Nice work and all very well matched to the rig. Where did you find anything solid to attach the shelving too? I have a bear of a time finding anything solid in the walls of our rig to attach to.

I had a question sent to me as to how i anchored tv when traveling here are some pics of the current way that is working so far, i do use 4" foam so tv does not hit wall or anything else.

Shooster, MY wife says she needs a counter top extension too. How do I get that with Corian to match? Is it a dealer/manufacturer option?

The piece i used was from a kitchen sink cut out from a counter top i purchased @ Home Depot to replace mom's kitchen counter. It just happened to be almost identical in pattern.

I'd also like to add some of the wire shelving in the cabinets. How can you b e sure you hit some solid wood? Do stud finders work in a travel trailer?

Stud finders do work, i used one as well as looking for the tell tale paneling staples(i have wood studs in walls), i hit 2 studs in my application & these work great, i got them at Home Depot, easy install & a breeze to adjust.

Can you provide details on where you purchased the hardware for the shelf extension?
Great mods!
