ARE Shell Build-Out

Meijer, they are cloth shoe organizers.  I just cut the panels across to make four panels to screw into the bed posts.

Well, I cleaned out my attachment folder, not realizing it deletes the photos from the posts.  Will try to reload the photos to my attachment folder and see it that returns the photos to the posts.

I realized I never posted the pics of the final project.  The build turned out very well for our purpose.  Everything worked as we hoped.  We made 2 corrections in the design-   1.  we did away with the big table and used a much smaller table  2. We changed the way the hatch panels under the large bed cushions opened for greater ease of access to the storage below the bed cushions.  The insulation on the shell performed perfectly and the reflextic on the windows kept us warmer or cooler according to the outside temps. 

We toured Alaska, Canada and the northern border states in great comfort.  I can't say enough how much this site aided in building this level of comfort in the truck.  I will post a trip report in Captain's Log, when I get some free time.

What kind of step is that behind your rig?  Looks like it folds for stashing away?  Source?

I ordered it from Amazon.  It is a Range Kleen SS2 step stool, gray, for $25.99.
I added tread grip, from Lowe's, to the top of the stairs.

It is made of heavy duty plastic and folds flat.  The specs say 300 lbs weight tolerance, but I have found you need to place your foot anywhere but in the middle of the tread, as it flexes to the point you think it will crack.  As long as we placed our feet toward the side edge it was very stable and sturdy.  It worked great, stored in a small place and I would buy it again.

Yep, you can order them from Amazon.  Search shoe organizers.  I cut them into 4 sections and screwed them to the base of the beds.
