Poor drawer quality in 2020 Rockwood Ultra Lite

[RobRockz]

My wife opened up one of the kitchen drawers and discovered the bottom towards the back had completely given out. I noticed the cheap flimsy bottom did not have a groove to slide into the back plate but was instead just nailed on from the bottom. Very cheap design, especially with the drawer holding nothing but a few kitchen utensils. Wouldn't be so bad if the bottom was at least plywood instead of cardboard. Guess I will be repairing this when we get back home.

Welcome to the cheap build world of travel trailers. I ended up rebuilding the bottoms of all the drawers in our mini-lite.

I ended up making the bottom out of plywood...glued a block of wood inside on the bottom in the back of the drawer and then connected the block to the backplate with a L bracket and screws.
