Dead Space

I got the idea from Roger
He extended the drawers
I took a different approach
Used the dead space for pullouts
Used panels from refrigerator I just removed
I think Amy will be happy

Need to pull back for a wider field of view photo - I'm trying to figure out where that space is located in your coach.

I see the bottom corner of a window frame up on the left of the new storage frame--second photo.
So maybe a front facing cabinet/hutch type structure?

looks like the front side of the kitchen sink cabinet. It faces the passengers seat Backside). I have a speaker in that area.. putting in a home surround sound speaker instead of the 6x9 stuffed in there.

I like your tile you have in your unit.
Can you advise what type and where you got them!

The tile is Karndean. I don't remember where we bought it, but it was a company online. They also sent their brand of adhesive. I was impressed with their service. We need to redo bath and bedroom this summer, so if I find the company again I can post the info, or send you a PM. I had never heard of Karndean before I installed it, after many years in the construction trade. I got turned onto it by Andy 2 and Peter, who both had installed it in their Foretravels. It is a premium commercial tile made in England?
We are very happy with it.

I installed a 13.9 cu ft Frigidaire in the existing 36" wide space, leaving about 8" of dead space.
I built a pullout with adjustable shelves in that space, reusing the remaking panels from the old fridge.
We will really enjoy the added storage space we were able to utilize. Never have enough storage space.

I did the same only I didn't do adjustable shelves, that's a great idea.

The PO installed Bose sound system in our coach. We needed the storage space, so I had to remove the BOSE subwoofer. Almost new.
It is a Powered Acoustimass 30 series ll sub woofer.
The shipping might cost a few bucks, but I would sell it for???????
Make me an offer I can't refuse. It needs a new home.

Google it.

Didn't Foretravel build coaches with Bose systems 20 years ago? And they were not add-ons? Can the little speakers operate without the Acoustimas?

And can the subwoofers operate without all the Bose parts?

Here is the manual that may explain connectivity:

Mine has all the Bose speakers including the bedroom and works off of a Yamaha head unit. I threw away the base box under the couch.
