Having had
several requests for information about our kitchen perhaps it’s time I
set to and put something together.
As it was
installed when we got our pre-loved Trek Bwana. I can’t take credit for
the design or build but I have made some mods which I believe are
improvements.
It is not the
standard kitchen unit that Trek supply. The original owner (a builder)
said he'd had it built I assume by a cabinet maker.
When you
think about it some of the priorities are convenience, storage space,
robustness and weight. We find the first three are met well but at 50kg
on the two outside legs it would be nice to have a bit less weight.
I hope the
pictures will save many words but if you would like any info that I have
not covered please ask, I would be happy to help.
Briefly the
unit is almost the length of the trailer and slides in and out from the
tail gate I will describe the mechanism later. Constructed from 12mm
Melamine coated particle board except for the bench top which is Laminex
covered. Being located on the right hand side of the trailer, when in
place it is out of the way at the end of the canopy leaving a maximum of
free space.
