I added a counter top extension and thought I'd share how I did it.
I got the shelf through my dealer. It's from a shelf in another Keystone model that is also used as a counter extension and was the same pattern.
Since the paneling is just 1/4" thick a frame work is needed to make it solid enough.
This picture shows what it looks like inside the cabinet.

This picture shows two 1x4 boards that I screwed to the frame work.

This picture shows a couple boards I stuck in between the first boards in the area the brackets will be. These happen to be 3/4" plywood just because I had a couple scrap pieces that happened to be the size I needed.

The finished result.


This is how I store my sewer hose. Bought a vinyl fence post from Lowe's. Screwed an end cap to one end and hinged the other. Made steel mounts for both ends. I had to shim the hinged end to clear the gas pipe that runs along the frame.
