Thought I'd add some pictures of mine finished with the exception of the quick disconnect for the gas and water lines which will hopefully happen next week. 4 coats of spar urethane gave it a pretty thick and smooth finish. I think it will give me some good service, But I'll still have to keep it mostly out of the rain because of the plywood. The canopy extends completely over the kitchen, but not sure if I'd chance it.
In the trailer. The latch on the front, bottom will keep it from moving in/out or up/down. There is also a cleat in the back that will keep that end from bouncing.
Pull it out about half way.
Pull out the legs and extend so they are about where they need to be:
Pull out the rest of the way and fine tune the legs if needed. There is a brace wider than the opening that is screwed across the back of the kitchen unit that keeps it from falling out:
Raise the other set of legs: (Sorry for the crappy picture, I think the motion of the dog screwed up the camera)
Unfold, and this is when I'd be hooking up the propane and water connections:
Just a picture with all the doors open, showing the plates, bowls, cups, and cutlery (still need to get some nice knives).
The bottom left drawer fits all of the pots and pans (3 liter and 5 liter pots, 10 and 14" frying pans) plus coffee mugs and extra cups. Not sure what I'll put in the upper compartment. May larger dish washing tubs? The second has spices, foil, saran wrap, zip lock bags, and trash bags.
This show the kitchen all the way out. You can see why I couldn't make these doors hinge open:
Can't wait to use it in two weeks for the first camping trip of spring. It was so nice today in the Northeast I got my first sunburn on my neck and nose. Weird since it was only 60 deg.
