I find it sad that people on here have to “brag” that they only run the dishwasher every other day or twice a week. Stop telling people what you can afford and imply that anything over your budget is wasteful. I suggested two dishwashers to my daughter when they were building in 2004. My son-in-law thought it was a waste until the first week they were in their house. My daughter loves, loves to cook and bake and they have a system for using both dishwashers. For the record, I only had room for one dishwasher and sometimes run ours twice a day. My husband loves to find new recipes-and it seems they require every dish, pot, pan in our kitchen! We both wish we had space for a second one. To the OP-sink in the middle of the two dishwashers and the trash to the left of the left one. Enjoy!
Terrib962, please look into a tapmaster if you are doing all those dishes by hand. You will save a lot of water.
Different people have different lifestyles. When all of our children were still living at home, we would run our dishwasher at LEAST twice a day. Granted, we had a larger sized family, and as a homeschooling family we tended to eat all meals at home and rarely ate heavily processed food or used paper or plastic in great quantities. When you put dishwashers through the paces like that, you tend to wear them out faster than average. One time, when we were waiting for the delivery of a new dishwasher, I timed us on how long we spent washing dishes by hand each day. We averaged over 2 hours per day washing and drying dishes, because in those large quantities you can’t just leave them drying in a rack as you’d run out of counter space. That time average was with multiple people helping do dishes, it takes longer if the task fell to one person. I haven’t bothered to time myself on doing dishes by hand now that we are empty nesters, but with hubby working from home permanently (so still home for all meals) and me working out of the house 24-30 hrs per week, and we still cook most breakfasts and dinners without using heavily processed foods, we still run our dishwasher once most every evening. It doesn’t always get as fully loaded as it used to, but I sure don’t run it barely loaded. I still hand wash my good knives, cast iron, extra large pots and pans, and my wine glasses, but I’m happy to leave the rest for the dishwasher.
Campers move. Everything on an open shelves will need to be removed before you take the camper on the road. Do you really want to do that every time you travel?
Agree with all cautions. Would not be attaching anything to camper walls that cannot be held in place by something like 3M velcro poster hangers or 3M removable hooks. When camper in motion nothing can be loose inside - everything behind a closed door which has secure latches or place in a bin on the floor. Even a shelf with a bar won’t work - stuff will fall off - think broken bottles with contents spilled all over everything or broken decor items. To add color to your bath, new shower curtain, towels, rug, stick on sign / art & done. Happy trails!
It also matters where you live since wallpaper does not stay stuck if the camper freezes over the winter. I aslo ageree with all the other things about the structure and storage.
