We've been trying to arrange our basement more efficiently. This compartment on the driver's side of our coach used to be where the grill was stored. In order to use it, we had to remove it and carry it around to the passenger's side that is our "living room" in most RV parks. The grill has now been moved around to what used to be the tool compartment on the passenger's side and we've installed a better tool box in the compartment where the grill used to be. It is on glides so it can be easily pulled out and opened for quick tool access. Behind it, also on the back of the glides, are two compartment boxes containing various screws, nuts, bolts and miscellaneous hardware that can be easily accessed to make a quick repair.
One of Ted's pet peeves was that whenever he needed to get the ladder out, he had to unpile the fishing gear and the window shades to get to it. We built these shelves so that the ladder can now be pulled out without moving anything else. Now, perhaps Ted will clean the windshield more frequently. We have also built shelves that can be used to store off-season clothing and items that we seldom access in the dead space between the frame rails. A lot more rearranging yet to do, but it's a start. It's been sort of interesting what we've chosen to carry and what we've chosen to not carry as we enter our second stint of full-time RVing.
