Popular Post Mountainman198 Posted January 11 Popular Post Share Posted January 11 Tired of my books scattered all over the trailer and staring at the wasted space under the streetside twin bed “wing”, I installed three plastic bins that I found at Target ($6/ea) and installed using command velcro strips so they can be easily removed for cleaning. Now my books have a home, are easy to access while in bed and don’t fly around on rough roads. Bin dimensions/ea are roughly 5”Hx5”Wx14.5”L. I installed them about mid-way up the wall under the bed so there is still toe room underneath and books can still be removed easily. 2 11 4 2021 Elite II, Hull# 898 2018 Toyota Tundra, 2003 Dodge Ram 3500 5.9l SRW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wandering Sagebrush Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I really like this, but my dogs wouldn’t. Fritz is over 90 pounds, and has to back out of the aisle. Ketzel is over 70, but can still turn around there. 2 Hull #364 - The Roadrunner 2023 F350 CCLB SRW 6.7L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Dorrer Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Great idea. The bed overhang makes it hard for our lab, which helps keep her away from the return air vent. These would further help. At night her bed is up by the fridge.

Moderators Mike and Carol Posted January 12 Moderators Share Posted January 12 What a great idea. This is a good space for shoe storage as well. We implemented this after @mountainoliver showed us what they did. 5 2 Texas Hill Country | 2016 Elite II #135 | 2020 Ram 2500 6.7L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jd1923 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Great idea, really like this mod @Mountainman198! We're not big readers, so one book, one bin, would be enough for us, while leaving more room for our dog down below as @Wandering Sagebrush mentioned. If it's in reach when lying in bed, it's a good spot to place your phone when going to sleep and other needs too. Does anybody have a good idea for hanging a bedside water bottle, or some kind of cupholder? Mounted above the bed would be preferred, while positioned so your arms wouldn't bang into it while sleeping. Thanks Chris & John in Prescott, AZ | 2016 EII #113 | '01 Ram 2500 Cummins!

Galway Girl Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Maybe this... We use one of these Hasko cup holders in our Bathroom for toothbrushes. They have a strong suction cup that sticks like crazy to the Ollie fiberglass. It can pivot a bit for adjustment on the curved wall. It comes with the cup but it can be removed and a typical store water bottle fits. It's called the HASKO accessories - Suction Cup Toothbrush Holder We feature it in our blog here along with other suction cup storage holders. https://4-ever-hitched.com/ggs-blog/f/our-top-6---storage-products 2 2019 Elite II (Hull 505 - Galway Girl - August 7, 2019 Delivery) Tow Vehicle: 2021 F350 King Ranch, FX4, MaxTow Package, 10 Speed, 3.55 Rear Axle Batteries Upgrade: Dual 315GTX Lithionics Lithiums - 630AH Total Inverter/Charger: Xantrex 2000Pro Travel BLOG: https://4-ever-hitched.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, these look well made. And sorry, @Mountainman198 for adding a tangent to your thread. Question, does the pearl white cup come out of the chrome frame easily? This way you could likely fit a thermos style cup in the holder. Thanks again to both of you. Chris & John in Prescott, AZ | 2016 EII #113 | '01 Ram 2500 Cummins!

mountainoliver Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Steph and Dud B, I originally used a 4x4 vinyl fence post (may have been a vinyl cover for a 4x4 post). Just make one cut on opposite sides so that there is a short section and a long section on the opposite sides. That makes two shelves. Cut to length to suit and I used maybe four Command strips to attach it to the wall. Mine have been attached for about six years. Others have copied the idea and made a great improvement by using a vinyl cover for a 6x6 post. A much better choice as they can hold shoes better. Others have also added a small bar type of drawer pull at each end which keeps shoes from falling off the shelf. 2 2 2017 Elite II, Hull #208 2019 Chevy HD 2500 Duramax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Ken explains above, a 4X4 vinyl fence post makes a couple of shelves. I looked but couldn’t find a 6X6 when I was motivated to do this. It’s an easy mod but very useful!
