On a side note: I got on a second hand marketplace (online) and tracked down a almost free over/gas hob combo like your. My was used in a boat for many many years and was quite nackered as well... I had no intention to use the gas system which was build in and I started taking apart the oven, removing the gas pipes, burners, hob and valves. Since have an ethanol 2 burner hob already I could concentrate on gettting the oven to run on ethanol as well. I got hold a f two 3,5 inch chafing dish bruners which I set in the bottom om the oven. The oven came with a double/false bottom which acts as yet as a heat deflector. The chaffing dish burners are able to get the oven up to a good temperatur: 200 degrees C (or 392 Fahrenheit) I do not need the burners to be adjustable. I have a stone handy salvaged from a stone grill cooker (which was previously also powered by ethanol burners) to see if the oven works better if the stone provides some indirect heat... The oven is generally left as is, just adding an extra bottom and top heat shield and some rockwool insulation in between), I kept the vent in the rear which vents out on top of the kitchen work surface just behind the 2 burner hob. The 2 burner hob is set in a separate shelf space and can be covered by a hinged (back) lid if not in use. The oven exhaust vent is situated behind the hinged lid and can still vent out very well even if the lid is hinged open. I have as yet have to do a test on how it performs as an oven but it should work very well
Rick, you should do a video breaking down each of your builds and how you have improved, what you liked with each, what you didn't, etc. Would be interesting to see the evolution of your build styles.
Hi Rick. Very nice re-fit. Looks nice and tidy. Well done. One suggestion. To keep the oven door from opening up and flopping down while driving, maybe you can install a small "L" shaped bracket on the side of the adjoining sink cabinet. When the oven is not in use you can flip down the bracket so that it rests flush on the front of the oven door to keep the door closed tight and perhaps also prevent any future rattle noise. You could cover the bracket with some of that felt so it doesn't scratch the over door. Just a thought.
I use the same stove. I recommend using a bungy or something to secure the front door while driving. Those hinges wear out real easy and holding them in place somehow will make their life's way longer. Greetings from Canada!
The Hedgecombers yeah, felt a big asses head appear on my shoulders when I did that LOL! I’ve just updated the firmware on the GoPro, and apparently this will fix the problem🤞
Loving the Van Rick, I suspect you will tinker on the lay out more yet.. The little oven is great, we are in an Airbnb, with a little Kitchen, right now and it has a Washing Machine, Dishwasher, 2 ring Hob but no Oven? I could have done with the oven and no dishwasher LOL'z. Thanks for taking Michele and I's minds off the worlds nonsense for a while buddy.. Steve
Looking good,like the idea of the sink being sideways on for a little bit more space,shame about the gopro freeze,how annoying!! you could fit a good sized pizza in that oven lol :)
Done a great job there Rick. That oven looks great and as you said it will open up so many cooking options when you are out in it. Shame the Hero 7 has packed up. I seriously recommend replacing it with a DJI Osmo Action. I’ve got one and its great, the front screen makes it great for face to camera. Looking forward to the next video.
Hi Rick, nice improvement cooker oven to to van, the only additional improvement I would also add a pan rail like you get on maritime cookers and hob, saves accidentally knocking pans off the hob and burning yourself. You might get lot of ideas from maritime shows because yachts also have tight spaces too. The oven is ideal for cooking the Birdseye fish in sauce like Cod in Tomato or Haddock in white wine and mustard, they are great served with Uncles Ben's microwave rice and some mixed vegetables, all cooked in 30 minutes. Have you got a mini fridge freezer and cooker for your fresh drinks. Love what you have done with the van, very impressive and great workmanship too. We hope it will give many years of pleasure. Stay well young man, see you in the next video 👍🍾🍷
Great to see you Rick. Selfishly your not on UA-cam enough for me these days. Still, it does mean I am enjoying a third viewing of your allotment series.. still gold! Hope your well and please think up a knew series.
New oven cook top combo, nice. Was hoping you would include where the propane was stored. What size is this oven? Cabinet cut out size 24, 26? Less.. details are nice for others who might try to FIT one of these in ones design.
I may have 2 ideas for you that may help you out in future: 1. The shelf thing: I build my own cabinets as well and I use mostly drawer slides. I make one beefier drawer (well the sliders are beefier then all re st) which is the bottom one. To this lower drawer I attached the cabinet front (which would normally be the door) and every other shelf is on a slider (a very much less beefy one) The idea is I don 't have to go full batman to get anything fro the cabinet as every shelf can be pulled out and every item on said shelf can be accessed quite comfortably... 2. On the LED lighting. I anticipated the chinesium sticky tape to fail at some point so I got hold of an off cut of plastic tube, normally used in radiant under floor heating systems, which is nice and stiff, is shock resistant to a degree, white and opaic. I made similar lighting strips like you did only I shoved them into said plastic tubing which I finished with a dap of hot glue and some heat shrink tubing. The plastic tube is fitted inside cabinets and overhead storage using pvc conduit holders...
Hi Rick! Apparently haven't been getting notifications. I really like the shelving vs cabinet doors. Restoring an RV. Will have to really give your idea some thought. Thanks! 👍 💜 If you put a pizza stone or unfinished clay tile in the bottom of your oven, it'll cook more evenly. 😀
Good to see you uploading another campervan vid. A bit of a bummer with the GoPro. Have you tried updating the firmware? I bought a HERO7 Black recently and it has performed flawlessly. You might need to change the SD card especially if you're filming in 4K. The brands I'd recommend are Toshiba (they invented flash memory), SanDisk and Samsung. Amazon is the best place to buy them. eBay is a potential minefield with lots of fakes listed on there.
Which push to fit drawer slides did you use? Have you had any issues with them coming open when driving? I’m upgrading our kitchen to have drawers instead of shelves. The shelf under the oven and fridge is a pain to get to so we have decided drawers are the way forward. I’m also putting some others in next to the oven.
Hi Rick, just came across your video. We are in process of doing something similar. You may have said in other videos but can you tell me where to get the finished looking wood for your kitchen set up?
Hi Rick: very interesting video. I was originally looking at a 5th wheel trailer and while convenient a van would be really good to consider. You have given me a lot to consider. As for your GoPro, did you try a new memory card or reformat your existing card? Cheers
Hey Rick, just wondering, with this oven re-fit increasing the vans living capacity for longer periods. Are you planning in advance to escape the infected populated area of Swindon & potential riots should things get bad, to go live out in Damos field for a month?
You know what Rick, even though I subbed you for your allotment vids, and I don't even have a campervan, I still watch your campervan vids. Thats a nice little addition to your van right there, and it looks like you are all set for your trip to Scotland. Which incidently you will have to travel through Northumberland to get to, and I can tell you alot of very interesting places to visit. The tree that has grown on Hadrians Wall and has been featured in films, for example. There is beautiful scenery all over mate, and it just so happens my allotment is only 5 minutes drive from some proper fish and chips in Tynemouth, and the kettle will always be on for you on my plot mate :) Get yourself on tour.. You will love it :) Now Crack On :) P.S..It would be cool if you visited your old allotment to see if there is any change..:)
Not seen an oven with hob built in before, nice, what about the gap behind the oven, you could easily drop things down the back? Did you get a registered gas fitter in to check the gas installation for your insurance?
Omg, thank you for this. I was so bored, and this popped up on my phone. Van modifications! Right up my street. How do you find the diesel heater? Just spotted the controller there and remembered you swapped out the gas version
i see you use storage for plastic contaiers under the sink.. wouldn't it be better to use that storage for other items and try use your storage above the bed, been a while but i cant remember what you got up there.
why not try using a magnetic board to hold items?..just an idea..i never travelled as much like yourself so i dont know how well it would rattles or come loose
Curious as to why you decided to film it in a way where you explain what you’re about to do and then not even show the building process. Watching the building process is the interesting part!

