Use dowel pins to secure.

For some reason I have been unable to access these pics. Since more and more 360 owners are joining, it would be great if you could repost the bunk extension, if possible

That's a great way to extend the length of the bunks. Having a great time in our 360 and hope the problems you've had have all been fixed Buskirk21921!

Not fixed yet. Dealer ordered 3 new windows probably will not be fixed until November sometime. The Faded Cap, I have to take it to a body shop to have an estimate and then schedule the repaint. Still sorry I bought this Coachmen.

Dave, that's a great way to use that room! I don't have cats...have two dogs and I keep finding one of them sleeping under my desk in that room!

DH fabricated some slides for the pantry for me. The wine boxes had to have a small piece routered out of the bottom but they fit perfectly. Now when we winterize after our current trip, we'll just pull out the wine boxes and load them up in the truck to take to the house. I really really really like these slides!! Each slide can hold one wine box and one of the little plastic crates. He slanted them slightly downward toward the back of the pantry so that they would not put much pressure on the pantry doors during travel. I didn't want a slider on the bottom cabinet because that's where we put paper towels and extra soft drinks so I didn't think one was needed.

Those are great we found 2 Stack and Slide, long plastic baskets that i mounted in the top two of the bottom door, they work lik yours , trying to find more but W M don't carry them now and to expensive to order on line, will keep looking. Mounted them on a board then mounted the board because of the lip in the shelf.

Well the camper is 40ft long so get the 37-40ft cover. It fits perfectly with a little extra play if needed.

That's perfect thank you. Your picture was the one I was thinking of when I tried to find the thread about the cover. I just wasn't sure if a 37-40 would fit since the trailer is just shy of 40'. Wasn't sure if it would be too tight. Thank you for the reply. Cheers.

I sure wish I could see these pictures. I have seen them once and not sure why their not there now.
Was wondering if taking out the bunks will void the warranty. we would like to take out our top bunk for older kids, Just the double would work better for us.

Removing the top bunk will not effect your warranty at all. I already verified this with Coachmen before I removed ours. It's simple, takes less than 20mins and makes the bunkhouse feel so much bigger. Our 20yr old college daughter sleeps in it.

We met a Coachmen rep at an RV show. Not a salesman, a Coachmen rep (after we bought ours). He said people were taking out the bunks to make offices, cat rooms, one even had some extra plumbing put in and made it a laundry room. Even heard of one ordering his from the factory without the bunks at all. We never discussed warranty but the desk and contents we have in the slide weigh less than the bunks and drawers. He seemed very interested in the mod we made by putting a small beverage refrigerator where the stools are normally stored.

Thank you so much, I will be getting our unit this week by next week, the bunk will be gone and maybe the cabinets at the ceiling they are so high really not useful. I am only 5'3" lol

I love all the things you have done to your RV. I loved the idea of the small frig under the bar. Thanks for your reply.

DH got a pole, put a hole in the end and shoe-glued a piece of paracord in it. I use that to loop around the handles to close those high cabinets. I might have to work a bit on it but it really works. I also have a very light weight but study step ladder that I hang behind the door on those coat hooks. And I've made the area behind the door in the bunkroom into my utility closet. I have an over the door holder for jackets
