    I Built an EPIC Slide Out Camp Kitchen Setup for my DIY Camper Van
    After building a few vans, I've never been able to successfully make a useable outdoor kitchen. In this video, I build a slide out kitchen with a flush glass sink, removable hose for an outdoor shower, and electricity for the use of an induction cooktop. I recruited the help of my sister to help me make an olive wood epoxy resin countertop. Follow along with this one to see how I did it.

      The one plumbing mistake he made is to use Teflon tape when there is a rubber gasket in the connection. The tape made it seem like a tight connection, but that connection is supposed to seal on the gasket.

    All your work reminds me of when I was little. We camped all the time. My dad (an engineer) build what we called the Camp Kitchen. He measured everything out and made this awesome compartmented box that held everyting we needed for basics and all we had to buy was fresh foods. It closed up so critters couldnt get in. Now that I'm grown, I find I do the same thing "for everything" I do. (and sometimes it's mentally exhausting) BUT it's crazy fun to "idea create".
    It's so much fun to watch what you create!! - I feel like I'm watching kindred soul spirit 😻

  • @VonBluesman

    Great job. You need to use some Teflon Tape for the water hose connections, it is a white plastic tape in the plumbers section of the store. You can use the liquid pipe dope but some fittings work better with the teflon tape. Some water hoses will have a plastic butterfly type end (it flares off of the plastic nut) that you use for gripping while tightening the connection. One thing you might consider is making a hinged type door front along with an extended slide out for the electric cooker, that will give you more counter space for prep, etc. Congratulations to both of you, great to see your sister getting involved and being creative. Y’all are doing great work.

    That countertop turned out really great! I'm always picking up new tips and ideas from build videos and now I think I need to buy some corner framing clamps and make a router sled. Also, I feel your pain about the drawer not clearing the rear door. I had similar problems on my Transit Connect with my fridge and my stove cover. The lesson learned was to dry fit over and over, before committing to a final design. I look forward to seeing more of your build.

    Both you and your sister give me hope for the future! I have been a journeyman for many many years and have seen the decline of young apprentices particularly in the past 20 years. The push for college and the removal of vocational programs in our high schools are most likely the cause of that however, I believe video's like this could help inspire others to, put down the controller's and pick up some tools! Great Job!

    A slide out cutting board and stove top would've made the build more modern with a cabinet for the stove top that flips down or attached to stove top with handle instead of it being separate. Also, a spice rack inside a large cabinet would've been sweet, too!
    Utilize as much space as possible without putting extra work on yourself or taking up more space.
