Rear kitchens
Just wondering for those of you who have a trailer with a rear kitchen how you like it, if you have travel issues with a rear kitchen model. Thank you for your opinions. West Beachhouse

We have a 2012 Timber Ridge 240RKS, and I must admit we've had quite a bit more trouble with the cabinets and refrigerator than we've had on any previous TT or motorhome. My best guess would be that we've put a little over 12,000 miles on the Trailer since we got it, so we probably do cover a little more ground than many, but are far from extreme. Surprisingly, although we often travel dirt roads, most of the problems seem to happen with pavement travel.
The shelves tend to come out of the slots in the refrigerator even the ones with nothing on them, and then they are really wedged in tight and hard to put back. I'm surprised we haven't broken the walls on it yet. The rear cabinets have to be packed with pillows and lots of support bars. The cabinets being quite flimsy have also been falling apart with the screws backing out, cross braces breaking etc. This is part is because Outdoors RV went really cheap on the cabinet construction when compared to the Springdale trailer we traded in on it, but it also seems things are really getting bounced around. While I really like the floor layout, the rear of the trailer does seem to ride rough on the road and thus I'll probably look to have the bedroom in the back should we do a next time around. The kitchen we'd look to have in the middle like the last TT, or up front.
That said, having just come back from a trip, I need to go out and do a little work on the kitchen cabinets under the sink where they're falling apart from the bouncing.
