Then we put up a set of shelves near the sink to hold toothbrushes, soaps, etc.

We use the cabinet below the sink to store our dishes, glasses, drainer and cutting boards.

Nice job on the mod. I'd love to see the under dinette seat mod.

Two pictures of the rack. In the retracted position you can see I installed a velcro strap for retention of the rack when traveling.

Lena,
We have a 177, and I agree with you about the kitchen storage...not well thought out and minimizing what you carry only gets one so far. We camp almost exclusively off the grid, so I removed the microwave/convection oven and installed a pull out wire rack in that large cabinet space...made life much nicer for us. Now the pots and pans are off ground. I can store some dry goods on the same shelf, and keep the back up foods under the dinette. Of note, I also created additional storage in the drivers side of the dinette which is not there when delivered from the factory. Pics soon, if I can find them. Alan

I thought I had done so. My plates, glasses, collapsible wine glasses, kitchen utensils and all silverware fit in the 2 little drawers under the sink. That would work in the 178. My concern is that the only cabinet appeared to have about 12 inches of useable space d/t the bumpout and there are 2 false cab fronts below which would be nice if there was accessible space behind...but doesn't appear to be. The shelf/cab across the top of the bumpout is very narrow and is questionable as to whether anything but condiments would fit. My entire cooking and eating supplies fit in a 24inch Rubbermaid tub over winter, so I think I was pretty minimal? Yes, the space under the frig could hold pots....I didn't like the idea of putting them directly on the floor and having only mesh to cover. Maybe this is because we traveled lots of miles on dusty roads on the kast trip? Would love to hear from a few more folks. Thanks for your replies.
I would love to hear from other |
