Very timely post. Thanks. Since we bought our camper in '18, my wife has been asking for shelves in the wardrobe. I've been slow to respond due to the thin paneling inside. I managed to find this video yesterday. I shared many of this lady's concerns, so I began my own no-drill solution. 2X4s will take up too much space, so I've got 2X2s in the back and 1X2s in the front. Unlike the video, I'll shape the shelves to fit around the supports so less space is wasted. It won't be anywhere near as pretty as Jeff's work, but I think It'll be functional. Starting with two shelves up high, but more can be added later if desired. Removable for trips where we really want to hang clothing, or for the next owner.
My setup is pretty easy to remove and solid with only 6 screws attaching inconspicuously into the TC framing, not the paneling. It can be easily removed if needed but I opted to go for a more permanent and solid install, rather than an easily removed install since this is a setup we both agree we want more than a wardrobe. Also, we've been using it this way for years so we're pretty confident there will be no going back. My brother is already thinking of copying the design in his S&S as he is doing something similar but with wire racks he hates. I spent about 75.00 on materials and about 2 hours measuring, cutting, installing. A fairly simple project. hope it works out for you. If you do have any detail questions, give me a hollar...
