Drill no holes / condiment rack


I was envious of the rack Keath had installed in his 19. It is just above the dinette table and holds condiments. Cost him a pretty penny. And then the penny dropped ...
It occurred to me, just today, that the RubberMaid organizers I bought for silverware etc. would work as a condiment tray. They have a lip on one side so you can clip several of them together, but in this case that lip fits over the lip on the window frame, just above the dinette.

No holes were drilled in making this modification.

I have big plans on building a nice magazine rack, with a small shelf under it. One for beside the dinette too.

Re: Drill no holes / condiment rack

If you go here, you will see the range of sizes they offer. Quite a few choices for different applications. Not sure what retail store would carry them all. I found three of them at Save On Foods.

After you click on the link, click on product specifications to see all the sizes.

Super idea Glenn! Perhaps one on the sink window might come in handy as well!

Re: Drill no holes / condiment rack

I thought the condiment rack made with the small Rubbermaid tray was such a good idea I bought several for our 17B. Unfortunately it only fit on the kitchen window and the front dinette side windows. So I went searching for something similar. I finally found a basket (Deko-System) at the Container Store. My wife needed a "bed side" table so I got the shallow basket and made a little box of 1/8 inch lauan (sp?) so little things would not fall through. There are different sizes so I'm getting more for other areas.
