Cabinet mod

It is inspiring to see the various improvements as chronicled on this forum. Here is one of mine. The narrow cabinet next to the stove is not conducive to efficient storage. I removed the door hinges and installed a sliding organizer.

Here are some of mine, the shelves can easily be removed and the tiny screw holes filled with wood putty.

We had a wasted space in our MH and I installed these instead of a metal rack from Forest River. I also added the slide locks so they don't move while travelling.

Here are a couple of minor mods. Since the washer takes up about 1/3 of the hanging area in the closet, I added a rod in the cabinet by the entry door to make a coat closet and added a rod in the closet in the bedroom slide for shirts/blouses. Utensil drawers are virtually nonexistent so we bought some storage units from Walmart

I was going to turn the closet right beside it, the one hat stores the Dyson, into a coat closet but have to find a new home for that first.
B.t.w. I'm still not 100% sold on the Dyson .

We have the dyson animal which is stronger than the one dynamax puts in the trilogy.

I was not impressed with the Dyson either. Purchased a dirt devil centralVac. Will install this weekend.

The shark vacuum would be a good alternative and would fit in the same cabinet as the dyson.
