Here are a few mods done to my 32bhds, The first is a spice rack in the dead space to the left under the counter when you walk in, the next two I used the dead space over the microwave one pic is with door closed and one is open. The last pic is in the back bedroom I put a shelf all the way across about 8" wide so my daughter can keep stuff up there and I'll run a wire back there so she can put her ipod and alarm clock.

This is in preparation for our two year camping trip around the country, as my wife is going to be a traveling RN.

I also added adjustable shelves with tracks in the cabinets over the TV, but I haven't taken pics of that haha.

Nice mods. It's those little things you do that personalizes the RV just the way you like it and makes life easier and more convenient on the road.

Very nice job on these. What did you use for the board on the space above the microwave?

It is a piece of 1x6 poplar from Lowes, it was the perfect height at 5 1/2 inches. I cut it to length, routed the edge to match to other cabinets put on some hinges and a handle (not shown in picture). I had to put a shelf in as well, I took out the microwave and put in a piece of 1/2 inch plywood for the shelf. it was really easy.

I took the piece I knocked out to Lowes to match the stain and put on a few coats of poly as well.

Looks very nice. What color stain did you use to match the existing cabinet? Thanks for sharing.

Wow, exceptional looking work. I wouldn't dare start a project as detailed as that. Space is a premium and you certainly found extra. I really like the spice rack personally. Like to see some pics of the adjustable shelves in the cabinet over the tv as well. I might think about attempting that.

It's little details like this that really help others looking to add shelves, etc. Thanks for posting that info!

One picture is the adjustable shelf I added and one is a better pic of the overhead storage over the microwave. On the adjustable shelf I divided the 2 sides with a piece of poplar cut to fit in the center, and one shelf on the right side of the storage space. It would be easy to add another shelf to the right side or get some more tracks and add shelves to the left side. easy mod if you have a table saw haha. Also at my disposal was a 23 gauge trim gun to nail the divider in place. The nail holes are so small you can't see them, the tracks are white not by choice but the only availible ones from Lowes at the time maybe i'll paint them later haha.
