Many many thanks to Tizi for this great idea. As noted, a tight fit, but now the front wardrobe on our Igloo is a lot more practical. Installed ELFA baskets. Had to assemble them inside the wardrobe because they are a tight fit but the space is now far more practical.

I like it! So...it's just a free standing frame with drawers of various sizes? Where did you purchase yours? Do you have the model numbers by any chance?

Here is the frame model and size I used.

Medium 7-Runner Frame Platinum
SKU#: 10013321
18" x 21" x 29" h

My wardrobe opening is 17" but about 20" on the interior so I have to assemble the frame in the cabinet - not a big deal - it just hammers together with a rubber mallet.

I chose a variety of basket sizes but here is the SKU for the large basket. We also chose the platinum mesh - they also have white and perhaps other colors (IDK) but I like the platinum.

elfa Medium Mesh 3-Runner Platinum
SKU#: 10022535
16-7/8" x 20-3/4" x 11-1/4" h

Here is the link to the page that has the frames and drawers. Good luck. http://www.containerstore.com/s/elfa/components/elfa-drawers-accessories/123

Installed the Lagun table mount for the dinette table. What a big difference, wish we would have done this sooner as it creates so much additional room.

Put up homemade ply and foam covers for 4 solar panels and heki skylight. We are parked under a large messy tree. So this will hopefully protect from debris and ice falling during the winter.

We decided to remove the microwave since we never use it and repurpose the space to bring along some stuff we will use. (pic of microwave not our camper but similar)

Removing the unit revealed that there was essentially a mass junction box behind it.

So we framed it out with an easily removable back to make wiring accessible.

Wife is happy. We have room for a crock pot, coffee maker, soda machine and juicer.

We have some tension rods on order keep everything in place for travel.

Now, if the rain will quit for a day, the next project is to remove the AC unit and replace with a simple vent...

Looks nice. I found a cabinet door company and had 6 various size doors made. I stained and finished and they look great. You have room now but if you removed that 2" blank and horizontal frame, you gain that much more and a door would match the adjacent. That's if....it's finished behind the blank front. I got lucky on mine except for 1.
It's fun to find new storage ideas and you did a nice job.
