DIY Sprinter Van – Side-slide mini-kitchen update

The Side-Slide Mini-Kitchen has worked out really well for us so far.  The one thing that needed improvement is the storage area below the camp stove.  This space turned out to be less accessible than we originally thought it would be.  The solution to this problem is to install a drawer in the space beneath the stove that opens out, away from the van.  It would have been more convenient to have the drawer open toward the front of the stove.  However, the drawer slides for the kitchen itself are in the way so the drawer has to open outward.

The steps for making this modification are:

stove support pedestals to be removed Supports for stove shelf Opening for drawer Flip top support arm modified to allow room for drawer Drawer slides and drawer Shelf for stove, holes to match feet in stove Install drawer with flip top support Version 0.2 is ready for testing Kitchen all tucked away

The last thing we did was add in a ratcheting paper towel dispenser that happened to fit in perfectly beneath the kitchen so that we always have paper towels at hand.
