34. Back inside- We did not like that the cupboard doors over the sink opened out (hinges on sides).
So we moved the hinges to the top, moved the handles to the bottom...
...and added spring loaded door struts to keep them open.
The difference is night and day. Before we had to back up to keep the doors from hitting our face as we opened them. Then while they were open they were sitting out in the walkway at face level.
Now they can sit open above head level, not blocking anything.
35. While working on the cupboards we also added shelves and non-slip inserts. These allow us to use all the space without having to stack and un-stack to get to something.
Much Better!
36. While in the shelf making mode...we put this one at the head of the bed. It is a nice little alcove, but it is 3 feet tall, by putting this shelf in the middle we have much more usable space.
37. While we were at it we put Two More shelves here...at the heights that worked for us on what we wanted to use them for...effectively doubling our usable space.
38. Below the microwave is a cupboard door. It had a false wall set in at an angle. This resulted in the available storage space angling from 4" deep to 10" deep. Not really very useful.
I know why they did it...it was an easy way to wall off the propane hose that is routed up to the stove. But they way they did it really wasted a bunch of space.
I moved the wall back a good distance. I also put a foam noodle around the hose to give it some protection.
We now have a space that is 16" deep. Much better!
39. Since we have been doing a lot of cold weather traveling, we picked up this little gem. A DampRid. It is doing a nice job at helping keep it dry inside.
You can see the liquid in the bottom that has collected.
We thought we may need a dehumidifier, but between running our heat, keeping a ceiling vent cracked and this, we are not having any condensation inside.
40. The trailer came with a nice clock...I thought...but Mary could hear it ticking at night. Yep, she's got much better hearing than I.
So this clock is silent, and now in place of the OEM clock.
More mods coming as I have time to take pics and post them up.
