Interior Under bunk draw system help

[Dingo]

Hi there guys just wanted to ask if anyone has replaced there bunk bed with a draw or cabinets. Due to space and the bottom bunk not being used that's all. If anyone can help that would be great thanks

Should be feasible.
If it increases the usability without the extra weight effect it's got to be good.

I think jayco can supply matching panels if you want to go down that path and I seem to remember that the big green shed has some which are a close match.

How're your carpentry skills? (Mine are appalling)

 

[Dingo]

Haha mine are not to bad lol thanks mate appreciate your help. This is going to sound dumb but what is the big green shed? lol

 

[bloke]

I assume he is referring to Bunnings as the big green shed?

I did this some years ago in my 16.49-2. Bought the front of the drawers through Jayco spares and the rest from Bunnings.
I simply copied the way the drawer near the door was fixed. Easy carpentry really. Hardest part was fitting the push button locks.
My tip is to copy an existing drawer and use it as a template.
Both drawers were and excellent addition.

Yep. Bunnings.

Part of the special vocabulary found on this site ....sorry for the confusion!

Others: WA....wait awhile
GOF.....refer to drover ....self designated

And many others

I think @Smirke did something similar, cannot quite remember off hand

could have been the toilet she had taken out and cupboards fitted

 

[Smirke]

Back in the land of reception!
Yes @bigcol , replaced ens with cupboards.

Hi matey just wanted to ask when you purchased the draw fronts did they custom make the sizes for you or is there only one size? Reason being mine would 880mm long each by 280mm high and i know its not a Jayco standard size. I tried calling them but had to leave a message to call back and surprisingly no call back lol.

Hi @Dingo. From memory there was only one size offered. I know I didn't specify the size rather had them match the existing drawer near the door of the 16.49-2.

Here's a pic of ours, it was factory fitted. Although cupboards rather than drawers.
