I had this bottle opener for a year before I figured out where to put it. I’m deathly afraid of putting holes in the Azdel walls. I’m probably being wimpy about it but I’m not willing to take a chance.
I finally realized that I could mount it with a screw and nut right in to the refrigerator panel right next to the kitchen. Even if I screwed it up, I could always buy a replacement for a few bucks!
I really like the magnet. No one has an excuse for leaving a bottle cap on the ground.
Installation
I didn’t use the stock screws to install it. I wanted to make sure I gave the plastic cover as much help as possible. I pre-drilled the holes and used pan-head stainless steel screws, nuts and washers to mount it. I took the opener to the store to make sure I matched the head to the original screws.
I used Loctite on the threads to make sure they didn’t vibrate out.
One of the great things about the Coachmen Apex 215RBK is the crazy amount of storage. The bathroom cabinets are huge and the cabinet over the sink is really big too. The problem with both of these cabinets is without shelves that much space isn’t useful. We used standard wire shelves that you can get…
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.
Almost no cold air from the AC gets past the entertainment center into the bedroom!!! This made for a very hot night until my wife figured out if we rotated the TV 90 degrees so it sat between our feet then the air could get through. This was a genius work around.
Our first trailer was a Jayco Jayfeather Sport 197. It was our introduction to camping but it had some shortcomings. So we sat down and made a list of features we wanted in an upgrade. It was a fairly short list but it took us months to narrow down to the trailer we wanted Our…
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…
I’m not particularly paranoid by nature, but the internet can sure make you that way. After reading enough posts about propane tanks being stolen, I decided to do a simple mod to secure the tanks on my 216RBK. I drilled a hole through the giant wing-nut and a matching pair through the security bar that…
I’m old. I lean on things. I happened to lean on the outdoor socket on my 215RBK when I stood up from placing the X-Chocks and it moved. A lot. I realized that they were using the foam on the outlet cover to seal the giant hole in the side of the trailer. And since…
