 Calendar Event: Has anybody done a sink backsplash?Posted: 15 Apr 2015 at 11:09am |
|
The only thing we miss in our 179 is an exhaust hood and a backsplash in the kitchen. Has anybody done one? If so, what method did you use to attach it to the walls?
Thanks, Geoff in CT, USA

We installed a clear plexiglass backsplash that covered the entire wall over the sink/stove cabinet. We used standard mirror clips for the plexiglass. We used short screws(3/4") with a small dab of glue on the threads before we screwed them into place. they have held fine for 3 years and over 20,000 miles.
Can't help you with the exhaust fan . However, we did mount a small(8") electric fan that will help ventilate the area. We always have to remove the smoke detector battery while cooking. Here is a page with a lot of our modifications-you can see the fan and backsplash. Click on a picture and there will be a description. https://plus.google.com/photos/111319885746168705351/albums/5995280008984464529?banner=pwa&authkey=CO6m8a2Up6a3Sw travel safe Vann |

I used almond laminate and glued it on with water base contact cement.

If you want something done right, do it yourself.

A hood is overkill on the pods, just use the bathroom fan, it will be just as effective.
