Sink covers on or off

They stay on the sink.
Do you have the recessed sink with the Corian ountertops? Those will not move. Or do you have The kind that just sit on the surface mount sink that look like plastic?

They just look nice at an RV show. I don't think we've ever put ours in. The portable ice maker sits in the sink when we're traveling.

Ours is wood and only covers half of the sink. I believe it's supposed to be a cutting board but I made a real cutting board and the sink cover stays under the bed.

We keep them off and stored below the sink in the space provided for them. Similar for our stove top covers. Actually, we rarely use our sink covers. We'll pull one out if we do need a bit more counter space, but our rig has a somewhat usable area for a counter.

Our counter is "Corian", but it's so thin that it can be damaged if not properly cared for. The stove and sink covers are also Corian. The manufacturer has a space under the sink with a strap to secure them when in motion.

We learned our lesson the hard way. One time we left the stove top covers in place and hitting a pothole with just the right speed and lay of the road and sway of the rig, the front stove cover slid off and hit the floor, breaking off a piece of the molded edge. It was mostly fixed and unnoticeable now, but we learned and now store them below.

What we weren't able to fix was the little "dent" it put in the hardwood floor in front of the stove.

Here in the Northeast, there ARE no smooth roads! LOL :)

I suspect those who have DP's with air-ride suspensions aren't subject to the same forces as a normal sprung chassis. We're not in that group, so we store them. :)

We do not have a set in stone method for our sink covers while traveling down the road. Sometimes they are both in, one in one stored at times, or none in occasionally. No matter the configuration they do stay put even when traversing backroads for the perfect boondocking site.

We used to leave them on. Then one trip over exceptionally rough roads, one bounced out and gouged the floor. Now, DW puts them away.

Ours are in the garage at home. Took them off the first time we used the coach and have never put them back on.

Off - stored in a cupboard for the rare times needed.
