CHANGING OUT RV COUNTER TOPS

[rivrrts429]

it's the hole right above the sink...again...I have a plan....I think...people always have the "you should have" after they see what I did... so want the idea's before I do it

I'm just guessing at what your plan is. I'm not saying what you should or shouldn't do.

You're the teacher and I'm the student in this deal. It's helping me gather my own ideas. Was just having fun with what you'll come up with.

 

[Heylam]

I'd have a stainless rack made that inserts in the hole (like a medicine chest inserts into a bathroom wall). Then use it to hold dish soap, sponges, etc.

I like this idea but how do you get it to stay in place if its removable? That's why I said magnets in my previous post.

 

[Heylam]

lol....that's my idea...get your own

Genius! [emoji14] lol

 

[rivrrts429]

I was gonna screw it like a med chest to the sides...

That works. Was just thinking of ways to do it where you don't see any hardware. You know... Kustom lol

 

[Heylam]

I think it would look and work great. How about using Zeuss connectors to secure it?

 

[spectra3279]

Build a spice rack that is just screwed in on the sides. When you need to access the plumbing, pull 2 screws and slide it out. Easy peazy.

That's a damn fine idea right there! I like it!! I think if it were in a contrasting finish to the tiles it would really pop.

 

[spectra3279]

that was my first idea...then when I went to the stainless tile... I wanted to go with a metal box...

I think I would use wood. The contrast might be pretty nice.

 

[OutCole'd]

my problem with the wood idea,matching exzisting wood...

These guys are amazing. You can bring them what you made in wood, and a sample door out of the RV for a color match and it will be about as exact as possible.

 

[fmo24]

That's a great solution. Did you decide on tile yet?

 

[warpt71]

All that work to get rid of mirrors...................lol

 

[OCMerrill]

I would have spent my time getting that Cummins out of there and a Ford V-10 installed.

 

[Heylam]

Looks great!! I would put a retaining rod from side to side so you can leave bottles in place while you drive without them falling out.

 

[spectra3279]

my problem with the wood idea,matching exzisting wood...

Doesn't have to match as it will be surrounded by the tile or whatever you put around it. It becomes it's own entity in there.

 

[spectra3279]

All that work to get rid of mirrors...................lol

And you ended up with a stainless mirror.😃

 

[Lunatic Fringe]

If your placing the booze bottles on that insert, add a few LED button lights under them.
Nice ambient glow while getting plowed.:thumbsup

 

[JB in so cal]

Looks beautiful!!!
























What are you gettin' next?:cool


Maybe get some puzzles or take up origami...

It does look nice.

 

[Paul65k]

I like it........looking forward to seeing it in person as I'm sure there is more contrast than I can see in the pics!!

 

[MSum661]

I like it! Looks good.

 

[Mandelon]

What do you grout it with? Just normal grout?

 

[rivrrts429]

That looks sweet, Steve! Are you gonna use the silicone based grout?

 

[rivrrts429]

yes the stuff from r&r grout..//

That stuff looks cool and pliable for an RV application. Make videos so it's easier on the rest of us when it's our turn lol.

Huge difference [emoji106]

 

[rush1]

What about getting rid of those cheesy rv lights under cabinet and put some nice dimmable holagen lights under there :thumbsup

 

[rivergames]

question about microwaves...I wanna change out the black microwave... its a convection/micro wave....what do you need that for???

Hands :tbi

[RIVERDAZE]

question about microwaves...I wanna change out the black microwave... its a convection/micro wave....what do you need that for???

Convection make the Micro a second oven.

 

[Mandelon]

Convection makes the micro a real oven, for cooking fresh hot brownies. Camping is better with fresh hot brownies and Mint Chip ice cream. :thumbsup

 

[mesquito_creek]

so then I don't need a convection oven....we've never made brownies...

We have a super expensive convection / microwave at our house that has never been convected!... Most expensive pop corn popper on the block...

 

[Flying_Lavey]

well... scrap that ides... there's no cabinet over the microwave,... so the bolts go through the slide out roof........

Did you pop that top front cover off and see how's it mounted? I'd almost guarantee there is a bracket that is attached to the structure above then the microwave is attached to that. Likely slides on.

 

[Flying_Lavey]

you might be right.... I poped off the front cover and seen the nut certs on the top... but come to think of it ,... I didn't see ant bolts coming through the nut cert... usally the bolts are real long

Google the make and model # of the unit and "installation". I almost guarantee it'll come up with some literature that will answer your questions.

Did you try looking up the model # info? I think he was just agreeing with my comment about doing so. He just forgot to quote or add the little up arrows.

There's nothing wrong with showing your talents Steve. I think some like to bust your balls for a reaction, nothing personal and u shouldn't let it get to u. It's only the interweb.

You are one of the reasons I come to this site. :tbi

Don't let 'em get to you Steve.

 

[DaBank]

Steve please stop posted things you buy and your projects. You know I have the same passion and desire to make everything I touch better or bring it back to how it was new. I just don't like taking pictures and if I did I would post up all my stuff too. I get ideals from you and get excited and start looking at stuff I never thought about. I am running out of room and time to do all this stuff. I want to do the more is less lifestyle and buy a larger boat in SD and live on that.
I am joking about not posting and I would say you are one of the many reasons alot of members are even on this site. You do let people get you going but that just shows you are a real person. I have too many faults of my own and I am reminded everyday about them from friends and family and don't need a new place to come and hear about them too.lol But if I had to come on here everyday and get my balls budget just for the fuck of it I would go nuts and fire back like you because I can't let shit go either. I am sure some people do it in good fun and other's have ill will. But I do thank you for making this a goto community and one I spend a couple hours a day with.
I think people should be respectful to people and complement people a little more when someone gives them some knowledge or even entertainment.

Steve "F" anyone that gives you serious shit...if they are just messing with you then it's all in fun but sometimes I see how serious some of these folks get and are, I wonder what their life is like and how bitter they must be to stalk you and your posts and have nothing but negative comments to say about your projects or your purchases and flips.. So what if you flip stuff, so what if you have a passion to buy, fix, flip or just sell because you love doing projects...I have a really old friend that has gone through about 200 cars, a few houses and a few boats because he buys stuff on a whim and then decides AH This is not for me or I am bored...we laugh and say What's Next? not a bunch of negative insulting crap...keep doing what makes you happy, I for one love watching all your posts I am a jack of all trades and I can fix almost anything I put my mind to fixing but you have taught me so much from watching your videos and your flips giving me so many ideas and HOW TO's I say to myself COOL way to fix it, or do it...Like I said at the start "F" anyone that gives you serious shit......

Steve honestly you have made me go through this thread I don't know how many times...I'm a DIY kind of guy and I love the fact that you do the research like the grout deal...I watched all the videos..in fact I drug my wife to the computer on Saturday and we went through every pic of the coach...I want it when your done and I will figure out how to buy it...Jealousy is a really bad thing..it's like Cancer. That is where the hate is ginned up..

Keep the posts up...you enjoy it and so do MOST of us..

Most of the comments in this thread were positive and shared ideas along the lines of what you were asking for. You CHOSE to focus on the few comments that decided to bust your balls some.

If you can't take a little ball busting, I am pretty sure you are in the wrong place.

 

[Mandelon]

If someone busted Steve's balls, I would expect he would have them fixed and better than before in no time. Or sell said balls and get a new set that are larger and have more power.
