    @Dalehelman, your over-the-top trashcan has the added benefit that you get to play trash-basketball.

    Nice work. You can probably use that shelf for bowling ball storage.

    Nice job! I have one of the @Dalehelman specials in my trailer as well. I use it for bulkier clothing , like jeans, sweatshirts, & such. I'm thinkin' after havin' to pick stuff up off the bed after traveling, I might use some type of bungie to hold stuff in place. Still a work in progress.

    Funny, Dale! 
    And yes, ericnliz, we were also thinking of clothing storage and/or bins like Dale did.  I want to find some elastic cargo netting.

    Instead of ordering cargo nets from Amazon, I'm going to try these.  I've ordered the 20" & 36" nets for the side shelves, and the 48" for the wire shelf across the back..

    Please don’t laugh. We have been looking for over 3 years for the right place for a small trash receptacle.

    Dale, I'm not laughing, but I might suggest the challenge you faced stems from your definition of a "small" trash receptacle...  ;-)

    Brilliant idea for putting trash receptacle.  We use an aluminum flower pot from Ikea and put it on the back of the sink.  But now I shall look for a place to store one up high!

    We use a collapsible clothes hamper from ikea, but put a trash bag in it, and leave it outside...at night and when we leave camp, I put it in TV.

    If we leave anything outside at night the  raccoons have a field day  or maybe a field night. We use this outdoors

    @Dalehelman how did your wire shelf work out initially when you only used stick-on command hooks for the mounting brackets before doing any drilling? Any issues before you decided to permanently mount??

    The Command hooks were just temporary. Once I was confident of the shelf placement. I wanted a more permanent and stronger mounting  solution.

    Dalehelman:

    Looking through all your mods, I realized you had already thought of putting a shutoff valve on the toilet water supply that I did and posted here after having to replace the Thetford valve assembly. Also by putting the 90 degree valve in you apparently avoided the tightening problem I encountered putting in the version that I did that comes straight out from the wall. Good idea!

    @JanandDave as long as I put it in "backwards" it has never unrolled yet. @SAM you get the brownie point! Yes, L@dybug was in her shed when I took the pic. We renovated the original 1948 garage to fit the Tab. I need to retake it when I'm somewhere more scenic I guess!  :)

    While on the subject of storage, this is my favorite mod. I'm not a big fan of A/C--and I rarely have the AC to run it--so this space is now put to good use keeping smaller items like my solar suitcase and propane lantern at the ready.

    As a paperweight, the Frigidaire works just as well in my attic as it did in the T@B.  ;-)

    That overhead shelf in the back is up next!



    I think this is the best idea for those who do not use A/C. It's easy enough to reinstall if you sell and you are getting the use of extra storage.

    Yep. My version is actually a self contained box that just slides in in place of the air conditioner. Although this reduces the usable space in the cabinet somewhat, the A/C could be restored without much fuss for a trip to warmer climates or resale. Not that I'd ever consider that...  :-)

    I  have a few questions for the original post pictures. Did you paint the walls or is that a wallpaper?   I really like the dark gray.   Also did you originally have a sink in your bathroom and remove it?   I’m thinking about removing my sink.

    @Tiffkrems, the silver wall covering is part of the Sofitel package.  The sink can be removed.

    The T@B is a 2015 Sofitel and comes with the gray interior. It did not come with a sink in the bath.

    Once I had them arranged exactly the way I wanted them I used 2 screws for a more permanent installation.
