Where did you get the slides for the pantry? That’s something I need !! I’m assuming you removed the flimsy shelves and put the pull outs in the same location.?

I ordered the same shelf that is on each side of the bed in our 3791RD and put it on the wall next to the theater seats as a drink /remote shelf. Looks stock.

Got slides from Menards but HD or Lowe’s stock them. Yes replaced the shelves but not where the shelves were (different spacing). Much nicer. Pull them out and you can get what is in the back. Next project is a led strip down the side

Thank you for the reply, I have a Lowes close to me ! The shelves themselves, did you have to build them or do they sell them a certain size?

Our 2006 Monty came with great slide out wire baskets in the pantry. We love them and did not realize Keystone had taken them out. I am guessing that is another reason we just continued to upgrade other things and keep going down the road.

Couldn’t help it, but noticed you pull a 331rl with a 2006 Dodge 3/4 ton diesel. I have the same puller, but it is rated at 13,000 towing capacity. Do you have any issue towing more than rated?
