Well said. The ones that completely fill the cabinet space are usually front vented, which is not the case with this one.

Good question. I'll ask when we finalize the build sheet. Many of these things come out in the wash.

Thank you for the tip. One regular 120v under the flip up counter is on the sheet. The "standard" build includes 3 120v outlets, but doesn't say where they are located. I will add a GFCI outlet to...

May get the ez lube axle.
No real "winterizing" in San Antonio. Doesn't freeze here - except once every few years for one night or so. Friends who own trailers here don't bother to winterize.

It isn't an issue for us-- just us two in the trailer. If you swapped the sink/stove locations as well, coming in from "the side" would not be a problem.

The swap doesn't gain anything except aesthetics in the 17. It would separate the kitchen window from the dinette window instead of them being right next to each other. Jim suggested it, and I liked...

Yeah, I was thinking that at first, but some have done it and not reported any issues. I'll have to get more details from ETI on whether it causes storage problems.

A more accurately measured drawing this time. This one shows the stove top mounted normally, resulting in about 3" of space between them, but of course, more room behind for a spice rack, etc. Sink...

Yeah, the list of reasons is piling up. Several have also pointed out that the Maxx Fan evacuates any cooking odors quite well.

Yeah, pretty much everything's a compromise in these small trailers. There is a plus and a minus to each and every build decision we've made. We probably won't do much cooking on it, preferring to...

Good point. "Calling all 17 owners with a 2 burner stove turned sideways and/or the sink and stove reversed."

Or better yet, if a 17 owner could go to the trouble of measuring the entire...

We are not getting a stove cover, opting instead for the 'Myron mod' approach with a homemade cutting board/cover. We like the idea of spice storage behind the stove as well. So we went with the...

Maybe so. We like the little battery powered led puck lights in cabinets too. Have used one at home in a linen closet and it's been going strong for 2 years now.

Thought about it after you suggested it before Donna. Would add a couple inches laterally, but we also like the space behind when its mounted normally.

It's still an option, at $105 CAD. But, I'm leaning against it, since our MKX is a lower profile vehicle, and a lower profile trailer means less wind resistance.
