First mod (that I didn't see on the forum but it's probably here somewhere)

Added a sliding cabinet organizer for storage under the dinette seat.

Thanks Neil.

DW wanted something to store pots & pans in. I haven't permently screwed it in yet. It just needed a bit of riser so it would clear the lip of the compartment.

By the way, that set of awning poles and brackets work fantastic.

WHERE did you find that sliding WIRE basket? I want to put the same thing on the shelves in our wardrobe. For now I'm using square baskets, just sitting on the shelves.

I WANT some of those...three of them to be exact!

Yep, you showed me that mod a while back.

DH's other hobby is woodworking, BTW. He's got all kinds of exotic woods stacked on the rafters of his shop.

But, it seems he's always busy with "other things". I naggervated him about the antenna yesterday and couldn't believe he actually went out and installed it!

"naggervated" ....nagged + aggravated

Actually I didn't....I just hinted that others stated they got LOTS more channels with it. It worked!

Lowes. They come in a bunch of sizes. I wanted to put some in our kitchen pantry, but the openings are 1/2" too small

Shop Rev-A-Shelf 20.5-in W x 22-in D x 7-in H 1-Tier Metal Pull Out Cabinet Basket at Lowes.com=

Awesome mod. I have been thinking of something like this to replace the big wooden drawer under my dinette seat. My wife has arthritis and has a hard time dragging it out. I could do something like this and then take the drawer front to make a door with hinges. I might even do the other dinette seat the same way if I get real ambitious.

Interesting. Our 2010 23SS has the regular dinette (not the U shaped version) and it has a factory-installed drawer there.

All, I found them at Costco for 26 bucks. I'd seen it for awhile and was thinking it would work nice in that storage spot. Looks like the same one at Lowes. Works well since it slides all the way out. Gettin' too old to get down on the knees.

I thought both of our storage spots under the dinette seating had drawers, but only the front one did, and the drawer isn't that large.

The drawer we have under the rear bench is maybe half the width of the bench. The furnace takes up most of the space under the front bench. But there is a storage cabinet immediately in front of the front bench, just inside the door.
