Good old Walmart. Still one of my favorite mods.

Using a jigsaw I contoured the cutting board edge to fit snug to the countertop. You can leave the edge straight if you want. There will be a gap if your countertop is rounded like mine. No other modifications to the board were made.

The brackets I used were Ultrawall Folding Shelf Brackets.

The cutting board I used was the same thickness as the countertop. This made it on the heavy side. I did this because the large standard thickness cutting board I used as a cover on the stovetop would warp and crack. Had that cutting board been made out of bamboo it would not have done so. So, if you use a standard thickness cutting board, I'd use bamboo. At the time I couldn't find one in the right size.

With a standard thickness cutting board you can probably use lighter weight brackets like these.

You will need to double the thickness of the board where the brackets attach in order for the board to be level with the countertop when it's in the upright position.

Cannot wait to get it. It is so new that it appears mine will be one of the first.
I have a 2019 355MBQS with an outdoor kitchen.

I guess this is technically correct. You have a sink and mini fridge in the area under stairs. But does not have a stove, correct?

Mine has a bigger fridge and gas grill on the rear slide, that is what I was referring to.

Grill and a mini frig although I turned the grill into a drawer because I don’t want to burn my rig down, the grill was pretty frightening in action. I bought a Weber Q grill and converted it to run off the rig propane, I carry it in the basement and hook it up with a 20’ quick disconnect propane line.

I stand correct then. That would be an outdoor kitchen then. Maybe I should have said it has a smaller one.

Agreed with you on the grill, I believe I posted pics of what I did with mine on this thread.

We have the 355MBQS, too, and with the residential fridge we weren't too concerned about the smaller one in the outdoor kitchen.

I kept my Capital Grille. It boils water great, can use other pots and pans on it, and we found a skillet that fits the grate perfectly. For grilling, I have a Weber Smokey Joe, Holland Companion and Green Mountain Davy Crockett that stay with the camper. Pretty much miniature versions of the grills at home.

Glad to see others with charcoal grills and a smoker.

I have the Weber Jumbo Joe and the WSM 18” for my cooking needs. That is why the Capital Grill is gone. I tried a skillet in it and while it worked, it was kind of messy and slow to cook for me. My 3 burner Coleman cooks much better, now looking for a larger skillet to take full advantage of the space.

On rainy days we watch movies in the RV. I have always thought the bar speaker and radio in our RVs were lacking. So here is my solution:

These are Dayton Audio speakers from Parts Express. So far I just went with a 3.0 setup but that space behind the TV is asking for a sub. Parts Express has a low profile powered 10” that is asking to be bought and placed in there. Just trying to convince the DW that it will not shake the camper apart. I told her I could not put it too loud anyway because we are in campgrounds. Just need a little low end to fill out the sound.
