New here, so be gentle.
New to me 2021 ORV 23DBS. Previous owner removed the outdoor kitchen for storage but gave me the unit. Regarding the plumbing routing/layout, would anyone be able to send me a pic under the slide out of how it's supposed to look? It's doesn't look like rocket science, but just curious if I done good. haha

Here you go - this is from our 2019 23DBS. I snapped this while I had the lower bunk out working on a different modification.

Thank you!
I knew it couldn't be that complicated, but boy is that drain hose stiff and have to bend like a mother to close up.
Cheers!

We really wanted the 23DBS when we got our 24RLS. The floorplan was almost identical to the Keystone Outback we had-really like the access to both sides of the bed.
I just saw the bunkhouse as wasted space though.

The bunkhouse was a compromise we made given the wide variety of ways we use the camper. On many of our southwest trips our youngest daughter who lives in AZ joins us so it's nice to have a good place for her to sleep that doesn't have to be torn down and remade on a daily basis. On longer trips we use the top bunk for extra storage space as the 23DBS is a bit limited in that area. Overall for us it works great.

travmath - one of the issues I had with the outdoor kitchen was the weak latches that hold it in place. They routinely would get bounced out of place while rolling down the road letting the loose unit move around. I added a small block of plywood with a metal plate on top. This significantly closed the gap between the side wall where the latch goes. No more arriving to find things beat up inside there due to it coming loose.

That makes perfect sense as I had to space out the catch on the latch for the fold up lower bunk for the same reason.
