Space under sofa mod Springdale 282

So we realized that keystone blocked off EMPTY space under our sofa (see picture 1). We removed the brackets (which are attached by screws from under the sofa - must have been assembled prior to placement in the unit) and I pulled the fabric back and trimmed the board slightly so it wasn't too tight a fit when I attach it as a front to the drawer. Next I built a box to nearly maximum depth and width (leaving a little space at the rear for the cord for the air matress) and put furniture sliders on the bottom so I didn't have the hassle of drawer slides. Then I attached woodspacers to the old covering on the front to prevent the bottom of the drawer from being overly visible ( I used screws and liquid nails). I then attached the drawer to the spacers with liquid nails and screws. Finally, I added some black duct tape across the front bottom edge of the drawer (slightly visible in the last picture). The duct tape is important as it is a good quality indicator and this also hides the bottom of the drawer. Tomorrow I will be adding velcro to hold the drawer closed during transportation. I was very happy with how this turned out as this has added substantial storage space in a totally unused area.

Very nice mod. Looks professional and sure adds some storage space.

Nice job - we already had the storage under the couch in the Laredo 294RK. Love it. I did find storage under the rear cushion on the U-Shaped dinette. Did not even know it was there till last fall when I was storing the blankets because they had to fix our sofa. Instead of leaving the entire trailer we just left the sofa.
