Counter top extension

I thought some of these ideas were neat...

FLIP-UP Table Extension

Having one in front of the entrance door might not be a good idea however...

we just went to a shop that does counter tops and had them make up an extension...I then put that piece on 2 brackets.

Manufacture might have something that matches, or you could keep looking for something with more counter space to start with. :B

I think I've even seen those for sale in Camping World. It probably won't match your countertop but might coordinate with it - perhaps a wood-look that would look like a butcher block insert. Google for other sources, too, and definitely call the manufacturer.

Our MH, 2014 Sunseeker 3010DS, has a flip-up extension at the end of the counter, but it is right in front of the door. When it is up, no one can go in or out. Nice selling feature, but we have never used it.

I took the flip TV shelf from the bedroom and mounted it to the end of the counter.
It's not big but realy helps.

Any good cabinet shop that makes counter tops should be able to match the existing laminate closely. Nine years means that patterns and colors that existed then may be discontinued but there are a lot of choices and your existing pattern may still be in production.

If one of the above doesn't have a match, it'll probably be difficult to find (assuming you're SOL with the camper's manufacturer).
These laminates are easily applied to a substrate with contact cement and trimmed with a router. If you have access to a router, I bet you can make one.

I made an extension for our counter top, but we had a problem. The only place for an extension had the water heater and generator controls immediately under so a hinged extension was out of the question.

To solve this I made slotted holes in shelf supports and put screws in the edge of the cabinet.




Here is the finished extension in place.


If you have a problem with access where the extension would go, this is one way around it.

Nice job matching the radius on the existing counter top.
