I did replace mine with a butcher block countertop I bought in the AS IS section of IKEA. It worked out just right and I agree that the lighter wood really helps in such a small space. It's also about 4 very important inches longer on the right side by the sink.

Upload pictures to a free hosting site. I use photobucket. Create free account. Open your hosting site page, upload image, usually a drag and drop action, then, select picture link, "copy" text. Come here, "paste text".

once the link text is pasted in the body of the post it will link to the picture automatically..

The text itself will look a lot like this: (this line purposely corrupted)

But the proper line will cause this:




PM me if you are still having problems..

 Finally finished the counter top and table mod used 3/4" Baltic birch plywood with 100% tung oil for a finish. Have a larger sink S/S 6" deep and 14" by 14" bowl. The lite colored wood makes the camper brighter and gives the camper a much better look. No more heavy particle board that can be damaged by water.Big smile Sorry no pictures for now do not know how will need someone to do that for me, but they will come in time.     David and Danette

Currently in the running is the Camplite 21RBS, Evergreen Element 26SRK, FR Aviator Electra.

The Camplite is most likely the winner. The Aviators seem to be impossible to find, the Element is now an orphan, though we did go look at three yesterday.

We started with about 8 that we were interested in, a couple have been discontinued/orphaned, some we were not happy with the build quality/cost ratio. Some the dealer network is very poor.

But those are some that are all composites and or aluminium. The current hold up on ordering is our love for the pod.. and it's community.

Edit: and a part of the hold up is my belief that Airstream will see the light and put a composite floor in.. but I doubt it will happen in my lifetime.

Once a Pod friend always a Pod friend!!
