kitchen island help

not sure where to post this but i have a 2016 Rockwood 8299BS and it has a kitchen island where the double sinks are located there is a lot of space under that is hard for me to access. we keep some cleaning items and the trash pail in there but to remove the trash container is difficult on a good day. i wonder if any one has made an access door on the end or possibly on the opposite side to make it more user friendly.

Hopefully someone will have done the mod you've asked about. In the mean time, if you'll post a pic of the inside and outside of the cabinet some of us other modder's can tell you how to go about modifying the cabinet to make access easier.

I bought several cabinet doors from FR and added some doors to spaces that didn't have them and also added some drawers to other spaces. It increased our storage space a lot.

Good luck

You might also be able to install pull-out shelves, or at least a bottom shelf that will pull-out so you can access things more easily.

On some models with the kitchen island I've seen the manufacturer positions the cabinet doors on the same side as yours but towards the ends separated by a blank panel that's directly under the sink. You'd need some good carpentry skills to attempt that kind of mod, or hire somebody to do it for you.

I just put the trash container at the end of the Island. Usually gets empty daily as not to big. Later RJD

They're not what I'd call cheap, but I bought 6 doors and all the hardware for ~$300. So that's not too bad.
