Just a gentle reminder to those who have put lights on their awnings or under their RVs...please remember to turn them off when you go to bed for the night. There was someone parked next to us one time who had those flashing different colored lights under their awning and they were on all night. Nothing like sleeping to a neon sign!

That looks great! How did you get in there to install it?

With the sheets being 8 ft it's not that hard. Cut to the dimensions I needed, then stuck my arm and head into the compartment and put in a few screws. I couldn't make it all the way to the middle, but there is only like 1 ft between the 2 middle screws. I also hardwired in some LEDs on a switch for digging in there at night. The bottom pieces are similar to a coated particle board, but the edges are factory sealed to not swell when it gets wet. We use them all the time for commercial real estate signs at work and the pieces I used are cut offs that were laying around.

Be careful when you are putting the screws in. My fresh water tank is right alongside the pass thru compartment.

Well, I did the passthru slideout tray this weekend. I used mostly leftover materials from a shipping crate. All I bought were the casters and two 1x3's for the top of the rails.
I'll be sanding, staining, and clearcoating it after this weekend's camping trip. It holds my Camp Chef 30,000 BTU stove, Solaire infared grill, tool bag, EZ-up, and assorted other things. I have a leg for it to bring it out all the way, basically a 2x4 with a hole drilled every inch for about 2 ft so I can set it on any surface.
It isn't the fully OMG outdoor kitchen, but this way, it holds more. It is 6' with 8' runners so I can put large items on the other end separate of this, and It is 4" off the floor so I can fit a 2'x4' lifetime folding table and grill tool kit underneath it.
It slides out both ways to access the table.
I will be adding some 2" PVC pipes the length of the passthrough for fishing poles and High Power Rocket Launch Rail storage.
It's about a $40 project, and took me about 4 Hrs.

Next project: Adding internal drawers to the stupid 10" wide by 24" deep by 62" tall three shelf pantry-black-hole-endless cabinet-full-of cr*p next to the refrigerator.

Good point for others to think about. This pass thru is in the front, my water tank is in the back. When I screwed in my sheets of peg board, I screwed to the 2x2's and framing of the trailer. You need space behind the peg board anyway for the hooks to work properly.

"How did you mount your LED light strip under your rig? Are they just using the 3M tape and stuck to the black coroplast under your trailer, or did you put them on the beam somehow?
Mine are the kind with sticky tape on the back side the the LED strip. I wiped off the bottom of the frame beam with a soapy rag then used alcohol prep pads to get the remaining crud off then stuck the LEDS to the bottom of the frame.
The E-Bay kits (5 Meters) were exactly the correct length for the Sonic. After a week they came loose in a couple of places so I used clear Gorilla tape to stick them back. They survived a 2600 mile round trip to Colorado!
