We just upgraded from a 174BH to a brand new 242BHSW. For the last couple of years, we have been thinking about things that we would have liked to have on the 174, but didn't do them because we were planning the upgrade.
Now, I do have to say that none of what I'm doing is original, 90% of it is stuff I have seen on these forums over the past couple of years. I'm sorry I didn't track who to credit the ideas to!
This week's work:
- Paper Towel Holder
- Camco brace on screen door
- Hitch storage on tongue
- Slide out drawer in pass through
I tried to pace myself this week, I will also be adding more shelves to the pantry and upper cabinets, but haven't stained them yet so no photos. Also on the tick list for this week is to re-hang the bedroom sliding doors as they were both in with 1 screw per roller and fell out during the drive home. Not quite worth it to me to drive to the dealer to have fixed under warranty.
Note that I did plan for the weight of the drawer along with our typical camping kit, so I don't think I'd recommend that one for everyone as it is most of a sheet of plywood, plust 2 2x4's, so it's not light. The perimeter edge is all glued and screwed for strength. The internal dividers are just screwed from the sides only so that I can easily move them as equipment storage needs change. I threw a few lengths of board cut to the right width underneath so that I don't misplace it. (It's also scrap wood, hence the paint drips and such on it.)
The WD hitch bars will be going under the tongue eventually, and once they do, my camp BBQ will fit in that compartment standing on edge.
Anyways, here's some photos, appreciate any feedback and further ideas!
