Forest River Wildwood 5er Cabinets
Ok, so maybe its just my blessed little trailer, but all may cabinets look UNFINISHED. I have these beautiful tall oak cabinets that don't have any shelves in them. 4' tall cabinets with literally 1 shelf at the 2' height. I can't use them because I can't stack or sort anything beyond a small layer or it all looks just thrown in there and disorganized. Others here at the dealership where I seem to spend most my time at, have also said it looked unfinished to them as well, so how do I confirm my own suspicions? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Our mh had the same cupboards as I suspect many do. There are endless threads on mods to make storage that works for you and endless products to facilitate it.

it is better to design your own shelving, that way it is right to what you are thinking of, it doesn't cost that much and with a little time and effort, walla, it will be what you want,,,,

'dlwalker'......
It seems to be the industry standard to provide 'minimal' shelving.
If they provided nice shelves for holding an array of items within the vast cabinets you speak of....1st it would cost more..... 2nd it wouldn't satisfy everyone's needs.
Take on the challenge... now you can customise your cabinets to your personal requirements.
I kept our pantry shelves open in the middle and placed some mid shelves along the sides for smaller items.
Under the sink got more tricky... pipes etc. get in the way for shelves but you will have to get creative and make it work for you.
It's all about 'weight'....keep all your heavy stuff low and use the upper cabinets to stow the paper towels and the like.
Here are a few of my cabinet mods.

I like the ideas for personalizing the shelving.... as this is new for me, I have a question- How do you keep the stovetop clean/ grease free .... Obviously wiping down after use. But have you found great cleaning products or techniques?... Thanks
