I hate having the hoses and shore power cables sitting on the ground. I saw a picture of this on the internet and I thought it was brilliant. I’ve since lost the link of the original, but here’s my version.
To make this work, I combined two really good (but still inexpensive) suction cups and a pair of mommy clips. The hose and cable goes into the hooks and they go on to the suction cups.

We’re really happy with our Coachmen Apex 215RBK but there are a few design flaws. Early this summer we discovered one of the biggest.

There were several surprising things about the outdoor kitchen. There are 4 large holes in the back of the kitchen and a few small ones that are superhighways for critters. On nice days we tend to leave the door open so this had to be fixed. Coleman generally makes good products but the included grill…
