I have been reading articles on the forum for over a year and especially enjoy reading about ways members have modified their trailers. I'm planning of making another modification to my Sundance and wanted to run it by the members to see if anyone has already done this or if they have suggestions.
We have the Sundance 2900 RK and have an exterior compartment door that provides access under the kitchen countertop. While at a trailer show we noticed that one the competitor's products had a similar layout and they had an access door cut through the countertop and a wastebasket was in the compartment. I have partitioned the access compartment and have placed a wastebasket under the counter. I plan to cut a rectangular opening through the top of the counter and hinge the removed section to the existing counter. I thought I would add a piece of plywood under the counter with a slightly smaller rectangular opening as stop for the access door.
Has anyone tried this yet and if so, do you have any suggestions. My initial thought was to just have a small finger hole to reach in to open the hinged door, but also was considering a push and release latch to pop the door open. I have been putting this off for almost a year, trying to figure the best way to do it since it requires cutting into the countertop. I'm hoping to get other opinions on a better solution.
Thanks,
