  • Drawers for Storage?

    In my Reflection model the refrigerator, pantry and couch are on the driver's side and this side is 315 heavier than the other side. I am looking for options to put heavier items on the passenger side to counter the difference instead of adding to it. My options are either the kitchen wall cabinets or the drawers to put heavier items that would go in the pantry (canned goods). Will these support heavy items? These items would be put in baskets to keep them from sliding around. My pots and pans are under the dining room seat. I also plan on putting the water and beer in a container under the dining room table on the passenger side. There are also wall cabinets over the dining room table that can hold a lot of stuff.

    Do you have the same slide drive mechanism and number of rollers on both slides? Sometimes the lighter slide has a lighter design slide mechanism (it is this way on my Reflection 303RLS) making it unwise to load excessive weight into the slide not designed for this.

      My trailer has slides only on the drivers side which is the heavier side. This is why I am wanting to put more weight on the non slide side. With the refrigerator on the slide this will only add more weight as I put food in it.

        As far as the 'up above' cabinets, I would be reluctant to put heavier items up there. I don't know what their weight rating is but I don't think it is very much. We keep lighter things like bread, snacks and I keep my camera gear & laptop up there.
        But we have the same thinking as you, load light on the drivers side, if we have a case of beer and or water it is under the table when travelling.

          I have a side question about some other drawers. I have a washer/dryer optional setup which right now is set up for hanging clothes with a shelf below plus three drawers below the shelf. I am guessing if I wanted a w/d (which I don't) the drawers would come out. Is this correct? I am thinking maybe I could remove the drawers and make an area for storing heavier items. The location is on the passenger (light) side and close to the axles. I don't know how much weight the shelf or the drawers can handle.

            Yes the drawers would be removed to install the w/d combo.
