Great idea! I never thought of using the shelves and other hidden panels so it will match perfectly. I thought of making a countertop extension out of the laundry chute cover so it matches but havn't thought it out yet in my head.
I see you also got matching handles, were those from Keystone as well or were you able to find them at a home center?

The drawer face under the bench is the piece that I cut out from that panel. I took the entire end off and very carefully ran it through the table saw.. So I actually ended up with four straight edge's and a 1/8" gap all the way around![[emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/smile.gif "smile")
. The drawer face is flush with the panel when closed which I'm not exactly sure of yet, but we'll try it that way for a while.
The drawer faces under the bed are actually shelves from the pantry that I had left over from a previous mod of "slide out pantry". I cut two shelves to the size I needed.
All of the currently raw edges are going to get edging applied that I ordered from keystone dealer for $0.40/foot or something like that.

BUSTED again.... Boy, you guys are good.... No secrets around here LOL. Yeah, I figured if I ever had to put shelves back in, even if they didn't match perfect, who cares? Shelves are usually covered with stuff anyway.
I did buy handles from HomeDepot that are same color and shape but don't have the "two" bars on them just one solid piece. I put those in the bathroom and put the exact matching ones from the bathroom out on the new drawers. You can't really see them all at the same time but they still look same color. The next owner will probably never know (unless he's reading this).

We bought our first TT from Lakeshore. It was a Forest River Cherokee and we were very happy with the dealership. Just last October we traded it in and bought a Bullet 28 RLPR from a dealership in Troy Ohio. It was much closer, they had the model we wanted and was many thousand dollars cheaper than the Keystone dealership in our area of Nashville TN. We love this trailer and getting it ready for is first trip of 2012. We used it 2 and a half weeks before winterizing last year and it was a very comfortable.

Down in the twenties...kept us so warm we were kicking off covers. It was great.

Hope you had a great time! Dewinterized and sanitized my water lines yesterday as it looks like night time temps shouldn't drop much below 40 going forward. Going away for a few days next week!

We're heading out to sunny Flo-ra-day this weekend. Temps supposed to be in the low 70's at night so the furnace won't even see the first hint of an ignition spark!
Camper is dewinterized and washed, tires dead nut on 50 PSI all systems go!

Since my BP does not have that much counter space to speak of, and I didn't have a stove cover, I made one myself. I got a large cutting board and screwed some rubber door stoppers onto the bottom. I positioned them so they sit snug inside the stove rack and keep it from moving around. It is snug enough to leave it there during travel. Hopefully this will add to my counter space! The cutting board was 25.00 and the stoppers were about 2.00 for a total of about 27.00. The stain appears to match better in person as opposed to the photos.

Nice mod. I did something similiar to this for our old Forest River TT without the stoppers. It doesn't fit the Bullet's cook top so this is the perfect solution.
