My big project for today was to maximize the storage in our Great West Van Legend armoire unit. We had been hanging clothes in it but decided that was not an efficient use for the space since most of our clothes can be folded away more compactly. I considered custom building shelves but first looked around for modular shelving units. I came across this Elfa drawer unit and determined it would fit almost precisely inside the armoire. In fact in order to get it inside I had to final assemble the frame inside the unit as it would not slip through the door opening complete. The drawers are 17" square by three variable heights of 3-1/4", 7-1/4" and 11-1/4". The deep drawer will hold a kitchen paper towel roll upright.

I adjusted my side cargo doors so that the new door seals I installed don't overlap and tear!

Today's project was to relocate the table that was stored inside the armoire. I moved it outside the armoire just behind the driver's seat. I re-used the latch clips at the top and added a teak stay 13" above the floor. In the armoire it rested directly on the floor. This way it will be above any storage boxes.
I also added this pull out string clothes line inside the bathroom for drying wet towels, bathing suits, hand washed wet clothes and stuff.

Kicked the birds out of the air conditioner today. Huge nest with 4 Robins eggs in it already. I did not see the eggs until I dumped everything out of the cover. Covered over their access in the side with some wire mesh.

Got new wheel skins for the RT. Exactly the same as the originals from the factory, appear to be identical even to the manufacturer and origin. Great price: $65 postpaid for all four.
A few clips on the old ones had occassionally broken off and two of the four stayed loose. I lost one last year on a really rough piece of road, replaced it at local hubcab dealer for $25. Now, I have four new ones and will use the two good old ones for spares.

Today's project was to add two wire in-baskets for nighttime bed storage for things like wallet, watch, eye glasses, keys, iPhone, iPad, book, reading light, etc. I mounted them underneath the back overhead cabinet just above our pillows. One for each of us. It is within arms reach when lying in bed.
The baskets are stackable wire in-baskets normally for office desk use and can be bought at Target or the Container Store. I put these in my previous Pleasure-way B and decided to do it again. This time I modified the baskets by hacksawing off metal tabs that stuck up. I used co-axial cable holders with 1/2" long screws.
This is storage for overnight items you might use just before going to bed. You have to remember to empty before getting underway of which most you would do anyway. In the past I've left things like books and they stay in place while driving. The headband reading light can stay as well.

Davydd : I'v admired your GW Sprinter as the fit and finish are superb.
Do you think you will ever remove the GW advertisement off of the back of your beautiful unit?
Maybe it is just me, but I do not like it when dealers slap a big sticker on a vehicle for free advertisement which detracts from the vehicles beauty.
Sorry! My rant is over and I will climb back into my hole.
