We are curious as to the experience of others regarding the wall area behind the stove and sink. How have you protected the wall fabric from heat and splatters?

As shown in the picture, we opted for a two-burner stove turned 90 degrees to provide greater countertop space between the sink and stove.

If you choose the oven option, there is an integral cover that folds up when in use and helps to keep the splashes and grease off of the back wall. Doesn't do anything for the side bulkhead though.

We've alway had the stove cover which protects the wall when the stove is in use... that wouldn't help with a sideways instl tho'.
We did use a small toaster oven on the counter between the stove and sink last outing. I put a bamboo cutting board behind it in case the back of the oven got hot (it didn't).

After 7 months of ownership have had no problems with heat or spatters surrounding our standard issue 2-burner stove. We're fine with the stock installation.

If you don't have a wooden cutting board to prob on the wall, you can purchase those flexible cutting mats and use those on the outside wall and well as the inside wall. I bought a three-pack of them at Wal-Mart for less than $10. Double-duty, great for chopping vegetables too!

Are you sure that you didn't get our trailer by mistake? Oh wait, our pickup isn't until next week

Well, same counter top, optional window, and stove turned 90 degrees made me think it was a photo of ours. Nice to see there's other folks with similar good taste.

Hi Ron!
You are going to love it! We did a camp-out in our driveway last Saturday, lol. The morning coffee just tasted better for some reason.

All,
Thanks for the replies and shared ideas. You reinforced many of the ideas we had discussed.

Finally took a picture in our 15. If you get a cover you get a side. These can be ordered from a number of RV suppliers in Canada and US. They make one for 2 burner. The side becomes your back on yours. Another option is a tri- fold splatter shield available at most housewares stores.

In an earlier post, we asked for opinions about the 19’s galley area, specifically keeping the outside wall clean of potential cooking splatters. We appreciate the many comments. Thank you.
We decided to go ahead and install a Formica panel to match the standard Escape countertops. We purchased a 3’ x 8’ sheet of matte Giallo Granite laminate from Home Depot. Cutting and installation was a fun project. The laminate is held in place by the backsplash at the bottom, the range hood at the top, a short strip of mounding at the left, and mounding around the window. It is not permanently adhered, should we ever decide to remove it. The total materials cost was about $60.
We have lots of laminate left over. We installed one sheet in the cabinet below the sink and stove to protect the shelf surface. Likewise, there are several small pieces that will become protective surfaces within other storage spaces.
Lastly, my next project is to make a range cover with yet more of the left over laminate. And when not in use over the stovetop, it will be used as a serving tray.

Now that's a nice backsplash. Well done.

[paulschram]

Looks fantastic...!

[Ruthe]

Great idea

[Greggo]

We don't do a lot of serious cooking inside but no splatter prob's. We had a casita for years that had the stove adjacent to the bed. No prob's there either.

[dbailey]

That backsplash looks excellent. Worth doing on appearance alone, even if you don't need to worry about splatter.

[cpaharley2008]

looks great, will you be attending the Rally next month for an "up close" look?

[Scruffy Varmint]

Thanks all for the delightful comments. The galley really stands out nicely now. The next project is to use some of the left over Formica to make a range cover that will double as a serving tray.
Unfortunately, we will not be able to attend the Bandon rally. The school year isn't over and the school district likes the teachers to finish out the year. ;-)

I meant the Osoyoos Rally in June.

[Scruffy Varmint]

Hi Jim!
Oops, too many rallies to look forward too! Unfortunately, we won't make Osoyoos either.
