I decided to do a modification to my pass through on my 2013 ST22BH.
With our old RV and our new on I alway hated trying to utilize the middle of the pass through. I never carried anything long enough to go all the way across and was always using roasting sticks to reach and pull back items that had been forced to the middle.
So I thought a pull out "drawer was in order.
I am too cheap to spend the $200+ price for full extension slides that could extend a drawer over 5 feet out the side of the unit.
So, I built a box.
And I installed some cheap casters that do not swivel upside down to the deck of the passthrough.
These bare all the weight of the drawer.
You also may see how I re-used some fishing pole holders to hold my roasting stick and those misc. Manual override tools and the so called towel bars.
I also cut some deep groves into 2 X 4's to act as guides left to right. And if you notice those are shelf bracket holders that ride in the grooves to keep the drawer from tipping out.
A couple of screws stop the "guides" so the drawer cant be pulled all the way out.
And finally a home made latch keeps the drawer from ever pushing open the door on a corner and extending out while on the road.
Now I keep some heavy items way in the pass through and stack all my chairs and stuff in the middle. I actually have a little extra room for small things left!
There is still room to the right to store some long items if needed.
So for me it is worth it.
I lost a little room under the slide. 1 1/2 inch to be exact but more than made up for it with the ease of storing more in the center of the unit.
And I don't care much about the added weight as my unit is about 4500 lbs dry. So I have some room for "add ons"
I would guess the whole thing added about 30 lbs.
Just wanted to share.
