Actually the best solution for storing cutlery I found on this forum. We should all adopt this storage idea.
Apparently the place to store your cutlery is in you 'black water' tank.
After washing your cutlery in a rubbermaid tub (not your sink) just dump everything in your toilet.
Just reach down to retrieve.

There is one drawer in the Roo under the bench seat and yes, it does come open during travel!

Well thanks all for
A) the great suggestions,
B) the not so great one too,
C) letting me know I am not the only one who missed such an obvious thing
I think I will start off with plastic, like the fishing box idea, then get the tools out and finish off Forest Rivers job for them, I think they know we all secretly want to tweek their design! If I am successful with my plan I will continue this discussion in the modification forum

In case you were wondering the "not so great" suggestion was in reference to this thread:

Its not pretty but it is functional...here is one of the clear tackle boxes I use for miscellaneous silverware and utensils. I used to have a couple with seperating compartments, nice and neat, but I got annoyed digging into 2 seperate boxes when prepping meals - so dumped everything into one...it works for me, LOL! I have very limited storage space, as you can see in the photo. The utensils are stored sideways by the disposable cutlery/plates/cups, lanterns and other stuff.

When all else fails, there's always the Ridge Runner.

I said it a few posts up but I really like this idea. I'm also wondering why, being both a fisherman and a camper, didn't I think of this one myself YEARS ago?

Dont beat yerself up...DH is also avid angler and it wasnt something he thought of either. We happened to be in Cabelas and I was looking at lures when I saw the clear boxes on the bottom shelf. What caught my eye was the box's measurements/dimensions - it fit the space I wanted. From there on, Ive used these boxes for carrying my pottery tools to and from the studio, seperating my dog's training collars, snaps, clips and small stuff when traveling to dog shows and of course, organizing batteries and other small camping "stuff". Hey, its like carrying your own personal junk drawer with you. Haha

My 2013 Roo19 has one, but it's about a 1/16th of inch too wide for the drawer and bows up when you put it in. I guess I'm going to have to shave it down.

We moved the "silverware" to a new shelf under sink...
seems convenient to us.

That's smart! THIS is what I love about this forum! Something so simple yet genius~~~~ why didn't I think of that?
My only consideration is am I willing to give up the height there.... Must investigate.......looking for tape measure.....

4Jeeperz - Can you comment on how you installed the shelf under the sink? How did you support the right rear corner?
Also, I found a good cubic ft of space back by the right tail light that they put up a wall to keep you out of. See pic. Seems like a lot of wasted space. Anyone else done anything with this space?

Hello again Rockfordroo...
To support the right side of the shelf we added a 1/4" ply to the existing right side partition between the cab and the drawers. Then a small cleat to left and right to carry the shelf...maybe a couple of pics will help you see what I'm talking about....
