Bench storage area near Alde

AustinRoamers

I carefully put a lightweight wire shelf above the wiring and plumbing in the Alde side bench area.  I feel like this underutilized space could be put to better use.  Please let us know if you have any good ideas.

Sounds like a great idea. Can we see a picture? I tried a mesh net but wad unsuccessful.

In our T@B, the Alde is under the back bench and the heat coils under the passenger side bench protected/enclosed by a wooden box. Amazing how often the factory makes changes.

DeeDee - sorry if my description wasn't clear.  Our Alde is also in the back bench but next to the driver side bench. You can see the plumbing/wiring in the photo. The wire shelf supports the slats from our bed mod but I keep thinking there is a better option.

Is that a freestanding shelf, like you would use ina kitchen pantry? I like how you are thinking

Yes, it is freestanding.  It is sturdy but lightweight. Still hoping to eke more storage out of this space.  Hoping someone will share that with us!

I think Pop-Tab and maybe Michigan_Mike made a "bridge" of sorts to go over the wires so they could store their bed slats. Maybe search "driver's" or "drivers" for driver's side bench area would show some other ideas.

Gotcha. We also did like Pop-Tab and Michigan_Mike, a bridge type slat holder. Would also like to see more ideas for storage in this limited space.
