Well, weather made it up to 50 degrees yesterday, so I did a few mods to the 5th wheel. I added added a 39" led tv, put a receiver with a powered sub woofer and built the speakers in. I also added a mini fridge. The tv swings out for easy viewing at any angle!

The modification you did on the pantry is not only fantastic, but beneficial. I too had to modify ours. It had four shelves and were about 32" deep, which made it impossible to reach the back items without removing the front items. To keep from removing the shelves to do what you did, I just built four pull out drawers. The DW is very satisfied with the mod. To keep the pantry door shut while traveling I used an item I found at the Babies R Us store. It is an ingenious device. You lock it before you travel and use the magnet to unlock it when you get to your destination. Since the locking mechanism is on the inside of the door (or drawer) it makes for a very clean look. Works like a charm.

Just bought a new 5er and there was no real shelf space added 4 shelves that pull out they are 24x10.5 and does it make a difference, we also took the coat closet and added shelves and the wife loves it she now has a reals pantry.

Great looking pullout & nice tv & sound system. Ours has a pantry similar to yours. It has 6 shelves & I built pullout slider drawers for 3 of them, Does make getting to things a heck of allot easier.

You have that right, it's been a lonnnnggggg winter, and with a half a foot coming late tonight/tomorrow, looks like spring is still just out of reach! We leave April 1st for kentucky for a week, hope the weather straightens up by then! May 1st we put it on our seasonal site for the summer!

Rob8484,

Great pull out 😉

We would like to do the same. Our Raptor 3602rl has a pantry, that look like the same size as yours, but there stuff in the back we can't get to (or want too get to now).

Was there a package you got, or was it custom?


It was all custom, just built it as I went. Each shelf is not equally spaced, one self is just the right size for can goods, one shelf lage enough for cereal boxes and so on! I'm pretty pleased with it!

I like the pull out pantry too. Our Open Range came with one like that. Makes it much easier reaching something in back. Nice mod.
