GMC Motorhome Stove Top

This is how our kitchen counter has looked since we rebuilt the entire thing a few winters back. Teri wanted all the counter space she could get so we bought a double burner portable stove top. I rigged it so it could plug into our propane system with a quick disconnect. It worked great for us. When we found this flush mount stove top we figured it would be the best of both worlds.

Our Friend Bill made us a template for the hole.

Bill also did the cutting of the hole.

He has his own wood shop and lets Teri use  it, and his tools, anytime she wants. But, Teri was working Monday so I drove the GMC over to Bill's and supervised this job. He is also the one that did a lot of the work on our glass engine cover.

There is the hole and Bill trimming it a little.

Here is the final resting place for the stove top. Ran to the local lumber yard and picked up some sink clamps to secure it.

This is going to be nice. We will need to protect the wall to the left but that won't be hard. I still have the propane line to hook up. We purchased this new for 87 dollars and 15 shipping from a surplus/salvage yard. Well worth the money. Built in ignitor.
One more thing: Last week I mentioned buying American for service, when you can. Well, the ScanGauge was gone exactly one week before it returned. Back light is working and the unit was cleaned and looks like a brand new unit. That is service for a 4 year old piece that we rely on daily. Can't beat that kind of service. When I was selling the LED lights I tried to be the same way. Someone had a problem, no questions asked. Send it back for a free replacement. Those LEDs are assembled in Mesa, Az. and the company stands behind them.
Hope everyone is having a great week. Teri and I are preparing to spend next week in the GMC. Can't wait. Temperatures have finally dropped below 100 and next week should be great sleeping weather at night.
Thanks for stopping by.
