That is a sweet idea!

Those look fantastic. Do you number them so you know what fits where?

I wonder if anyone has applied window tint to stop the light before it enters?

There are only 6 different size windows, so no number required. Up front, two portal windows over sink, one next to sink and two over dinette. In bedroom, two small portal (one each side) Two large fixed (one each side) and two opening (one each side). I also have, but did not take a photo, of one large covering for the rear window and a small cover for the AS door glass. For storage, I roll up like sized shades and store them in the space between the bed and closets.

SUPEREXCELLENT IDEA.
In the 1980s I used to cook for wilderness firefighters (and elk hunting camps) and I had "Kitchen cubbies" ... they were awkward and unwieldy for one person to move, but DID fit on the side of a largish mule for pack trips.

If I were designing my brand-new ones now, here's where I'd start:

Figure out your max measurements where you'll store it.
Divide it into 4 main sectional areas inside.
Do an experimental kitchen test-drive like below.

First, put all the ingredients/utensils/supplies you THINK you'll need for a week on one kitchen counter or in a big box. Then just use that collection only to cook food for at least 4 days. Anything you didn't use, move to the "backup section" while adding to the "priority section" anything unexpected you had to add in the last 4 days. Then refine your section measurements based on what you REALLY WANT in that cupboard -- don't waste a 5-inch tall shelf when you need just 3 inches for what goes in that section.

The campchamp photo above looks to me at first glance like pretty-but-too-big containers. I had herbs/spices on short shelves with "lazy susan" round thingies, nearly all baking dry goods in the lower right (taller shelf) section, etc.

Sigh... another perfectly fine idea thrown on to the trash heap by grim reality. I forgot about the wheel wells! There wasn't any place convenient in my kitchen design to put such a large thing that extended all the way back to the outer wall. I compromised by designing my shelves so that they held a single large storage container. This acts like a drawer, and can be taken outside.

Also, ever since I replaced the axles and put a lift kit in, there's typically about a 24" height from outside up to the trailer floor. Trying to negotiate that big thing out and down would be difficult.

In other words, "practical" went out the window, to be replaced by "pretty".

A portable bar, slides in the door to the camper or back of my truck for transportation. Makes a great place for hanging out outside.

That looks so inviting and fun.

We can't compete with that fun tiki bar but for us, it's installing a refrigerator ventilation kit and thermostat. It used to take all day on shore power during a hot day, say 95* to get even close to freezing temps. On like a 109* day, it took only 2 1/2 hours on shore power to get to freeze temperature!

Tsunami-v2 · 09-19-2017, 03:37 AM

What refrigerator ventilation kit did you use and where did you purchase it from?

This Dometic kit is for our 2016 FC 27FB. It's #80 posted on this thread.

These are the newest. A maple cutting board to replace the sagging metal top on the cooktop. Who can't use more workspace??? There was great joy in the jettison.

The redo of the massive dinette table top. We travel as a twosome and now we have a table/desk for two. Yea!!! It doesn't eat the living room space.

Also love love love the euro recliner, porcelain toilet, low flow shower head, new mattress, new floor, and statement slipcovers made from blankets purchased on the side of the road in Monument Valley. (Hey. Roadside shopping is awesome.) They are acrylic with 3 sides zippered. In and out of the washer/dryer in no time flat. Just my style.

Nice, very nice!

I also installed a recliner which was a great addition. A question on the maple board on the stove. How do you keep it in place or do you remove when you travel?

Thanks!

We happen to have the rubber slotted pads that fit over the burner grates. I do not remove it when we travel as it is very stable.

You can find a similar board setup at Camping World that uses the same hardware. It's just not as nice as the one lovingly made by my husband/best friend.

I don't know if they have maple which is best for cutting boards. We oil the board with mineral oil.

After going around and around w/AS on flat bottom bathroom sink in our 2017 Classic. The wife wanted a cutting board over the kitchen sink in place of Corina inserts that came w/AS.

**wulfraat** · 10-03-2017, 02:36 PM

Hands down removal of the dinette bench and replacement with a seating area that is integrated with the sofa.

This was on a 2008 25SS. We currently own a 2017 30' international and are going to modify in the same way.

I bought one of these cutting boards at Camping World. Probably not as nice as a the one lovingly made by your husband but it is still very nice. And coming with the rubber slotted pads and being predrilled was a bonus. It is much nicer than the metal top which was on the stove.

Thanks for the suggestion.
