Has anyone come up with an actual use for the the weird little cupboards at the foot of the bed under the window? Has anyone redone that area to make it more usable? I have seen pictures of some other Beavs that actually have dresser drawers built in there. That would be pretty handy since the drawer space by the wardrobe is pretty scarce. Just trying to make our 2000 Patriot work as our full time home next year and want to make use of all the space I can. What has anyone done to gain storage in the bedroom?

Joel Weiss:
We stash a variety of "thin" things in those cupboards.  Accordion folders containing papers, bills, etc, are things that fit well.  Also books, sewing patterns, etc.  We even have a small fire extinguisher and the nozzles for the central vac in there.  If you make them much deeper you would start to lose the ability to walk around the bed when the slide is retracted.

What I find really useless are the two drawers that come out from under the bed on the right side.  You have to be on your hands and knees to even get to them and you have to pull them completely out to see what is in them.

Edward Buker:
They are pretty useless cabinets. We have added matching wood "bars" that allow us to slip in shoes, slippers, magazines or paperwork vertically and be retained when you open the door. It has helped make good use of the space.

When we were looking at the Beaver my wife took one look at those and said..."MORE SHOES".  They filled up real fast.  The really tough ones to use are the ones under the bed and a strange one under the vanity that requires hands and knees access.

Perfect for cans and wine bottles.
