Popular Post Coach and JoJo Posted March 22 Popular Post Share Posted March 22 We do not bring but a few clothes that need to hang. We felt like we were losing so much storage area. I built shelves to fill the lower area of the closet. That curve is a bugger to work with. Shelves have a 4" lip in the front to help hold the gear. They are not perfect but work well. 2 26 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Dehne Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Very nice Job. It’s a tough space to organize for sure. We tend to carry different items with the season’s. We will get it figured out one day. 3 John & Chris Dehne Manchester, MD. 2021 Elite II twin Hull# 901 “Fiberbeergrass” 2021 Ram 2500 Cummins 4x4 Life is good!

MAX Burner Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Your closet upgrade is fantastic! I'm thinking it's begging for a nice secure wine rack! Ha! Heck -- a few bungie cords over the top of the bottles...

Also what you would do different if you had known.

John E Davies Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Are they free standing other that the screws into the floor? You might consider adding a bead of adhesive along each of the curves to give it more strength, Please post some pics of the shelves with stuff on them. If you added stretchy cargo netting, you could fill them up and not risk having stuff tumble out, for example paper towels or boots. Thanks for posting.

Coach and JoJo Posted March 24 Author Share Posted March 24 Building Process: First I created a template of the floor with a piece of poster paper. I used 5/8 inch plywood to then produce a base piece. I then made two side pieces to go against the two straight walls (shelving board)...(first shelf is 12 1/2 inches tall from the base) They were attached to the base with an additional strip of wood. Nothing is screwed to the camper...I used a strip of window insulation around the edge of the curved surface to eliminate any rubbing against the fiberglass. I then used a piece of cardboard to create a template for the first shelf. I repeated the process with shelf 2. After completing the unit i unscrewed all parts, removed from closet and painted with gloss white paint. Then re-assembled the entire shelf. The post in the middle of each shelf is placed toward the back of the middle of the shelf for additional support. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlbertNTerri Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 so if i'm understaning, it is held in place by the pressure against the two flat walls with some "springy recoil" from the insulation strips along the back sides? ingenious!

Coach and JoJo Posted March 24 Author Share Posted March 24 YES, i cut the 2 sides a little long on purpose. then sanded them down till I had about 1/8" clearance. Used 1/4" rubber window roll insulation and forced it into the 1/8 " space. It AIN'T going nowhere!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