Wow!Great job Rick,it looks even better now
Top job Rick.....definitely a big improvement for your van.....thanks for sharing
Brilliant. Your videos are always full of little tips like rubbing cutting compound on the work surface. Love it.
Fantastic addition to the mobile homestead :) Nice surprise to see a RVM video pop up :)
Rick, you should do a video breaking down each of your builds and how you have improved, what you liked with each, what you didn't, etc. Would be interesting to see the evolution of your build styles.
Nice to see you again Rick. I have the same cooker for my van but in silver. Seems like the best option available just now.
Very nice. I like that stove/oven unit.
Awesome video Rick, Thanks for sharing !
Great to see a new video Rick. The new kitchen arrangement look great.
Good idea Rick now you have a fully equipped home on wheels.
It looks amazing and doesn’t take up too much space . You have great skill and patience , I think I’d have just got a microwave . Well done.
Looks great Rick 👍

Brilliant mate. You’ll love having an oven. Wouldn’t be without mine now ! Love that drawer ! Might have to put one in Nina now ! :).
Damo Canna cheers mate, looking forward to using it 😁
The drawer is really handy. Took a while but was very simple to make.
Can I put one in Nina too ?
Just found your channel looking forward to seeing all the other videos.
I'm doing my kitchen, so it was nice to see how you've done it!
I use the same stove. I recommend using a bungy or something to secure the front door while driving. Those hinges wear out real easy and holding them in place somehow will make their life's way longer. Greetings from Canada!
GermanDrivesCanada thanks for the tip 😁👍
have you thought about nailing the lights to the underside of the cupboard??
Enjoyed your vlog
Outstanding work as always sir, thanks for sharing :)
Man, I'd love to have a van like this, would be amazing for holidays
Two new videos !! You definitely made my week :)
Chuckling at the shower bottle hole 🤣 And not impressed with the freezing gopro, that sucks. Most importantly I LOVE the oven, great job 👏👏👏
The Hedgecombers yeah, felt a big asses head appear on my shoulders when I did that LOL!

