A couple owners have added a second door to that space, opening on the side or front, depending on how you think of the nomenclature.. But where there isn't a door now. Wink
At least one owner made a rotating tray, and a few owners have sort of gotten rid of the space by removing the cook top and adding a standard RV range.
It sounds to me like adding a second access point would get you just what you need.

I have seen some modifications that people have done. You may need to use the Advanced Search function to be able to expand the date range to find them. I use wooden crates to hold things under there, but with the 179, it is not the easiest thing to get to. The crates really help, but some sort of sliding shelf would be better.

I have thought that an outside hatch would be nice for getting access to the back part of that cabinet in our 179. I'm just not quite up to putting one in with the risk of leaks.

Does anyone know where we can get a set of sliding shelf/drawer brackets that could be installed in the corner cupboards under the stove? With now having minor back mobility issues we find it very hard to access any items deep in those cupboards. We know these cupboards are large and provide great storage space, however, they have awkward shapes with some almost inaccessible areas, has anyone re-designed them to improve access? (We have minimized what we are able to store and reach, just hate to waste all that space!).
The current Covid19 situation has given us lots of time to plan and install other mods, a power tongue jack, an awning over the slide out, look at spare wheel/bike rack options, and back up cameras, to name a few. A big "thank you" to all you contributors, we have already found some very valuable information in these posts for our proposed projects. Stay well, stay healthy.

Stay well and stay healthy in these difficult times.
