Has anyone modded the passthrough?

[KyleC]

Looking to make a slide-out outdoor sink and table. Looking for ideas using the front pass-through storage. I need part of it on the driver's side for storage of blocks and hitch equipment. I want to use 75% for this project to pull out on the passenger side.

The "Air Opus" uses this stainless set up. I like it but don't think I have the money/time/skills to replicate it

Thanks in advance!

I have not, but have been planning to for some time now. My Class A is old (1988) but for some time now I have been using a table at the front pass thru (Only full pass thru I have on my Southwind) which is located just behind the entrance door.

I use this table for an electric griddle and cook there more often than any other single place while camping. (that location is under the awning.) I keep many of the items and gear I use in that compartment.

I have been planning for some time to build in a table that slides out attached to the rear wall of that compartment. I would like to add water to it with a sink, but it is very low (Because it is in the basement) and might be too low for the grey water tank. I am still working on the design. I may use a blue aux tank for that grey water. or some other solution. (Like a tee at the bottom of the 3 inch hose when using a full hook up site.)

So, while I have yet to have anything concrete to offer here yet, I like the thread.

Also, you can buy pre-built slide out kitchens as kits, but they are expensive.

Yeah I see your point about being low. I have a bumper pull travel trailer. I wonder if you could put gas shocks on something to make it come up after sliding out for your case?
As for the water I thought about getting a separate container for the grey water waste.

I should have been more clear. If I were to build a slide out kitchen counter like the OP pictured, I could do it at a great height for standing there. The counter top would not be too low for someone standing there using it.

The problem would be that a sink in that counter top would have the drain below, and that might be too low to gravity feed into my grey water system, and additionally, when the grey water tank is fairly full, I would not want it backfeeding into this low sink, while in storage or in use.

I am not a big fan of using a portable blue waste container for the sink, but that would be the easiest to make.

2nd choice would be a tee at the point where my 3 inch waste water hose goes into a ground port for a full service site. But even if I use this option, I would still need another choice for when I am boondocking or camping at a less than full service site.

Last choice, hardest to perform, but most likely best, is to attach a pump, and float system on a small tank in that storage locker, that pumps the grey gravity feeds the drain of the sink to a small tank, and then pumps the water to the higher level so it can then drain into the on board grey water system.
