SUMMARY:another RV Project
DESCRIPTION:The console on the engine cover in my '92 RV was in bad shape. 
  It was made of MDF with Oak laminate and there were places where the lami
 nate was gone and the edges/corners were damaged.  Plus I didn't like the 
 way it was positioned.  It was off center toward the driver side making it
  hard for the wife to reach\, and my cup holder was too far forward.  I ha
 d to lean forward to reach my drink and had to look down to put t back.\n\
 n\nI went through 4 different cardboard templates before we decided on a f
 inal design.  I kept the trays and added a small waste basket along with p
 encil cups as well as a space for tissues. The waste basket turned out to 
 be perfect to line with the small bags at Lowe's.  When I run low I ask th
 e check out clerk if I can snag a few!\n\nConstruction is all Red Oak exce
 pt the plywood used for the bottom of the trays\, stained with Ipswitch Pi
 ne and sprayed with precat lacquer.\n\n  \n\nTo protect the console from d
 amage when the engine cover is pulled I wanted to be able to remove it.  I
  used a piece of aluminum angle in front that fits into a groove.  The rea
 r blocks have rare earth magnets in them that match up to heavy washers in
  the bottom of the console.  the front and rear mount blocks are made of P
 oplar.  I am going to go cut the front one down as low as possible and rem
 ake the rear mounts to match that height.  The new rear mounts will be oak
  and shaped to match the console.  Lowering it will also let the brass pen
 cil cups stick out the top a little more.
