ANTRY OR UTCH
Depending on the kitchen layout of your recreation vehicle, you may have a pantry or
hutch that you can use to store items you wish to take with you as you travel and camp.
Make sure all items stored in the pantry or hutch are secured so they do not shift during
travel. This cabinetry has been designed to accommodate the normal camping items (i.e.,
paper plates, flatware, cookware, etc.) which are bulky but not necessarily heavy.
Remember your recreation vehicle's load capacity is designed by weight, not volume,
so you cannot necessarily use all available space.
If your pantry or hutch has sliding pantry shelves, they have been equipped with a locking
mechanism to keep them in place during transit. To secure the shelf in place, push it all of
the way in until the latch tab clicks into place. Always pull out slightly on the shelf to
make sure that it is stationary and secure in the transit position. To release the shelf, push
in on the tab and pull the shelf slowly towards you.
Your recreation vehicle's load capacity is designated by weight, not by volume, so
you cannot necessarily use all available space when loading the vehicle. Do not
exceed your GVWR and ensure you are loading the vehicle as evenly as you can for
the best possible handling. Ensure heavy items are secured so they do not shift during
travel.

OUNTERTOPS

To prevent permanent damage


Always use hot pads or trivets under hot pans, dishes, or heat producing appliances
such as frying pans.

Always use a cutting board; never use a knife on the countertop.

Avoid harsh chemicals such as drain cleaners, oven cleaners, etc.

Do not let cleaners with bleach set on the top. Wipe them off promptly.
For additional information on the removal of difficult stains or surface damage repair, refer
to the countertop manufacturer's user guide.
Your recreation vehicle may be equipped with one or both of the following countertops.
Laminate countertops (if so equipped)
Glass rings, food spills, water spots and smudges usually wipe off with a damp sponge.
Stubborn stains can be removed with a general-purpose spray cleaner. Some stains can be
removed by squeezing fresh lemon juice over the stain and allowing the juice to soak for
approximately forty-five minutes. After 45 minutes, sprinkle baking soda over the lemon
juice and rub with a soft cloth.
Solid surface countertops (if so equipped)
Solid surface materials are easy to care for, and if damaged, easy to repair. Soapy water,
ammonia based cleaners (not window cleaners as they can leave a waxy build up that may
dull the surface) or commercially available solid surface cleaners will remove most dirt
and residue from all types of finishes. A damp cloth followed by a dry towel will remove
watermarks.
Difficult stains can be removed from the matte finish with a green Scotch Brite® pad and a
mild abrasive cleaner.
