We have an end kitchen in our 2003 Autotrail Apache 600, and have found it a bit tight for room for food preparation when we have the TV on the top of the fridge. So I thought I'd make a little modification to give us an extra table top.
Not wanting it to look too out-of-place, I sourced a kitchen cabinet door from B&Q which wasn't a bad match to the motorhome's interior décor. (The camera has exaggerated the colour difference somewhat). A bit of measuring and fettling soon had a cut-out for the door handle and some fittings in place which hold the top in position over the kitchen drawer, and double as storage hooks when not in use.
The new table top is simply placed over the open drawer, and is held in place by its own weight.
OK, you wouldn't want to sit on it, but it's plenty strong enough for holding a couple of plates of food, and some gentle chopping at the sink end. Should make life a bit easier.
Now, we just need a chance to get out and use it!:thumb:
