RV WORKSHOP
HANDY BARBECUE SHELF EXTENSION
I was constantly in fear when using my Weber Baby Q barbecue that it would fall off the exterior narrow fold-down table that is standard on most caravans . I decided to cut a large aluminium sheet to fit over the fold-down table , with two cut-outs to accommodate the table brackets of the caravan table .
I then pop-riveted low profile ‘ L ’ aluminium angle on the front of the aluminium shelf to stop the Weber Baby Q falling off the shelf . For added security , I added Velcro strips on the new shelf and also on the fold-down table .
When travelling , I simply lift the aluminium shelf off the side table and store it in my van ’ s tunnel boot , where it takes up no space at all .
