Changes we made to the bedroom

[Tim Harmann]

We do love that the 319RLS has a king bed in a smaller and light 5th wheel. So we had to find a used one because OR dropped that option in their new floor plans. We also like the 100" wide body's over the new ones too. We want to use the bedroom with the side in, that is way we made some of these changes to the bedroom. We removed right side nightstand, we removed mirrored closet doors and I changed the swing of the bedroom door to swing out of the room, that is the way it shows on the floor plans but that is not the way it was built at the OR factory. I also want to built an matching, three drawers and shelves to the right side of the closet to match the left side with about 24" of hanging clothes in the middle.

1st thing we did was change out the mattress to an 72" X 80" Verlo pillow top mattress. https://verlo.com/
Added two handles to the bed frame to make it much easier to side it over.
Added two 12V LED Dimmable reading lights at the headboard. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076B ... UTF8&psc=1

Good job! We have had our rig for going on 7 years now, and one thing I have no regrets is all the mods I have done over the years. A few have come and gone, but pretty much all of them have added a positive enjoyment to the rig. Fun to do too!

Nice job THarmann,
I took my medicine cabinet out and added 2 move shelves doubling our space in the cabinet.

Earl would never stop the mods/diy.

Ok, very nice. I really like the pull handles to slide bed frame. On my list to do!
I think I may check into investigate, try flush handles. Or nice drawer pull types.
Know DW not gonna like “farm handles”. :-(

And Thanks for idea.

Earl, have you or you gonna do handles too?

 

[connectedcamper]

The pull handles are on my list : )

What he said ^^. Pulling that bed back is a PITA. We're thinking of converting back to a queen size so I don't have to mess with it.

Curious why some of you have to move your beds?

 

[COTHAMM]

Al, cause DW does not like to be squeezed in between bed and wall. :-(

Our bed has to be moved every time we put the bedroom slide in or out. When put the slide in the bed has to be push to the opposite wall so the slide can come in. When the slide is out I have to push the bed back into the center of the bedroom. The bed foundation is on a slider. I could just let the slide come in and push the bed over but choose to not let the slide work harder than it needs to. The bed slides about 12-15".
