Trailer Life tips

Two tips from Trailer Life Magazine

Extra shelf space (from Trailer Life).

We have a wardrobe and drawer on each side of our bed, but no night stand space. Saw a tip in Trailer Life to cut off a piece of 12' pine shelving and lay it across the top of the open drawer.... When you don't need the shelf, it stows in the bottom of the closet. This also works in the kitchen, living room and anywhere else that you have a drawer and need more shelf (or counter) space. We got some stain to match the trim and polyurtherine to finish the boards for esthetic reasons.....

SCEEN for floor vents (from Trailer Life).

Murphy's Law says that if you drop a small object, it WILL go into the floor vent for the central heating system. We got a couple of feet of fiberglass window screen fabric and put a piece behind each of the floor vents..... Catches the dropped stuff, and the dirt and leaves that get tracked in to be vacuumed up easily. We removed the vents, laid the screen fabric down, pressed the vents back in and trimmed the excess screening.
