Want to Install Shelves, Help Please

[G.O.D.]

Well Shoot my Photo's are Laying on Their side, Don't know what went Wrong sorry. I want to Install Semi Permanent Shelves in the Hanging closet next to the Bed.
So I can Utilize the Whole closet .I picked up some (Shelve Holders) that I do not know how to attaché to the walls. What say You O Great Modifiers of the Forest River RV World. We have Used the Metal type Shelves' that you put to together then set in the Closet and we have Used the Cloth Hanging type.

Could you mount the shelf racks on the back of the face with caring size brackets facing the wall then cut shelves to fit.

We replaced those plastic shelf brackets with metal standards similar to this:






The plastic ones have sharp points on the spring loaded rests, and when reaching in to place items in, or getting something out, the sharp points would scratch or snag clothing.


Here's a pic of ours with the metal standards, and the new shelves I built:





The original shelves were cut too narrow for the plastic standards, and were certainly too narrow for the new metal standards.

How did you Attach them to the Wall ?

I used the same brackets as did brucemc and just cut the shelves to fit very snug.Nothing has moved in over 5000 miles of travel.

Please forgive the mess in the attached photo

So you did not Use Glue or Screws to Hold Them. My Problem is Attaching them to the Walls.

Nope, nothing.The metal brackets were cut to fit snug to to bottom and the shelves were cut to fit snug bracket to bracket and front to back. I can tell you though that can probably use screws as I have since removed the hanging bar and those bar holders were held in place with two screws on each side. I am sure that a stud was strategically place behind them, but a would imaging that each corner should have some kind of stud also.

Bruce here - As there is framing in the wall where the originals were located, I installed the new standards near those locations with small screws.

You can determine where yours are located by using a stud sensor, or even by looking at where the panels were tacked to the framing.

Else, you can use short screws in the paneling if you tighten them just enough to keep from stripping them out. All you need to do is hold the standards in place.

Coney's idea works well if things are snug.

I used the same kind. Got the standards and brackets at Lowe's. Used the screws that came with the into the plywood. Cut the standards with a hacksaw. Very easy project.

X2. Just make sure the screws are not too long to go completely thru the wall

I've used those rails for countless things but NEVER did it occur to me to use them in the TT wardrobe.. I did this with aluminum angle and plexi-glass. Rails would have been so much easier and the shelves adjustable to boot.

Easily removable without any tools and no attaching to the walls, the shelves wedge in and lock everything together -

First off I want to Thank You all for your Postings and Ideals. I went with what Brucemc Posted. Here's Proof.








Also Installed a Bed Lift while we were at it.

We added shelves to our Mini Lite. No brackets or drilling.

How did you attach the side pieces?

[Gottaluvlife]

Not attached, used a paper template to cut thin piece of wood for the sides, attached brackets to the sides, then inserted side pieces, next cut shelves to fit. Each shelf measured before cutting.
Hope that makes sense.
We could totally remove if we wanted to.

Pictures would be helpful. Most of us don't know what the side tables in a 2016 Signature look like.

If you take the pictures with a phone, hold it with the button to the right. Otherwise the pictures will be rotated.
