Sink covers

Any good ideas on how to keep the sink covers from bouncing out during travel?

I'd also like to know a solution to this problem. I just take mine off and store them. I use them for extra counter space when camping. It would be nice to know if there is a way to keep them from bouncing out.

I'd say no easy way. We just throw the sink cover on the bed along with the plate from the microwave. That thing seems to fly out on every trip.

I cut my stove top cover from the piece that was cut from a counter top to mount the sink. I glued a rubber pad to bottom to keep if from sliding around and store it under the dinette during travel, Total cost 20 mins of my time.

I have the same issue, but for the microwave plate you can put a small pillow in there to hold it in place or something else to hold it in place.

Sink covers in place in a A-Frame is a tough call! Remove and store! Now the (Micro-Plate) is easy if you use it as a (Bread Box)! Youroo!!

Sink covers, Another problem I had was the sink cover would half fall into sink and the top edge would rub a hole in the screen on the window. We now just put it on the bed when traveling.

When traveling we have a plastic "sink bottom" mat at the bottom and we lay our microwave glass dish on top of it and then the dish-rack with it's drip tray on top of that. Haven't had any problem with them popping out.

I just take mine off and stick it in the pantry. It pretty much stays there all season actually. I use the sink to put stuff like bread or bananas etc. that don't need to go in the fridge or get smashed in the pantry when traveling. But I always forget about the microwave glass! I guess I'm lucky it hasn't fallen out yet!

I don't find them particular functional while at camp either. Mine stays in the underbed storage compartment where it can bounce around to its hearts content. And probably does.

It does make a fine cutting board for veggies, cheese. But I store it on top of the bed covers with the micro plate too.

I put a dish towel down on the rack in the oven, then a sink cover, then a dish towel, then a sink cover and fold over the excess dish towel when we travel. Haven't used the oven at all (have a small convection/toaster oven that we usually use because it's electric, not propane).

We put a rubber backed mat on it,then the coffe maker and a roll of paper towels on it. Nothing has ever moved in about 6000 miles so far this year, includeing a couple panic stops and a trip thru a culvert in Canada.
