Topic: 58x74 Dinette Cushion Storage Posted: 24 Apr 2014 at 2:59pm |
I have just returned from our second shakedown trip with our new to us 176. One dilemma that we have been faced with is the storage of the corner bolsters in the dinette at night when using the dinette as a bed. I really like these corner pieces when dining or just relaxing at the table. But at night it's impossible for me to find a spot to put these cushions inside the pod.
I'm hoping some of your brilliant folks with 172, 176, 178, or 182G have a solution for this.
Although I really like the corner bolsters, they may end up being stored in the basement and replaced with smaller throw pillows.

When we have the grandkids with us, we put the corners on the seat in the TV over night.

Thank you for your suggestion Marwayne. This is something we considered, but were hoping to come up with a solution that didn't involve running back and forth between Pod and TV.
I am going to steal your idea to put drawers under the bottom bunk. Hopefully my woodworking dad can help me out (as in do it for me)!

You could put them under the bed if you don't use the furnace.

Duh, that is so simple, I never thought about it. We rarely use the furnace.
Thanks.

We store them under the bunk. Never really change it over anyways. We tried under the table, but the lowered table kept that from working. Unless it seems necessary, we just leave them at home. Picnic table seems to work fine and the kids like to lay there and watch a movie at night.

All our misgivings about lack of storage in our RP-178 vanished when we began thinking of the unused storage space in our Tow Vehicle as an extension of the 'Pod. Why not throw those corner bolsters in your TV overnight? 'Geezer

This might not be the solution I was hoping for, but it might be the most practical if I can't jamb them under the bed. Since it was raining two of the mornings we were out - running back and forth to the TV wasn't high on my list. But heck, it can't rain every morning. can it? Thanks for all your input.

We also have a 176 - with the same problems with the bolsters and other cushions. We first put the bolsters upright snug against each other next to frig and entertainment center then put other cushions on top. Works great unless you're thirsty!

This would never work for us ... hubby always eating and drinking before he goes to bed. And yes, he is the skinny one!
