Ok, this might belong in the stupid lazy guy question thread so I'm going to take a chance here in the hopes someone has done this and can save me some time in the morning. I recently acquired the little folding table and arm that covers the spice rack of a 72 Campmobile. I need to screw it in. How long are the screws and the diameter? The diameter is not so important but I don't want to poke holes through the table and cabinet. Everything I found looked good but on the edge of poking through if I cinch down to tight. Tomorrow I will start the hunt again at some specialized fastener places. So if you know or could back one out and measure that would be much appreciated. Not sure if the cabinet screw length is the same as the table. Again diameter would need to be a little more beefy for the older holes (especially the table) then the original but if you know that, it could give me a starting place. The time I spent hammering this out I my IPhone I could have had it done but everything is closed. Cheers |

Thanks Danwvw. Great starting point. Dudes working the counter could probably eyeball it and figure it out too. I will post my findings for anyone doing the same some day. |

Ok then, to complete the lamest technical project on The Samba, if you can call it Technical I used 2 #8 x 1/2 ss pan screws for the table at the top part of the arm, those holes were a bit chewed up. 2 #6 x 1/2 ss pan screws on the lower arm into the laminate of the cabinet. 6 x 5/8 brass wood screws for the hinges. The screws that hold the ss sink top to the cabinet are probably the correct metric size for the arm.
The spice rack table is the last piece I needed for the interior. The PO took it off some time ago and added the little Riviera table at sink height. Which is awesome extra counter space for cooking and such. The spice table used with a trivet is a good place to stash warm.
Cheers!

Nice little stove? Refillable? Propane? Gas? I just bought a little Propane Coleman stove at True Value but It's Not much of a stove. I was thinking of mounting it their too. Is there room for it there with the door closed and the shelf folded down with the stove on it?
Our favorite camping cook stove is this one with the Wok.
Note the Wok on the stove on the picnic table:

Nah, the stove is butane. I use it for coffee or as a spare if I camp light. Sometimes it's nice just to pull over along the coast/where ever, make lunch, and enjoy the view It has a case and fits between the driver seat and jump seat. I have a propane camp chief oven with a double burner on top for serious outings as I mainly cook outdoors. Cool Wok! Never seen one like that.
Happy trails |
