Replace kitchen countertops in 3170ds Sunseeker

[Yorkranchgalnguy]

I have been having fun doing mods in our MH to make it western in decor.Now I am going to replace the kitchen countertops with knotty spruce butcher block that I've cut to fit, lightly stained and finished with 4 coats of marine gloss varathane. I'm also replacing the sink with hand hammered copper and the faucet with a pull down bronze residential single lever one.I've put up hammered copper-look backsplash, too. I haven't taken the Formica counter tops off yet and am hoping that the screws I feel on the 1x1s on the underside are the only fastener, and not a lot of glue, too! Anybody pulled counters off a 2014 Sunseeker? Perhaps Mr. Clemons could tell me how things are attached so I know before I make a mess? Any help or advice would be very much appreciated! Also ,if I ever learn how to post pictures, I'll show you my "horse " themed rustic mods.I'm just really technologically challenged-I can barely type!But I'mgoing to see some of this wonderful country in our motor home before I'm too decrepit!

Your kitchen remodel sounds beautiful. Would love to see a photo posted when you are finished. I have zero counter space in my Wildwood. Haven't figured how to get around that problem.

Wow sounds real nice. I just have a question since I'm intrigued by remodels. . . When the counter etc is taken out and a new remod is put in, how do you figure out the weight between what was used verses what is being put in? I know weight of everything figures into how much other things can be put in while traveling or do you just bring it to weigh station? I would love to change things up but a little worried about it but I am a worrier so I've heard.

Please, Mr. Clemens, any info on how the counters are attached? Thanks to any responses!

Just like normal counters. There are cleats and we screw through the cleats.

Thanks for the info,Mr. Clemens! I guess I'll be taking things apart pretty soon!
