Cabover Storage Cabinet
I find myself struggling to figure out what to store in the odd little cabinet on the passenger side of the overhead cab. It was a nice addition Lazy Daze did but it’s not very deep so limited in use. What do you use your cabinet for?

Note that we do not use the overhead cab for sleeping.

Books and maps, manuals for various appliances and rv systems. 

Previous owner stored guns there and added a lock.

Currently store my small air compressor, and spare sheets, though maps, books and manuals could go there too.

What I’ll like to do is add some wood to make the compartment deep enough to store my optics, tripods and maybe even cameras, since the carpet would make a good base to store such things.

Need to hang out somewhere that I can do a couple wood working projects, the above and a Baird pantry.

I asked Todd the same thing when he was giving me my walkthrough at the Mothership.  He said it would be a good place to put your rifle or shotgun.  I’m not real sure if he was kidding or not.

You know, that would be the perfect size for that!  Unfortunately, we sleep in the aft chamber so I would want it closer to me at night. 😉
Could be handy for spare ammo though . . . 🤔

Map books, Campground Guides, Atlases and the like. Holds plenty of that sort.

I have a bunch of Covid rapid antigen tests stored there. They're small, flat boxes, so they fit well in that shallow space. I've also got a roll of  wrapping paper that I need to give away, cuz I don't wrap anything any more.

It stores my laptop when underway. Also a couple paper atlases, and an Amazon fire tablet.

Thanks for all your input and suggestions!  Decided to go with the games idea for now.

I figured that spot would be for a quest staying up top. Ours is either empty or a blanket is in it. We still have spaces unused in ours.
