the new bh has a flip up counter. I wonder if you could buy it from parts and add it?

Mine is on order, so it will have that hopefully, but I'm going to opt for additional counter space, just looking at different ideas for now, a slide out counter extension under the range is probably the way I will go....

Something similar to these will increase the counter space and retain the existing storage space nicely....it's done on many of the upper end motorhomes...and can easily be installed on the 37BH...

flip up under the stove might work, would have to remove the top drawer. the pull out cabinet would be sweet, but the cabinet has an awful lot in it with the plumbing.

I didn't think there would be too much plumbing under the range? Yes, agree nothing could go on the sinks side...saw a 2018 37BH last night that had a flip up and the counter had been redesigned...hope thats what we are getting!
Brian any updates on the 37BH Counter?

This looks like it would be cheap and offer some GREAT movable counter space

Yes, crossed my mind as well, but was really trying to stay away from anything that would become a missile in an accident or even a quick stop...would have to be able to fold it up and stow away? or lock it to the floor somehow for transit? suction cups?

Found another 2018 37BH with this kitchen setup, this confirms to me this is what we'll get on the newer builds for 37BH kitchen counter...much better than before!

Yes, that is the newer faucet and location for the extension.

Hey Brian, we have the older not very user friendly configuration. We were considering moving things like in above pic, but doesn't look like we can move the multiplex buttons the way they are wired right now. (At least it doesn't look easy to us)
Can it be done easily? Have you done it?

Well, the switches are not really power switches with multiplex, so all you would need to do is add extensions. It's just Cat5 cable as I recall.
