ROO 233s curbside storage converted to cooking area

Hey there...
This is my first post.

Bought this 2014 233s Fall 2016.
Lurked here all winter, started upgrades this Spring.
Finally ready to go.

Wow, nice work there. An outside kitchen is a great upgrade.

Thanks, the Idea is to cook right at a rest-stop with 0 setup.
It is just under the awning...so I should be ok in light rain...
any heavier weather?...I might get wet using the 2 burner stove.

That's a CAMP CHEF, Ranger II.

Looks great!. If I had done it, it would be half-a$$ed...

You've been a busy man this spring with all of your other upgrades!

An outstanding useful modification. How can I get a copy of your plans?

Nice! Do you need a gas leak detector in the compartment?

I guess a leak detector would be good there, since hot water tank is in there as well? I did put this shut off...but that's no guarantee...right?

Door came from this guy on EBAY:

bottomdollarsurplusinc on eBay

OR

madisonwholesale2013 on eBay

I think I paid about 45.00 for it.
It is about 15" x 42"

Sweet! I'd be worried about the heat from that right burner, but it's hard to really tell if its an issue from a few pics. Looks professional though, I want one!

yeah...I'll see how the heat on the RIGHT burner is going to affect that area...

I was considering a shield of aluminum there.
