zero Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 I had to pretty much start from scratch inside my Chinook. All the old interior was rotted out. After putting in the new floor and supports and walls, I started roughing in the new cabinets, counter-top, etc. Now has two refrigerators and a built-in inverter microwave. Also a new Walmart bed (converted futon). It's kind of tricky making it all fit. Even worse - finding a way to keep the weight somewhat even on both sides. All the heavy stuff seems to wind up on the driver's side. Two batteries, propane tank, two refrigerators, counter-top, stove top, water tanks, inverters, converter, etc. I'm going to have to rethink things a bit and transfer more weight to the passenger side. I like having the two small refrigerators. One is a three-way British Dometic absorbtion and the other a Norcold 12 volt DC compressor frige. Gives us two options and when only using one, the other can be for storage. I may try to find a way to mount the batteries underneath on the other side to help balance it all a bit. It still looks rough but it's getting there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolphinite no longer here Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Boy JD, when you do a job, you do it right! I'm particularly impressed with what I think is a recessed cabinet knob. Am I right? If so, great idea! John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, great idea! John Yes, I had to recess the knob due to the bed that flips over and folds out, No clearance for a knob that sticks out.
