Interesting. I'm thinking with that in place, a person could be stretched out, grab a beer from the fridge and heat up some food, w/o even getting up! ;) Will you be bolstering the braces at that cabinet or was the AC gear roughly the same weight?

Pictures show progress so far - the cabinet mid is done - you lose about 2" of headroom where it goes in. A secure latch system will be designed and installed to keep the door from flying open in case of an accident. This picture folder will get updated as the install gets completed. A flat plastic piece will slip above the microwave and extend out when in use to prevent hot steam from impinging directly on to the headliner. Pictures aren't captioned yet - the microwave is about 1/4" below the roof to allow for this and the running of some wires. > > Tom > '84 Westy "Spiny Norman" -- Neil n 65 kb image Myford Ready For Assembly http://tinyurl.com/64sx4rp '88 Slate Blue Westy to be named.
