We are the proud owners of a brand new 2011 Rpod 181g. Absolutely love it! What sold us was the rear garage-kitchen. Love being able to do all the food prep and clean-up outdoors with the nice roomy sink and nice storage there. My question is the hanging system above the sink--does anyone know where/if you can purchase additional hanging components? I'd like to add an additional basket and a couple of extra utensil hooks. I've done all kinds of Google searches, checked Home Depot & Lowes for compatible pieces and looked on the Forest River site. So far have found nothing. Surely I'm not the only 181g guy who's wanted extra hanging hooks or baskets! Love to hear if anyone has found a source.

I agree - IKEA is great for hanging baskets and such...added a small rod over sink with small plastic hanging baskets to hold misc items--flashlight, hand soap, etc..they work great. There are small hooks that attach to rod for my keys, towel..Another item I will be adding in the 171 on front wall behind dining table area is a hanging netting like the type in pod now. I have priced the ones from FR but they are more expensive than I wish to pay...so found www.cargogear.com for the netting I wish to purchase. Will use for books, and to keep small items at hand. Good Luck on your search!
(I have not yet purchased from "cargogear" so I can not give status on this company)

I don't think that Ikea will have what you want. You want something that will go into the built in track system.
I haven't seen anything that will fit the track, but my guess is that Forest River will sell you additional baskets if you were to call and ask.

You have to order from VersaTrac to make sure they fit the panel. Forest River will charge about 3x what they actually cost, so don't go to them. We found a source on line and ordered a bunch of medium size baskets to fill in the rack, and now have side-to-side and top-to-bottom storage baskets in our garage area.
We ordered from: http://www.garagecabinetsonline.com/NewAge-VersaTrac.html They have a ton of different hanging accessories for this system, and at a much cheaper price than any dealer can get for you. Try them first, or just do a search for VersaTrac. |

VersaTrac is some quality stuff. My local Sears stocks it. You may be able to find it at yours as well.
