For those not familiar, the Northern Lite 10-2 (2012) has a 5′ deep, 21″ wide, 13″ tall basement (unfortunately the door height is 8.5″ so there is a bit of a tradeoff). In fact, once behind the generator compartment, the basement widens out an additional 6″. Unfortunately, that space becomes somewhat lost, since it is difficult to get to.
In order to be able to get to and store items down here, the newer models do have plastic mold trays. Ours did not. Instead, we fabricated a very light drawer out of 1×4 firring strips and a 1/8″ piece of pine plywood. This was put together with SS screws and liquid nails. It is 21″ wide and 48″ deep. So when fully inserted, there will still be a 12″ space for extraneous items.
