Added storage in bay edited

I have been trying to make my lower compartment a little bit more efficient. So I figured I could add a couple of drawers and a holder for my flag pole. So here is the final product which I hope will work...

The link didn’t work for me!
Interesting idea though,
I’ve been thinking for a while as to what I can do.
Really hope to see the photos.

If this did not work I think I will crack another beer and punt.. I haven't posted a picture in a while so it is a leaning experience every time. This might turn out to be a "hot" topic without anyone seeing any photos... Ha..

the link now works for me
when i saw "added Storage", i said hory mory! someone made 'space' bigger.
as in: there is a finite amount of space inside the skin of these trailers,, how in the hell did he do THAT?!?!?
when i saw the photos, i realized that i am not the only one that builds all sorts of neat storage containment devices that in actuality occupy precious space themselves. WELL DONE!

Thanks for the compliment. I think it will work but if not it is easy to remove and try something else..

Nice job....some fine craftsmanship on thise drawers!

Do you have locks or stops to keep the drawers from opening and pressing against the door?

No stops but the roller bearing slides do have a little rubber that help keep them in the closed position. If they did move it would only be about a 1/2" max.. I might be able to do a test run next weekend so will check them to see how they ride.
