I finally got rid of all my stuff then My aunt died and left me all her stuff.

I cleaned off my workbench yesterday, and haven't been to the garage yet today. But, I think I know what to expect, also am fully expecting to wonder where it all came from!!

The bottom space is still the same as before for heavy things .At harbor freight found the net to hold everything in it’s place . Now I was able to have storage for bread , chips , cookies etc over the dinette. I had Charley make a few dividers that can slide as needed to make space larger or smaller . In the closet the top shelf in the closet now holds towels . Others , clothes on shelf’s I made . Before paper products were everywhere in trailer . Hated that . Of course under the heater opened up , made a nice cupboard for shower things etc. as a lot of us did . After coming from second camper the storage I found in the trailer to be very wasteful . Campers utilize every space . I still keep looking for more idea’s , but I found a lot . Pat

Those dividers are also useful in the upper cabinets at the ends of the long ones on the sides; those are dead-end cabinet space with no access. We put seldom used items there and slide them back into the corners, pull out to access those items.

That thin panel wall in mine was stapled to the top. No way to pull it out - had to dremel it in half. So now I have wheel well space for paper stuff, bulk stuff, web stuff, cook stuff, George stuff, etc.

I wonder if all these open spaces will not make the trailer hotter/colder without the air cushion?

Sometimes you have to design on the fly. Great space for bulky items like paper towels etc.

Jim, don't you realize that all the "stuff" he's going to fill it with will have a higher R value.

I have some left-over insulation for the back and right side that opens to under bed.

You know what Myron looking at your panel before you cut (it has been a long time ) I think I did the same and that was how I ended up with shorter piece ! Pretty cool space ! And you still have the original left for heavier things as before ! Pat
