Hello. We were looking at upgrading the counter top in our 77 palm beach. We want to keep the original stove/burners. We are going to change the sink and faucet out to an ikea unit. Does anyone have any recommendations on a counter top? Ive seen some of the ikea tops and they look nice. We want to go with a non wood surface. I dont have the tools (haha, I am not even in country) so I guess we would have someone measure/install it for us.

You can use anything for the counter top in the GMC that you can use in a house. I used Formica, Carl S. used a solid material (like Corian) and I think I've seen photos of a wood or bamboo one. There is nothing complicated about it and you could probably save money by taking the coach to the counter top shop so they don't have to travel.

As the counter on most GMC's is rather small, you also might be able to use a "remnant" from another job.

Here's a counter made from an Ikea desk top. ...

Ikea...
I THINK that is where Erica and Corey got the counter they installed at the TI rally.

This young couple had bought their coach as a basket case just one year before. While they did not have it "ready" for this past TI rally, they brought it anyway. They where installing the interior... AT THE RALLY.

Now that's multi-tasking!
