Ordered 29g- bedroom slide ?
We ordered a 29g and it is suppose to arrive end of October. I will find out this answer when i check out unit, but wondering about it now.
The bed slides over a mattress supporting box(my term). Is that box available for storage, or could I modify it for a dog house?
Thanks for input and excited to get new trailer.

Hopefully this isn’t a stupid question, although my math might be off:
We’re considering the Momentum G-Class 21G, 25G, and 29G floorplans & features. We’re leaning towards the 21G, but we’re not 100% decided yet.
1. Is there *any* underbed storage at the foot-end of the 21G, 25G, or 29G bedframe? I realize that the bed & bedframe’s 80” length changes when the bed’s slide-out is extended or retracted.
2. When the bed slide is fully out/extended, there seems to be a hollow space at the foot of the bed. I realize that the generator is housed/fixed below the “front half” of the sliding 80” long bed frame.
3. The Onan 4K EVAP generator (website info) has a dimension of 30” deep, which is located in a fixed & vented storage compartment below the slide-out which contains the head of the bedframe.
4. This adjustable 80” length (reduced by about a 36” space with the bed slide extended) seems to leave about 36-40” of underbed space unaccounted for (at the foot) that seems to be unused.
5. Is this unused underbed space a safety feature related to the generator, or other wires, etc. below the foot of the sliding 80” bed length?
6. Is this unused underbed space a design flaw (wasted storage space), or is it intentional?
7. If this underbed space is intentionally empty: I wonder if this could be a space that could be used for a climate-controlled battery bank with inverter, etc. We’re definitely not planning on any clothes storage so close to the generator.
8. FYI: The 2021 models all have the top of the bed’s platform solidly attached to the bedframe (no hinges or struts). We knocked all around the bedframe’s foot (about 60”W x about 36” deep, with slide-out extended & 80” bedframe shorter), and it sounded completely hollow.
9. Any ideas? Has anyone heard of a similar bedframe mod in this situation?
Any feedback or forum discussion links is much appreciated.
Cheers,

whovian432,
The top of the under bed box is attached with only five screws. The generator is enclosed in a sealed sheet metal box and insulated on three sides with about six inches of insulation. There is an enclosed area about 9" x 24" that contains the backside of the outdoor shower valves and piping, city water inlet piping, selector valve for city or tank fill, battery disconnect switch, a 120 volt recepticle, generator electrical wiring and terminal box plus cable connections for tv. No useable room left.
The only useable space is the 10' x 32" that you access from the outside that I use to store two 15 ft. water hoses and filter, the hand crank, and electrical shore power cable. If neatly rolled up it all fits.
A box could be fabricated and installed between the left side of the bed support box and the sliding door. Have about 12" x 28" available.
