Just a couple thoughts.
The cabinet that holds the stove is made with pretty wimpy - errr, light weight - construction. I wouldn't trust it to hold a counter top unless you brace the inside of the cabinet wall with a piece of real wood, glued and screwed. Not a big deal, except that you have to pull the oven out to get at it. In my TM, this wall was trying to pull away from the rest of the cabinet, all by itself, and I have had to re-attach it.
Maybe I'm not getting the right mental picture, but are you considering a counter top extension that extends across the doorway when flipped up? Not a good idea, in my opinion. As soon as you flip it up and set something on it, you'll find a reason why you have to go in or out of the trailer.
Someone on the forum made an extension on the other side of the kitchen, attached to the wall of the cabinet that holds the refrig. Again, glue and screw an interior brace. Would that help in your situation?
