Home-built camping kitchen unit

Hi all,

Thought some of you may be interested in this little build I did, I built it as a gift for my brother and his soon-to-be wife to go in the back of their VW camper, conviently... it also fits snugly between the back doors of my disco with the seats down so I'm sure I'll be borrowing it for the next camping trip! So the sink/cooker top and the pump were out of an old caravan, the rest I built up myself. The water is manually pumped to the tap by hand, all the water is self contained in two 10l containers - one fresh, one waste.

Anyways.... here's the pics. Enjoy!

Now that is cool . How much??!

snazy

How much you ask? Well.... all the fixings and bits and bobs soon add up! The whole thing including the cooker was probably around £100 to build, I didn't want to skimp on things like the hinges so they are all heavy duty sprung items and all the doors including the grill have magnetic push-to-release catches too. The only thing I didn't include in the build was the gas bottle and regulator. So not too bad for a bespoke piece I guess!

And no I'm not building another one... Well... maybe for myself ;-)

Nice work but it looks awkward to get the water bottles in and out. Could you not do a pull out type table top..?

The front door that covers the water tanks hinges upwards on hinges that extend past 180 degrees, the door opened at 90 degrees as pictured has a stopper (and now an aditional floor support) so it doubles as a serving table When the door is fully open the bottles are easily accessable

Thats a very nice job ... good effort.
