeps things in place while towing. If anyone has any suggestions about where to buy, please advise. Other ideas also welcome. I used the fabric from the old valances to create new ones. Curtains are compliments of my wife and install with spring loaded rods. I still need to fill the nail holes (didn't think they would show in the pics). Let us know what you think.

Very nice.  Really like the idea of curtains.

I'm not a fan of the meshy thing.  However, I like the storage shelf idea.  I'm wondering if it could be made to bump out a bit more and then to install a door on them that would either open up or down.
