I was in the camper today scoping out all the work I have to do, good grief will I ever get it done ? I noticed the interior cabinets are held in with a combination of straight head screws, phillips and clutch head. I will replace all of the screws with the same type. Should I use aluminum screws ? Or stainless or just plain steel ? After looking at the existing cabinets it's going to be a challenge to refurbish them but the frames and doors are in good shape it's the horizontal pieces ( shelves ) that are in rough shape. Has anyone gone with a cabinet system that is deeper than the originals ? The originals don't seem very deep, I'm not sure a dinner plate will fit in them. Any suggestions on interior upgrades are welcome. Good thing is the AC works so I don't have to sweat like a dog !
Originally, everything was a clutch head screw. I replaced all of mine with phillips head stainless steel. I know some folks talk of reaction to alumium, so if that bothers you, then maybe you can find some aluminum screws. As far as space, the cabinets are very well thought out. Too much more room and you may put too much weight in them. I have been camping in my C-11 since I was 9 years old and the cabines work great, but as in anything this small, you probably will always want more space. Remember, weight is your enemy. Especially weight that is as high as the cabinets.
