Dishwasher drawer for storage is brilliant.

[@clydeb487]

The $3 sink is the golden gem of this whole thing!

[@dorang5156]

16:56 this design is very down to earth. I love it

[@flyingdutch9818]

FINALLY someone with a clue siliconing and not tile-adhesive-ing on tiles in a van!!!!!

[@bowrudder899]

For an oven you can put over your burner, check out the Bemco Backpacker Oven. I got a 9" this year and love it -- scones, cookies, cakes, bread, lasagna -- whatever you want to bake.

[@jo-annharvie9411]

Silicone & flexible tile grout, genius! Great kitchen!!

[@ichigokurosaki6813]

Love the dishwasher tray. Brill idea

[@LostNative]

Nate, I can live alone with it. 😮 Cheers for the kitchen video.

[@elainefuehrer5739]

i liked the van with the dishwasher drawer for the dishes!! i was hoping to see layouts of kitchens that are placed behind the front seats like the "Indie project" but these are some really great designs. so do u have 10 best bathroom ideas?

[@yvettescheiman4991]

I loved the slide-out hidden water jug! Many good ideas here, but that one really appealed to me.

[@BenjaminVestergaard]

I like the pumping idea about water supply without electricity, also like the gravity driven ones (but I know that it's better to keep the heavy stuff low while driving)... but how about a system that's either a combination, or driven by air pressure? If I remember correctly some RV's and camping trailers had something driven by pressure... a pedal in the kitchen area would be pumped a bit before you opened the tap, then water came out in a very even stream for perhaps 10 seconds... same principle as a super soaker - pump and use... and since it was a foot pedal, you could basically keep the water running, if doing dishes or so, by pumping with your food every now and then.

[@koningbolo4700]

3:49 An oven in a van? I have a suggestion for you: a stove top oven pan. Available in a few brands: most famously the Omnia (of Sweden), expensive (about 70-80 Euros). secondly the Ibili Wonderoven made in Spain (about 35 Euros) and thirdly the Versilia made in Italy (Not sure what they cost but I would imagine about 40-45 Euros. the Omnia is the smallest at 2.5 L, Ibili comes in at 3 L and the Versilia is said about 3.5 L. For the Omnia and the Ibili oven pans you can use the Omnia silicone baking molds or get from Silikomart (sft205 - about 20 Euros) work well and there are two half molds available from Kampology for about 10 Euros. Then a bottom metal grate is handy to have to be able to bake those pre-baked rolls. For a two person team an Omnia or an Ibili is great to have, especially if you have a couple of silicon inserts (bundt style baking forms) and a dozen or so silicone cupcake molds for those cakes, rolls and small pies. Look into it, the stove top oven pans are a great addition to a travel van....

[@bicanoo_magic3452]

Add a slide out prep board under your current prep area. Build/buy a solar oven and cook outside..even in the cold. Build a box that stores your vegetables etc and faces outside. ie. exposed to the cold elements. As good or better than a fridge if you are travelling in cold climates.

[@IngridsVanlife]

Love Mia’s sink solution!

[@Snarge22]

I like the drawer making use of limited space around the sink basin.

[@candycanemike]

looking forward to a full tour of the opposing kitchen van! Everyday closer to selling the car and beginning the build out of my new home. Thanks for all the videos Nate!

[@JaseWolf]

Viki (Vanilla.IceDream) has an absolutely awesome pull out draw kitchen from the back of her T5. I'll be doing basically the same for myself as with an outdoor slide out kitchen like her's. Absolutely an impressive idea that is with the dishwasher drawer, very very clever!

I'm putting a monitor in my van and so when I saw the thumbnail on this, I clicked immediately thinking Nate put in one of those new 49" ultrawide monitors in the van with MacOS El Capitan running on the screen. That would be crazy.

[@Verccina]

We are just converting our van so this series is awesome! Great concept, thank you! :)

[@noahspannagel6385]

Hey Nate😊 Where can i find the hand pump watersystem?

[@Toy2Boy]

In the FIRST van especially: Fold down or pull out shelf for work surface. You utilize basically NO space, only to gain more working area when you need it. I'm always very surprised to see wasted space or underutilized potentials in these vans.

