Latest "fix"
Had the 8293RKSS out for Labor Day weekend. When removing items from the rear left storage compartment, one of the tables hit me on the head. Further investigating revealed that the 1/4" paneling (yes, ONE QUARTER INCH) shelf the factory had installed with 3 light-duty screws had collapsed. We were lucky.....this shelf is directly above our water pump, and the collapse did not damage the pump. A quick trip home (we were close) to get some 1/2" plywood, screws and glue. An hour later, and we had a new, much stronger, shelf. Not only is it stronger, but we used the space to the left of the pump to extend the height on the right side of the compartment by using the space all the way to the floor of the camper, instead of putting one shelf straight across.Wasted space is now utilized!! Now we can store taller items in this area as well. Our next "mod" will be to install a piece of laminate on the wall next to the stove. DH will make a new 3-tier spice rack (instead of the 2-tier we have) and we'll move those up the wall a bit. I'll post photos when this is complete. Oh, and another magazine rack....this one for the bathroom!!
