Corner shelf on either side
 
 
2 drawers 30" x 16" x 8"
 
 
4 drawers 22" deep top 2 are 3.5" third 4.5" bottom 7" high
 
Access door to pump
 
 
Access door to hotwater tank shutoff valve
 
 
Access to storage under seat
 
 
 
Fridge to small ?
First throw the bottom drawer of the fridge away, replace it with 2 plastig containers with squar corners you can pull out the right one slide the other one over to take it out. Now that I have about 15 times more cabinet space I dont realy need that much storage under the seat.I splitt the cusion and box in 2, left storage, right build in cooler,it is 2.25 cubic feet. We put in a 4 litre container of ice, after 5 days of camping we had 1 litre of ice left. Temp. was 6 degrees C.
 
Counter ext. on either side of counter that fold down, sink cover, stove cover- cutting board which can be used as a serving tray. Above tilting shelves for cups, glasses and spices.
 
Storage for sink cover, stove cover and in behind access door to pump
Part 3 to follow.
If you want something done right, do it yourself!

   Marwayne you are very creative with a lot of talent! I think Forest River would admire the work you have done, perhaps give them some good ideas. Thankyou for sharing your great work.  David
