T@G Kitchen Mods & Folding Tables

Postby wincrasher » Sat Jan 24, 2015 6:40 pm

My T@G Max did not come with any drawers, shelves or bins in the galley cabinet. I tried organizing it with a fabric tool bag, but it still looked like a big 'ole mess:

So I bought some 1/4" birch boards (3 1/2" x 24") this week at Lowes and decided to make a shelf and some partitions to hold all the kitchen ware.

Step 1 clear it out:

Step 2 build the bin for the dishware, glasses and utensils. I'm certainly not a skilled carpenter, but it turned out serviceable. It's velcroed to the back of the cabinet so it will stay put while traveling. I built the shelf so that it could be taken out to service the water pump. I used 3M red tape to hold quarter-round braces (was afraid to screw into the trailer's wood as there is a water tank and wiring back there). The shelf breaks down into two parts, held together with wood tabs and a velcro strip. It needed a leg for support, so I screwed one in made from a piece of quarter-round. Sounds flimsy, but it all fits snuggly and seems solid enough.

Step 3 load up my gear:

I like I can now get to all my utensils and they aren't all scattered in the bottom of a bag.Image
Now I have room for some pantry items under the shelf:

I also was having an issue with my folding table. The T@G only has 3 1/2" under the bed for storage. My table folded to 4" or so. So I found these on Amazon:

What is nice about these is that the tops are not plastic, but aluminum. So I can set my grill on the big one.

Looks great, for me good organization is a must in a small galley. I have a similar aluminum table that I got from Walmart that use to sit a cooler on when I cook so I do not have to keep sliding it in and out of the lower galley
