Looking for pantry ideas

Are there any decent pre-made wood pantry shelving you'd recommend for one of the walls in my class C motorhome?

Canned goods,etc...
  • Unless you are a full timer, with no access to woodworking tools, it shouldn't be too hard to build one to your exact dimensions. I think I would use 1/2 inch plywood for the sides and back (front door?) piano hinge. use 1 x 2 horizontal supports on the sides to hold up the 1/2 inch shelves. You can use screen bead across the front of the shelves to dress them up. It's not Amish furniture but it would probably get the job done.
    Maybe a better idea is to do a Google search?
  • I added a 2 drawer unit from Lowes which slides out. You can see several sizes on the Lowes website - just search for "soft close cabinet inserts". I'd insert a picture of the mine but I don't know how to attach photos.

    I mounted something similar to THIS.
    Ours is wider than this one. DW said she bought it at the Container Store but I don't find an exact match on their website.
  • I improved our pantry and wardrobe as follows:






    The wardrobe had just a hanger rack, no drawers, and the pantry had these plastic standards that had spring loaded support brackets every couple of inches; each with very sharp points. Every time we'd reach in, we'd get scratched by thoses dang things. Also, the shelves were cut too narrow, and would fall occasionally. Rather than try to get the dealer to "fix" them, I replaced them.

  • I recently installed this in the “shirt cupboard” next to our refrigerator. $70 from Amazon.
  • EMD360, Do you have a link to that shelf? That looks perfect for what I have been looking for.
