Hi All:
We have a very original,early,1976 Coachmen Royale wth a front kitchen that we are trying to keep as "original" as we can. The counter tops are brown "Butcher Block" pattern. Mary would like to have an extension to the counter top towards the back of the drivers seat. We are looking for a piece of that material that could be made into a hinged extension. The counter top or even just the surfacing material would be welcome.
Thanks
Jack & Mary Kincaid, Castro Valley, CA

Lowe's or Home Depot. The pattern may not be available any more. That's just standard "Formica" material (aka laminate).

Leisure Suit Jack,
As I mentioned in another post, that laminate may not still be in
production. You will have to look at the samples at a Lowe's/Home Depot or
other supplier.
However, you might contact Southland Motorhome in Georgia or other
GMC-oriented service/maintenance facility and see if they have any pieces of
countertop from a Coachmen. I had them replace our countertop four years
ago. I'm not saying they'll have ours hanging around but they may have done
others since then. They may even have a piece that has separated from the
base that may have the manufacturer and code printed on the back.
I really doubt that anyone on here has that part number in their heads or
written down anywhere. As to brand names you can check the websites of
Wilsonart or Formica. As a matter of fact, Formica is only producing
"butcherblock maple" as pattern at present. Wilsonart doesn't list anything
with "butcher" in the name. It isn't the 70's and the look of stone is in
for a few more years.

Jack,
Search for an rv salvage place (rv man's mall)in your area, there maybe other old SOB that may have it.
In Sacramento, Ca. there's RV Doctor George. A person can spend all day looking at items, and not see the same thing twice.
