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

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

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

Oops on above post...hit the wrong key. Meant to say very clever on mods. Thanks for sharing.

The cup holder also has a shelf above where I put the spices...when we are not moving.

We use the cabinet above the sink for our plates (oval), cups, bowls, paper plates, etc. We feel it's amazing how much fits up there in a pretty orderly fashion. We use the two drawers for cutlery, cooking utensils, scissors, etc. We also put up a narrow wire basket (amazing what you can find at Bed, Bath and Beyond) on the right slide wall above the stove for spices and an under-cabinet paper towel holder. We put our coffee mugs and coffee/hot chocolate above the frig. We have a baby Kuerig Coffee Maker, so we put up Command Hooks so that we could bungee cord it in place on the counter when we're traveling. Under the fridge we put a canvas container where we put all of our extra T-paper, paper towels, canned goods, etc. We also have a larger canvas container where we put chips, granola bars, cereal/cracker boxes, etc. that we store under the kitchen table.

Our children purchased for us at REI the most wonderful set of pans (like a mess kit). The pans do not have handles, and they come in a nest. There is a large skillet, a large pan, a small pan, a set of 4 durable plastic plates, a set of 4 durable plastic mugs/cups. In one of the mugs is stored the removable handle for all of the pots and pans. It takes up so little space. We also moved the plumbing under the sink to make more room for an open area. Besides the mess kit, we keep two cutting boards, dish soap, a measuring cup, a square Pyrex pan with lid, an over-the-fire grilling pan (that has a rotating handle). Under the driver side bench, we moved all the electrical wires to one side so that half could be additional storage space there. We have a crock pot, a toaster, a small three-drawer container for fuses, batteries, junk. On the wall by the front door (where the wall to the bath is located), we have hung with 4 of the strongest Command Strip Hooks a hanging linen-colored shoe pouch that hangs almost from floor to ceiling (25 pouches). We put all kinds of things in those pouches like combs/brushes, sun screen, tape, note paper, flashlights, gloves (you could put kitchen stuff in there). We do have to take that off of the wall when we're traveling and lay it across the bed. We also put up a tension rod in the bedroom area across the width of the pod and hung a set of linen shelves that match the color and style of the shoe pouch (may seem silly, but aesthetics are important to us)where we put our dish drain mat (a real space-saver), our Kuerig cups (stored in Glad containers), lots of stuff. This we can leave up as long as we only put light-weight things in it.

Under the queen bed we have two canvas containers that we have tied together at the grommets like a train. We pull it out from under the bed;and one of us uses the front one, and one of us uses the back one for clothes. Under the passenger side front bench storage we have two more canvas bags where we store clothes that we don't need all of the time and our extra shoes, manuals for the pod/appliances/etc.

Our goal was to have a few mods but not to ruin the integrity of the original product. I think we've achieved that pretty well using what is already available to us in this wonderful little camper. P.S. Command Strips and Hooks are a MUST! Sorry this was so long.

Wow! I am impressed. Sounds like very clever, well thought out use of storage without changing the features of the R- Pod. Great ideas. Thanks for sharing and I appreciate the detail and length of the post. Happy traveling.

P.S. techntrek, could you add a second "d" to my name. It should be CaperPodder.