Good to see the CO detector works!
Looks really nice mate. I'm ordering my crumble now for our next meet. 😜👌
Nice job that. As we Welsh say "Tidy !" 😎👍

Thank you for the video. I want to add an oven for my build. This was great information.
Now you need to take us along with you on a trip so you can test it out🥔🍕🍟🍗🥓🥔🙂

Great job, that looks amazing :)
Be nice with splash back going all the way along Rick, looking forward to the next video, ATB DAVE
Looks terrific!
R u going to bake a cake? Can’t wait to see what you will bake. 😃👍
Really tidy and sensible upgrade Rick,is it a Spinflo cooker ?it looks really neat and compact,look forward to hear how it performs.
I think it’s a voyager 4500 👍
Hi! For safety sake I'd lower the burners.xx
Good to see a new video Rick, a job well done, your digital clock on the wall, where did you get it from?
Alan Flitton thanks. It was probably an eBay find 😁
@@rickvanman Thanks Rick
Did you ever take a look at the Omnia stove top oven?
Gary McCaffrey I did take a peek, but figured it wasn’t for me. 😊
Which push to fit drawer slides did you use? Have you had any issues with them coming open when driving? I’m upgrading our kitchen to have drawers instead of shelves. The shelf under the oven and fridge is a pain to get to so we have decided drawers are the way forward. I’m also putting some others in next to the oven.
Where did you get the faucet , its great
eBay :)
Well done Rick. Does the oven have a flexi connection or is it fixed pipe?

@@rickvanman Well you won't be short of apples, maybe also a return of Ricks Allotment in Damos field :-)

A little hot glue works nice

Omg, thank you for this. I was so bored, and this popped up on my phone. Van modifications! Right up my street.
How do you find the diesel heater? Just spotted the controller there and remembered you swapped out the gas version
LambySRI Thanks, yeah, the diesel heater is great, I have no complaints it works fine and does exactly what it says on the tin 👍😁
And I fitted an oven...which was nice
;-)
How do you fit the oven so it doesnt move when driving? im about to buy one of those voyagers. thanks a lot in advance
What are the hinges you used for the extension bit? Thanks
AreSheepGreen they are just locking hinges, you can get them on Amazon
i see you use storage for plastic contaiers under the sink.. wouldn't it be better to use that storage for other items and try use your storage above the bed, been a while but i cant remember what you got up there.
why not try using a magnetic board to hold items?..just an idea..i never travelled as much like yourself so i dont know how well it would rattles or come loose
Is this your passion wagon
Won't you need to put a splash guard at the back?
charliemac yes, just need to work out what I should use 😁👍
If you never want to remove the lights use mitre mate
Welcome back Rick. If you weren't tweaking summate you wouldn't be breathing! ;)
is your old burner and sink up for sale
robert lee i’m afraid Damon beat you to it LOL!
What brand is the cooker?
bearded traveller it’s a voyager 4500
nice vid - do you work somewhere? or just money from the utube ? warm regards
What oven is this?
Van lookng good
Instead of Robin Leach and Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. It is Rickvanman and Lifestyles of the Van Gypsies!
what oven is it ?
Are u selling the smev unit?
Sorry, Damon beat you to it.
Nice oven for meat pie or something 😄
Proper job! :)
Rick you need a heat shield behind those hobs,
Heat a pasty up and make tea .. good enough
You should of showed us the actual pipe fitting and assembly ... Pretty useless mate 😂
are you living in it?
Nooo. He has a house :)
Moving the sink to your bathroom would free up space for the storage that your losing by installing an oven.
I miss your astronomical activities mate.
Jassim Lari Garden is like a building site at the moment, having some work done so can’t set anything up ☹️
👍👍
Curious as to why you decided to film it in a way where you explain what you’re about to do and then not even show the building process. Watching the building process is the interesting part!
Is it just or does this guy look like ron Weasley dad off harry potter
I was hoping for more info on your wiring rather than your setup
sorry, I'm nervous about showing any wiring, as I'm not qualified and could potentially cause more harm than good 😆
@@rickvanman ahhhh ok. Well I’m glad it turned out well for you. Thanks for making your video!!
