OK, I know its not going to happen, but what I longed for on our trip!

I put a cup hook on the same rib as the paper towel holder, only on the right edge of the hatch (paper towels on left side). I sewed a ribbon loop on the towel, midway on the long side.

A quick project to hang wet dish towels. I put a small hook on one of the ribs of the hatch, tucked in so we don't poke ourselves. I added loops of ribbon to the sides of my dishtowels -I can now hang them to dry, have it handy and not go through so many paper towels!

This is where our BBQ and Magma pans are kept.

Here are the dividers we put in. We sought to maximize the flat surface. The wire shelf in the upper right cubby is from Bed Bath and Beyond.
