If you own a Minnie 2201DS..........

If you own a Winnebago 2201DS trailer, I suggest that you consider doing a little modification to the shelf in the wardrobe.

We're on a multi week trip and had to bring along clothing for both cold and warm weather. My DW uses the right side of the wardrobe for her clothes. We've traveled before with quite a bit of clothing on hangers and stuff on the shelf and never had a problem until the day before yesterday. I opened the wardrobe door and I quickly noticed that the shelf was on an angle. It had pulled away from where it was attached to the rear wall of the trailer.....and I couldn't see how it was attached (no visible screws or hardware). It was hanging down about 2".

The repair was quite easy. I made a wood cleat and screwed it in place. While I was at it, I made a cleat for the left end of the shelf also.

Now, I'm the first one to admit that the DW was perhaps over stressing the capacity of the shelf and clothes hangar bar.....but you know that women "have to have choices". Hopefully, she will be a little more conservative with the amount of clothing in the future. But, considering the length of the shelf and clothes bar, I think Winnebago should modify their design and provide more support where the shelf meets the back wall.

But....if you have a 2201DS, you might want to make a modification before you have a problem.
