RV Design

It's always interesting to look at different motor homes and see the various design details that manufacturers come up with. Sometimes it's the little things that make life a bit easier or that make people say "I wish we had that in our rig!"


One of the things that everyone remarks about in our Alpine coach is the garbage chute. Because we have the Hydro-Hot heating system for both heating and hot water, we don't have a hot water tank. So in the corner by the sink where it would have gone there is instead an opening --

Which opens into a compartment that is accessed from the outside --

Into that compartment goes the kitchen garbage can --

With room along side of it for spare bags --

And when it's all closed up, who would suspect that the garbage is hiding inside?

In Al, the first motor home we had, the garbage can was ALWAYS in the way when I was working in the kitchen! I really like this design feature of Auntie Violet's.
