Even more different!

We find the absence of counter space can be a problem. To overcome this, I have built a portable counter unit which sits on top of the stove. It provides us with nearly 4 sq.ft. of extra workspace. When the stove is needed, the portable is placed on the bed where it continues to serve it's purpose as a prep space, or a pot rest. When on the bed, it can be turned over, so that liquids are fully contained inside it's base.

great idea . I like the curtain also.how is that shelve attacked below back window. Is there a way to do that without putting holes in the fiberglass?

I drilled through with stainless bolts and nylock nuts on the outside. Add a little caulk under the fender washers.

Your 'portable counter unit' is awesome, it looks like it came with the trailer! Perfect match with the laminate/wood. You could market this! -Bea

I covered mine back in 2017 with a premade serving tray, covered the 2 burner stock stove back then. With the new recessed stove there is a glass cover? Is your's glass?

We've got the same serving tray for our 21. Fits almost perfectly over the old 2 burner stove.

That's the second time in 24 hours you have helped my aging eyes, Dave, thanks..... I knew it was a 19, just did not think of the stove. He has done some nice things with the front and back areas, makes the 19 seem like the 21NE-------
