Nice job, I might look into doing something like that too. I've never had problems with mine, but for a couple dollars it seems like a decent mod. Our camper came with an outdoor kitchen that I thought was a gimmick... I LOVE that outdoor kitchen now. As a plus it has a 12volt dorm fridge that we keep drinks in. Don't have to go in and out of the camper to get a drink, don't have to wake the kids up during naps or nighttime to get a drink to enjoy the campfire, don't have to worry about inefficient gas/electric fridge and we have WAY more room to store stuff!
