I am looking for mods specifically for the 172. I am particularly interested in bunk storage, mirrors, bathroom ideas, stove and/or sink covers, floor mats, and general storage in cabinets, etc.
Photos are useful if you have any.
Thanks,
Zephyr-POD

Zephyr-POD,
Here is a link to what we have done in our 172, Harry Podder. http://rpodnation.com/harry-podder-modified_topic1387.html We have also taken out the mini blinds and added room darkening curtains at the windows and across the bunks. Also I replaced the cloth showercurtain with a plastic one - I used the cloth one to make nightstands for the bunks - Sewed it into pockets and hung them up with comand hooks. Now we have a place to put our glasses and books and stuff.

P.S. Next projects is to finish 12volt wiring, add shelf above window by sink for coffee pot, add second battery (with toolbox), add two more straps on r-dome for day time securing without taking down.

I like the Kitchen , great idea
i also like to raise my bottom bunk so you can sit on the edge of it and remove the top bunk so you have more headroom with shelves on each end like you guys did. also i think sliding doors maybe also with pull out trays where you have drawers. great ideas Phil |

He used a Kreg pocket hole jig (from Lowes) to be able to screw them into the wall. They also rest on the top of the window valance. We don't put heavy stuff on them - just towels and dvds. Send him a pm and he can explain it further if needed. (He is MacTx53)
