Pennine Plodder- I like the pocket idea...mmmm this sounds like a practical thing to do on my privacy curtains that span each bunk end? I am always groping around for my glasses, watch & booklight..
I have found some green 70's retro tv trays at the local Goodwill thrift store. I use one as extra counter space near my outdoor stove.
some of the modifications we have done:
The hutch across from the dinette had drawers, but the drawers were always coming out of the glides. OH made them into cupboards. Using plywood for the top shelf, the bottom was left exposed to the vinyl floor. We used the front of the original drawers for the cupboard doors. It made lots more storage in those 2 areas! plus I am not getting irritated by catawompas drawers. Link to a pic of the drawers turned into cupboards.

The cupboard in the next section that has the wheel-well, was helped by OH making a shelf there too. so that we wouldn't be piling items on the wheel area, plus makes it a little neater to stack things in there. Link to picture :

When we are camping in one spot for more than a couple of days, I wanted more shelving. We made a portable shelf that can be taken apart for when we are popped down. We set it up in the galley area. It is made of 2 cheap spring loaded shower curtain rods, and kitchen maid organizer baskets that I got at the local charity thrift shop. OH uses "c" clamps to attach the basket shelves firmly. This setup is friendly to our ceiling. no drilling required .
