I have a shelf in my bedroom for the TV that matches the counter. I ordered one along with the brackets from the place I bought my camper. It came directly from Jayco and I was told around 4-6 weeks. I received it in 3 weeks. The price for top and brackets was $39.59 + shipping. I personally figured it would be higher so I was happy to pay it.

I made a frame work that the screws would go into since the end of the cabinet is very then plywood. This framework in attached to the end boards of the cabinet. I took a picture....it might be hard to understand what I did but it is very very solid, and no chance of pulling the plywood from the cabinet since it is only held in with staples. Please note that their are screws missing because I wasn't done when the picture was taken. They are in now



The bottom board is attached to the end boards of the cabinet frame.

Nice addition. You can never have too much counter space.

Wow nice work. Was it hard to find the perfect match for the counter material?

Very nice job. Good recycling idea too

We've done the same in different places. Our older MH had no bathroom counter space so put a fold up extension over the toilet area. Made it easier for the DW to do makeup and hair.

Also made a new table for the dinette that had an extension off the end. That way the table could be used as additional counter space, especially for things like baking when you need to spread out.

A friend just carried a piece of plywood that would go completely over the dinette, seat back to seat back, for the same thing. Used a disposable plastic table cloth for it. Cleanup was to toss it in the trash.

A lot of ways to get extra space when it is needed.

Reminds me of the mod I did in my trailer. Here's a link:

The TV shelf in the bedroom was the same match, so I just ordered another TV shelf

Nice job. I like the "sbebenelli" handle as well, I like the one I have and has been flawless in the duck blind! Do you have the 1 series or the 2?
