westi storage hacks

[blatzer]

add shelves in the closet

or drawers in the spare tire chamber

box in the camper box

and a small putch in the water closet by moving the partition inward

i'm with you on the shelves. one of the first things i did.

however, my stuff falls off from deceleration forces, i assume. thinking about putting up some flexible netting to keep that from happening.

I think the closet shelves are a great idea. If I'm camping, I'm not going to be carrying clothes that require a hanger.

The original owner made this rack/pull out shelves for the spare tire cabinet. He did a good job of this, but ruined the cabinetry in the process. He cut out a few inches of the wood and drilled holes for the latch. I hate this because it is something I'm going to have to pull the cabinetry one day to properly repair it. For now, I've had to cut a piece of wood to fill the gap and drill a new latch plate to the bottom. Anyhow, if anyone in my proximity should want this drawer/rack, you're welcome to it!

I have a early Westy with the clunky clothes closet. Thought of putting in shelves with boxes that can be removed.

[blatzer]

the closet shelves are retained by clips that hold them in place in case of turnover/bumps but still allow removal- the other thing i want to fix is putting hinges on the spare tire cover just cause it'll make camp life easier
