Camco 43545 Bamboo Cutting Board with Counter Edge Grip
A full-size, 18 x 14 inch bamboo prep surface built for tight RV and camper kitchens. The counter edge grip locks the board against your countertop edge for hands-free stability, while the juice groove catches runoff and keeps your workspace cleaner.
Counter space is always at a premium inside an RV or camper. The Camco 43545 is sized at a generous 18 x 14 inches -- large enough to handle real meal prep without overhanging your sink or folding table. The bamboo surface is naturally firm yet slightly resilient, which means it holds up to repeated knife work without dulling blades the way glass or hard composite boards do.
The defining feature is the built-in counter edge grip: a notched lip along one side that hooks over the edge of a standard countertop and keeps the board from sliding during use. This is particularly useful in an RV where counters are narrow, surfaces are slick, and the rig itself may not always be perfectly level. No shelf liner, no clamps -- just set it and prep.
The integrated juice groove runs around the perimeter of the board's cutting face and channels liquids away from the cutting area, reducing drips onto counters and floors. Whether you're slicing tomatoes, carving a rotisserie chicken at a campsite, or prepping produce for the week, the groove earns its keep.
Notched lip locks over standard countertop edges to prevent board movement during cutting -- no mats or clamps needed.
Generous cutting area fits most RV galley counters and folding camp tables without excessive overhang.
Perimeter channel captures liquids from fruits, vegetables, and meats -- keeps counters cleaner and reduces cleanup time.
Naturally hard, durable, and gentler on knife edges than glass or ceramic. Bamboo resists odors and is easier to maintain than solid hardwood.
Bamboo is denser than most hardwoods but has a slightly forgiving grain that reduces knife dulling. It absorbs less moisture than traditional wood, making it more resistant to warping in the humidity fluctuations common to RV living. It's also lighter than comparable hardwood boards of the same size -- a real benefit when every pound matters in your rig's cargo weight.
The Camco 43545 works equally well in a Class A motorhome galley, a fifth-wheel kitchen, a travel trailer's compact counter, or a camp kitchen setup at a site. The edge grip is designed for standard countertop thicknesses common in most RVs and home kitchens. It can also be used flat on a table or camp surface when a counter edge is not available -- the board functions normally without the grip engaged.
Bamboo cutting boards require minimal but consistent care to maintain performance and appearance. Follow these basic steps to extend the life of your Camco board:
New bamboo boards benefit from an initial oiling before first use. Apply a thin coat of food-grade mineral oil, let it absorb for several hours or overnight, then wipe off the excess. Repeat every few months or whenever the surface looks dry. This simple step significantly extends board life in the variable humidity of an RV environment.
