Question Abt Cabs

SiriusXM is worth it to me. Bought the receiver on Amazon for $19.99. Paid 1 year service in advance. $240.00 including set up fees/taxes.

I'm a big fan of my top-bunk-kitchen, an idea I picked up from my trainer. A piece of plywood the size of the mattress, with eye hooks for bungees. The fridge (same as above) and the microwave each get 2 heavy rubber bungees, the crock pot gets a regular one that fits through the lid and handles. Love the crock pot - I use the slow cooker bags and really cheap plastic containers. These get thrown away so my only washing up is the ladle and the fork. I use Clorox wipes for these. I have a good knife but so far I've only used cubed stew meat which kinda falls apart. I don't do coffee but my trainer has a coffee pot. I occasionally use the microwave for tea or hot cocoa. I also keep a supply of ziplock bags in sandwich and gallon size for disposing of liquid or messy items.

I tend to not try to closely control the temperature when I'm stopped but I do get cold easily when I sleep, so I keep a large blanket on my bunk that is folded in half along the long axis. To start I fold back one layer then as it gets colder I can get under both halves.

B's Buddy, can you post a photo?

These are all excellent ideas that I would've never thought of before thank you. The ziplock bags can really come in handy because i know I can be a mess haha. Yeah, if you have any photos I would really like to see just so I can visualize what you're talking about.

These pics are from the initial installation in the Cascadia:

I can tell you right now that if you get in a wreck those bungees are probably going to be useless. Your kitchen is going to be raining bombs on the back of your head. I would find a much more secure way to lock those things down.

Otherwise, that's pretty cool!

I considered that during construction. Originally I was going to use tie down straps. The Cascadia has full height cabinets and the fridge and microwave are placed so that they would be stopped by the cabinets in the event of a forward collision. The crock pot is the biggest danger, but the Cascadia had very large seat backs and I felt protected if it became a projectile. I wish the photo showed the straps I added to keep the board in place.

Now that I'm in the T660 I'm toast.

The one inch nylon ratchet straps would probably work well. Don't underestimate the momentum those things will have. Imagine that fridge or that crockpot hitting a wall at about 50 mph. That's the amount of force you have to be able to hold back in a wreck. And those plastic cabinets are only a cheap plastic held on with a few screws. I don't know how much good they would do in a big impact.

And also consider a rollover. It's not just the forward momentum but they also have to stay in place if you roll sideways.

Cool idea though. Just make sure you go to the max to protect yourself.

Great photos, thanks for the ideas. And thanks to you too Brett I definitely agree safety should come first. Ill have to figure otu what kind of set up I can secure to make a great kitchen sort of area.
