I organized my 5th wheel basement with shelves and a roll out drawer. I really liked your idea of using a bed liner paint to cover the surface and will probably take mine apart to do that. I know you were using scrap wood to put yours together and that's fine. I used 3/4" plywood for my drawer. It's more stable than dimensional lumber. I used 1/2" plywood for the shelves and dividers.
s from Germany! Love your idea. We bought our Caravan (RV), 6 years ago and have been upgrading it over time. Did you rennovate the bare compartment? Our compartment has legs which come down under flap, which provide support for support for seat section. We got very lucky, we have a classic short Fendt. Had only one owner, who never showered in it, so absolutely no water or mold. He tore toilet out, very cool gave us more weight. Those service compartments have always bothered us, lifting seats inside to get to stuff inside, or outside pulling stuff out to get to stuff. Great idea! You've a nice RV.😊
Thank you! Glad you liked it! Sounds like you got a good deal on your caravan. No renovation to the compartment, what you see here is all that was done to it. While this compartment is under the bed, there is no access to it from the inside. There are 2 service compartments right next to this one that are only accessible from inside. They are a bit of a pain to work with as well, as they require removing the mattress and a wood panel. One houses the water heater, and the other houses the battery. I will be showing them in a future video on installing a 48V battery and solar system.
Great video. Can function as a bed for the kids : )
What screw type and size did you use to install the tray brackets to the RV? I am a bit nervous about drilling screws into the floor.
All the materials used are listed in the description...
(58) 10-16x3/4 self-tapping screws ($17.49 for a box of 100 from local hardware store)
