DVD storage

Another 5 minute job.... The pic on the left is the modified unit hanging in the camper. The one on the right is the one from the house, a bit bigger. However since the smaller unit that would "work" had to be cut to hang, I realized after the fact that I could have bought another large one (pic on right) and cut it to length or they may make the same style only shorter. Plus the larger one, if you look closely the hoops are bent different and actually hold the dvds better, oh well.

Simply cut the 'foot' hoop at bottom off, leaving bout 3/8" of rod below last dvd hoop for hanger attachment. This will leave the front legs a bit longer, Stand the rack vertically, standing on front legs push the rear of the rack down to bend all the hoops so you end up with some slope. I only got maybe 3/8-1/2". This is so the dvds will set at an angle when the rack is mounted to wall. Easy. I used plastic mirror clips to mount, course where I mounted there wasn't anything behind the bottom screws in 1/8" paneling, I had to add a piece of 1"x 2" inside the closet.

Im unsure if the dvd's will stay in on the road, think so, depends on the road :). I may just attach a small strap and velcro or rebend for more slope. At that point though Ill get another rack like the first one and start over. hmm... or just a piece of cord w/ loops and just cross from top to bottom, cool-done

Just another idea for simple storage. Lot of folks use the wire racks you can find most hardware stores for shelving in the camper. There easy to install, don't weigh anything, relatively inexpensive & can be used in odd places for storage. I've not used any because all I've seen are white. I painted this one with brown fusion paint, so I may add a couple more wire shelves like over bed windows.
