Mods to our MOHO #1

Although we think our motorhome is near perfect, we've made a couple modifications we think other RVer's might find helpful. And maybe some of you who live in 'stick & brick' homes might find them interesting.

I'm going to start with the one I think is the best. Our 3 burner stove top is covered with 2 pieces of Corian counter top, each about 24" x 12", and each piece is fairly heavy and slippery. Taking both of those pieces off and carefully placing them somewhere out of the way each time we wanted to use the stove was, ummmm, difficult. I knew someday I'd drop one.

There are 2 short videos at the end of this posting showing how easy it is now to remove the pieces so we can use the stove.

Rick borrowed a friend's dremil tool and carved out 2 small indentations about 2 1/2 inches from the back and 1/2 inch deep. (I think others have carved the Corian using a drill bit.) A key point is to slant the indentations so the cover sits slightly slanted backwards. First, the rear cover is lifted and moved to the back and then the front cover is lifted and placed into the indentations on each side, slanted backwards. The back cover piece sits behind the front piece. Everyone who has seen it thinks it's a great idea and it's not difficult to accomplish. Rick finished the task within a few minutes with only minimal dust.
