Working on some things to keep my mind occupied. After our last trip with kittens we made a few alterations in order to give an out of site place for their bed as well as litter box
Under the bunk beds is a storage compartment. You have to raise up lower bed to access it. There was only a 9x17" thin panel blocking it from main room. I tapped that out and held onto it. I can put it right back later if needed.

I had some leftover oak wood from some cabinets I built so I stained and sealed it then cut it down to right size.

The camera flash shows more shine off the fresh sealer. The color actually blended quite well. This pic didn't do it justice.

Now I went looking for an access opening...

It isn't centered for a reason. The furnace is that opening on the right. The flexible duct for the heater vent comes out just to right of cost entrance and goes up. I had to avoid it.
Cats have taken to ig well. We have them an oversized bed under there as well as a tall litter box. We'll keep an air freshener under there to help but DW always uses plugin freshners when we camp.
Just saw a post yesterday that pluggin freshners can be hazardous to animals, the fellas dog almost died. May be worth googling. We do not use them.
