Hi All,
This is just me, but all I ever have in my fridge, is cd`s,
So when I replaced the side panel,
And I did it with a reg bus donor,
I didn't cut all of the holes into it.
I use a cooler anyway, and I fill my water from the inside,
cuz I like to wash it out before each trip.
I fact, I`m thinking of buying a nice light weight, folding kitchen,
and a three burner stove, and doing most, if not all
of my cooking outside, at the side of the van.
I don't like all of the cooking smells, fumes, and vapors
saturating the curtains and seats and my bed roll upstairs.
I`m thinking of taking the fridge right out, and having more
storage built in that area.
About all I need is the sink and a coffee maker.
So I might do away with the stove as well,
and install a 12 volt drip coffee maker.
JC...
