Mini counter top?

I have a 2007 shamrock 21ss we bought about 2 years ago used. The previous owners only used about 10 times. They didn't even mount all the towel racks ect. That came with the camper! So this weekend I'm deep cleaning and restocking for a trip next week and came across this little counter top with a brace attached on the bottom. I had totally forgotten about this piece! Thing is, I have no idea where it goes!! I have looked all over the place! Does this piece attach to counter, the table or used somewhere on the wall? Where ever it goes, the piece that connects with the end on attached to the countertop is missing! Any info about this little countertop would be great! My only complaint about the camper is lack of counter space, so this would be wonderful! If I can figure it out, that is! Thanks in advance!

With that floorplan, I don't see where a counter extension would fit. Is there a TV in the camper? It could be a flip-up shelf for a TV if its that dimensions (about 8 x 16").

I thought about that, but I think it is actually too big and the brace sticks out to far to be flush with the wall. It is about 12" x 16".

That's a side table for the outside grill. If you look at the back of it, you'll see the rail that attaches it to the grill rail.

Lack of counterspace was the #1 reason we eliminated the 21SS as a purchase.

I wouldn't mind having that outside table myself. Someone here made one and it got me thinking.

Do you have enough floor space for a small table like the old TV tray tables? If so, they have a few different models at Walmart. We found one that is a little bigger but still folds up to almost nothing when not needed.

We do have plenty of floor space but we also have 3 kids. On of which is almost 2! So the coffee pot has to be on a counter that can't be knocked over! But thanks anyway! I wish there was a electrical outlet on the slide out! There is space there, just no power!

We have that shelf with our 21SS Roo too. The rail outside is really long and since we don't have the grill I was thinking about making a small table to use as an outside prep area. I've found a 30" rail now I just need to find the hinged supports. Anybody know where I can get those?

Where on the slide out would you add the outlet? I'm curious.

On our model the overhead cabinets don't meet. There is a place between that would be perfect for a shelf for just about anything!

Do you have a picture? I pulled up one online on RV Trader and don't see where you would be talking about. I'm curious.

Ahhh. When I read your other post my little brain was thinking you meant in the kitchen area.

What if you just added a couple of wood strips at the bottom of each cabinet and then used a piece of shelving material to go on top of them and screw into them. I would also add a front edge so if you left something there during transport it might stay. Like this.



I was thinking of using this method in my hanging closet to have shelves in there.

Have a look at my counter extension. Ideal for when you have little or no counter space.

We had no counter space in out first TT so we bought this top that sits on the grates of the stove. It has a non-skid back and would stay in place while traveling. When we cooked we would just lay it on edge by the stove. It worked well..

Thumbs up Little Table

There should be a bar outside your camper for mounting a grill which is available on some models.
I have one of these myself.Take it outside and it should mount on that bar right next to where the grill is mounted.
This is a little work table for next to the grill.Pretty cool !

We bought a large bamboo cutting board at Walmart. Then we got some curtain rod end pieces and screwed them into the bottom (after doing quite a bit of measuring). This lets the board sit solidly without slipping on the rack atop our gas burners, providing nice additional counter space and cutting surface. We just lift it off and put it aside when using the burners. Didn't know they made them commercially.
