New drawers under dinette seats
Our Tracer 230 FBS was lacking storage so I made 2 drawers to go under the dinette seats. The drawer boxes are made from 3/4'' birch plywood and the fronts are made from maple. I used self closing drawer slides to keep the drawers closed while driving.

Very nice indeed.

I agree; lots of wasted space with the OEM drawers.

There were no drawers under the dinette, I added these.

In my opinion, that's one of the best mods a person can do to their trailer. Nice work.
