I just added shelving to the cabinet above our sink since it was turning into a complete mess. The cabinet is fairly large, but without a way to organize things we just piled junk in there. Our goal was to add a shelf that was inexpensive, matched the existing cabinets, and included a lip to prevent things from sliding off. We ended up spending about $20 on a sheet of 1/2" plywood and a 1"x2" while had paint, glue, caulk, and paneling adhesive laying around that we were able to use for the project. I ended up with one long shelf on the top with a 1" lip and the bottom shelf is divided 50/50.Here's a quick video showing how I built the shelf.https://youtu.be/OiomXZceuBMAnd a link to our blog posthttp://www.rvcircus.com/how-to-build-shelves-for-your-rv-cabinets/

I just replaced the entire cabinet. As usual, the original was too deep (16" or so, don't remember) but not tall enough to install the 2nd shelve without making the space above the shelve too small. Because of being too deep and too high, the lower corners of the doors were hitting my forehead all the time.

I ordered a new cabinet of standard 12" depth, and few inches taller than original. With shelve inside. While at it, the carpenter also shortened the adjacent microwave cabinet, to make it look more esthetic - this one also was abnormally deep.

Thanks! The project was fairly easy and it turned out to be a great match for our shoddy cabinets.

Love the Blog and Vids, you have done a lot of work to that rig. Our roof replacement is holding up great. Yours looks good.How did you end up texturing the ceiling?

Thanks! I wish we started to video the progress sooner. We're hoping to get a 2nd project trailer in the next few months and will be documenting that rebuild.

As for the ceiling, I just painted the it with a 1/2" nap roller and the texture matched up pretty good.
