Time for Modifications

    Well, the time has come to add all the things we removed from the High Country and reinstall on the New Mountaineer. We reinstalled power vent covers, screen door handles(bars), relined all the shelves and cabinets in the coach, replace sleep number bed and compressor, towel racks, reloaded pot and plates, fire extinguishers, etc, etc. We then tackled the under storage, install inverter, eyebolts for tie downs, fishing pole holder. We had a few busy days and evenings.

    Now the entire reason for going to the Montana Mountaineer 356TBF floor plan, was to have a space for Janice to set up her sewing/embroidery/quilt/craft area. So after looking at numerous options, from building a desk area, to buying a sewing table type system, we started to looking at DESK. Gee, they are right height, and could have a lot of storage if drawer configurations was right. And if you could find one with a large enough top. AND the big one (ok, so its a matter of being a small one), it had to fit through a 28" inside door. We did a search and reviewed a few, and this is what we came up with. Length 6 feet, Depth of surface 31",  Drawers for storage, and enough room at the end to store a 6 foot table for travel and set up when we arrive.

Saturday morning we started building and moving finished section through that 28" inside door. And Saturday afternoon we had this:


Now we all know that sewing/embroidery/etc, takes a lot of storage. Above the desk, you can see the full bunk bed in its up positions (rated at 300lbs capacity) so the bunk can be used for storage and lots of drawers on the desk for storage. And....................... across the room is the closet, entertainment center, with another bunk. I added removable shelving to the shallow closets.


So I hope we have made a good start on getting this room set up. We are awaiting the arrival of the Theater Seating, and the Microwave/Convection Oven(which has arrived and is awaiting install) Hopefully, the next major project with be installing the tool chest in the front storage bay. As mentioned earlier we did get all the vent covers installed, it gives the rig a look of a bunch of AC units, but there are only 2 AC's, the rest are Fantastic Power Vents.


    I just realized that I have not show MY favorite part (other then the hydraulic auto leveling system. So here it is, "The Outdoor Kitchen". Of course there is an indoor kitchen, but this one is MINE.

So there ya go, the adventure continues.

We just purchased the same model and year, and while we will be using the bunkhouse for our kids, I love that you added shelves in the cabinets. How we will organize and store their belongings is what is keeping me up at night, lol! Thanks for posting!
