Hi all,
Another member posted their counter top flip up extensions, using wood cutting boards, and I realize that I did this mod months ago, but forgot to post here! I decided to post anyway, as the other member has a very different kitchen layout, with no island. The solution here will apply to a broad range of floorplans - basically anyone who has an island in their floorplan.
Why this mod? The island is much shorter in this unit compared to earlier models. I believe this is so that when the residential fridge option is installed, the island is short enough that the lower drawer freezer can be opened. So, even though we have the RV fridge with the freezer on top, all models come with the smaller island. This means that there is almost no counter space beside the large double sink.
Solution? Grab some 1-1.5" thick wood cutting boards, along with some flip up shelf brackets and install them on either side of the island, to greatly increase working counter space. And, always have cutting boards handy as well!
Details:
-larger cutting board dimensions: 20"x15"x1.5" with 16" folding shelf brackets.
