    Starboard has been great to work with for sink & countertop, also table. Tap Plastic did a commendable job with radius & bullnose finish work. A $$ idea ... the table top was 26”x20”, material cut to size was ~$58, four corner 2” radius & bullnose edge was ~$22, so Total was ~$80. Reasonable...

    Removable Dometic Countertop, Gorilla glued, custom fabricated brackets using a clip & pin mount. This one idea was way out of my league including the needed skill set. I am lucky to have supportive friends.

    Yeah, ditto. One very quick thought was grommets & carabiners? Maybe I can sweet talk my daughter-in-law :)

    I have not started on a build yet, but it is definitely in my future. Just happened upon it last night. The link would be the web address listed on the video. Machine or metal fabrication shop would be a good start. When I start looking I could post or send message. I would like to emulate a...

    The PWRBox looks interesting to use with my canoe, thanks for that link. Bioenno does carry several smaller LiFePo4 Batteries. I would love to have that BT capability though. I may end up getting their 40aH one to double with my canoe & a smaller playmate size Dometic 12v, specifically used as a...

    Hey Vic ... in lieu of drawers we initially had 2 Rubbermaid tubs with a large, bathroom sized, trash receptacle that fit snugly between the tubs.

    Grandby Shell Lite version, aka my best stab at a Sprinter Van substitute (happy life/happy wife). After 40 years, of tent camping, a heated place to make coffee was a big first step.

    Low cost DIY Lithium camper batteries.

    Two cents ... “if” you are pre-wired for solar, a great way to stay topped off when not driving around for a couple days, is a portable Flex soft cased panel, w/handle 5lbs, ~ 1/4 thick when folded. You will need to add a better solar controller to this setup, than what is provided with the...
