Minor word adjustments: it's a drain rack, not basket

The tour continues. I've cleared spaces off enough...put things away...so I can show a little more before I head out for an afternoon walk.

 

I mentioned that the sink is a generously-sized "stainless steel". I put that in quotes because it looks like stainless steel but it's already a bit scuffed. I suspect a lightweight and possibly inferior alloy. I'm not complaining, though. It's more than big enough for anything I'd be washing, especially as long as I'm boondocking. To fill this sink would take way too much water. As a rule, I have a small dishpan in the sink, as you see here, to collect water and for washing dishes later. In this collage, you can see more clearly the roll-up style drain rack. It usually lives under the sink when not in use.

The faucet is a nice style: high relief, with a pull-down head that can spray or stream. I don't think it's an unusual design any more, but I still love it and consider it essential.

There's pretty good counter space, enough to truly clutter things if I've a mind. In the corner there is a box that some of you might recognize from the Panettone topic. Yes, there's still a bit in there. Atop the box is a batch of cardamom rolls and a batch of korpula (the Finnish answer to biscotti) that my neighbor baked and gave me before I left home.

I won't bother pulling all the doors and drawers open, but I'll show you the dish storage and some of the cooking and prep gear I brought along: those that are in the cupboards above that counter.

I mentioned that the kitchen designers might have intended a drawer for spices. I'm just guessing, but this double-drawer arrangement, with slots, makes me wonder. At any rate, there's no way I could fit enough spices into that top drawer! These two drawers are one on top of the other from the same pull.

The bottom is most easily exposed.

It took me a few days to remember that the top drawer was even there!

Beneath that drawer is a pull-out for the trash can.

Finally, some of the furniture. I very much like having an actual table with chairs, unlike the dinette system we had in the previous Princessmobile. There's storage in the bench at the left. My largest cooking pots are in there.

At the back of the rig is a couch that folds out into a queen-sized bed. I have some fruit in the basket at the right-hand end. Behind the musical instruments on the left is an amaryllis bulb thinking about blooming, and a healthy basil plant that I bought after arriving here.