[@ritafeilmeier3486]

Most of these young adventurous type people aren't living in their vans, only using them for traveling/camping. So, they don't need to maximize space like people who actually do live full time in their vans.

[@dianer8881]

I only eat food that does not require cooking or refrigeration. Saves a lot of space. I also diet and fast.

[@alloutjoy3172]

On the first video, she can get a Coleman collapsible oven. They work great. She can sit it on top of the gas burner.

[@Hoggaforfan]

Add a hinged shelf next to the kitchen? Would solve the space issue

[@bigtimbers9025]

On the kitchen that you made, why not add onto the left counter and make it connect all the way to the wall?

[@joycesothoron856]

[@allanb52]

I am not often impressed, but have seen your work on that Spanish house and was, plus you seem open to simple ideas. I built my Vivaro using standard stuff, R&R bed, SMEV and cold box all housed in a standard unit with wardrobe, plus a swivel double seat. About £1,000 worth of off the shelf gear and as simple, roomy and comfortable as it could be. Except I find a wardrobe completely unnecessary, who hangs clothes up and you lose a lot work surface. So lose the top of the wardrobe and have long work surface. Where I have the coldbox is next to the drivers seat, but this wastes a huge amount of easy to get to storage, Instead drop the coldbox in a hole in the countertop next to the bed/seat where it is accessible and breathes better, using the storage underneath for emergency gear, accessible by lifting the coldbox. Finally a hinged lid for the section at the back, for clothes. The R&R bed has a massive amount of storage underneath, accessed by lifting the seat. I did my van in 2015 and have had 150-200 nights in it and I think this would be ideal in every way, cheap and highly practical for T4/5 Vivaro/Trafic etc. Fancy building it, a couple of weeks for you. By the way I use a standard folding table inside, which can be used outside too with two umbrella chairs. I need no extra battery as my coldbox is only powered when the ignition is on and the car battery is more than capable of powering two LED lights and a couple of USB ports What do you think sport?

[@flyingdutch9818]

Not one Induction cooktop?!

[@samanthabuck9035]

A Rookie question. The fresh water in the barrels/containers under the sinks. Is this for drinking or just washing dishes or hair/body? If it's for drinking, the water isn't fresh after one day in the barrel? How long can you drink from the barrel before it goes off?

[@NateMurphy]

If spring water (untreated) then 3 days is usually ok. If treated 5 days is ok. 20l is not likely to last longer than that!

[@loomofmetals]

I really love the little pump sink in the 9th video! I’ve not seen any other vans or campers with one. Anyone know what they’re called or where to find one?

[@solidstate9451]

[@alloutjoy3172]

I agree. I wouldn't use a propane grill in my backyard and definitely not inside a vehicle. In my neighborhood if you cook on a gas powered grill, no one will come to your cookout. 😄

[@largey51]

Nate my man, this is really interesting little video concept to demonstrate the variation possible with the same small space! Im sure you can come up with a solution to the other halves preparation space woes! One concern i have with many of these builds is the occurrence of propane and butane tanks within living areas? Im wondering if some of these solutions are actually safe? Did you consult anyone about your LPG system in regards to legality and safety? Cheers mate

[@NateMurphy]

Regulation varies on country. All of these are compliant with respective country regulations (some also compliant for rental use) most personal.

[@largey51]

Nate Murphy Thanks for the swift response! So i presume it is a case of creating a solution that is legal in all the countries you wish to travel in, rather than just legal in Brittain (providing there are more stringent regulations in other countries) Also, i plan to use my van for a ski season or two in the coming few years, is your insulation solution man enough for temperatures as low as -20 degs C? Thankyou again, have a great evening!

[@NateMurphy]

Not at all actually - it is about being legal in the country of registration & insurance. So my van is not compliant in Germany or Spain - but they don't test it. If I tried to import it and make it Spanish/German I would not be able to without making changes. (Ignoring the wrong side drive)

[@NateMurphy]

Insulation wise - just be super careful with the moisture barrier and any venting from cap up to the above-cab area if you have a shelf there. The key thing for -20 is moisture protection and a fat battery bank & solar rig to ensure your heater runs.

[@largey51]
