Hello all.
Tomorrow we’ll be picking up our, 2019 Autograph 79-4T. In our caravan we have a dedicated cutlery drawer but there doesn’t appear to be one in this motorhome. Can anyone else, who has this model, advice which drawer they use & the size of cutlery tray you use please?

TIA

We've got a 79-4i, we use the top drawer in the kitchen area as it's the shallowest and the obvious choice for a cutlery drawer.

It didn't come with a dedicated cutlery tray so I bought some inserts and trays from Amazon that fitted the bill.

I can't remember the size of it, I just measured it and divided up the space accordingly.

Can't remember if our two Bailey motorhomes, Autograph and now Alliance, came with cutlery drawers but we do have a plastic cutlery specific tray we use in the drawer under the oven. I think they are easy enough to get either at a caravan accessory shop or online Amazon/Ebay.

Thank you for taking time to respond. I’ve done the same.

Now we’ve got ours and are using it properly for the first time this weekend, I’m struggling to fathom out where the draining board/sink cover should be when washing up. It should be so simple but the only place I can find for this to sit, where it drains into the sink, is at the front, which means it juts out and is in the way when washing up. Now it’s either a very bad design feature or I’m being a complete idiot.

I don't think you're being a complete idiot, it sounds like you're using it the right way (the cut out on the underside which allows the scalloped edge to sit on the rim of the circular sink, it should then drain into the sink). Ours fits quite nicely.

We've found that you sometimes need to put something under the edge away from the sink to give it enough slope to drain properly.

Does this make sense?

Makes perfect sense and that the way our circular sink/draining board worked in our caravan, however in our motorhome it’s square

Ours is circular, I'm surprised they're so different
