Your plate solution is to install an in-set butcher block sink cover. Alternatively, you do have enough space on the side to install a folding shelf, just make it for half of the area, so the electric is not covered. You're welcome. Awesome build!!

@@MathersOnTheMap Love your van and videos! A quick easy fix for that sink cover. Get a plastic cutting board a little bigger than the sink opening, then hot glue four short pegs on one side that fit the sink hole. I worked for us! While you're at Walmart getting the board, get a couple of bins or baskets that fit those cabinet shelves. Then you can slide them in and out like drawers without the extra weight, work, and expense. Happy travels!

@@MathersOnTheMap You’re welcome. I live in a 3 bdrm house and I’m never happy with my cupboards. But we can always tweak anything, so here’s a little tip. If you can’t find one long basket to contain all the stuff in your cupboards, than use two baskets you like and put the things you use the most in the front basket. This way, if you have to get something from the back basket, you can place the front basket aside while you search in the back one, quick and easy, puff! no mess. :) Enjoy your travels, stay safe, and God Bless.

Cool build. I'm surprised with that much battery power you didn't go with fixed induction cooktop. No more propane to worry about, less heat generated when cooking, less moisture, faster cooking times, adds more counter space, more compact, etc. You guys should really think about induction. 300ah on lithium is plenty.
@MathersOnTheMap
@MathersOnTheMap 4 жыл бұрын
Yea maybe you’re right, I’d be cautious to use the hot water heater and the induction cook top on the same night especially now that we’re heading into winter with less sun light. We do have the isolator to charge us right up if we needed but still. Taylor prefers gas stove top so that’s why we went with it but having propane in the van isn’t the safest I know

Shower Door SOLUTION - on the edge of the door attach very small rare earth magnets. And small / thin metal plates or other rare earth magnets on the frame. And you need to keep your fire extinguisher OUTSIDE of a hard to access cabinet and behind several items in front of it. Preferably mounted on a wall. And a carbon monoxide detector is a must.

To have space next to the stove, plus drawers, possibly change out your kitchen cabinet and put the sink on the end, then the stove, with drawers below? While you are changing it out you could put the electrical in a different location to free up the end for a flip up workspace. Or have the cabinet doors open and have baskets that pull out to access things farther back, or even an inner drawer. The cabinet doors will keep them from sliding out. I am not sure there is a 'perfect' build:) Your van is lovely.

Your kitchen problem is an easy fin. Move the switch on the end of the counter/cabinet, and install a flip up counter top. You can make the flip up as big as you need it to be. Just make sure you put your flip up counter top is level with the main counter top, makes life a lot easier. Enjoy your new life.

Insert K-cup, pour in some hot water, and slowly press into your coffee cup. I haven’t used it myself, but I can’t imagine why it would make the same good coffee as the Keurig machines. One brand is Gourmia, if you want to check it out.

I have watched so many builds and still I wasn't sure of what I wanted for my own build, until I watched your KZbin video. I agree on all of the upgrades that you are looking to do in the future.

Yes it does John! The AC will be so nice when it’s hot out, get a nice battery bank for that! Best of luck with the build once you get a rig!

Thank you Christine we really appreciate it!!! Are you asking if we build vans? Also in terms of links we don’t have a one stop shop for all the links we used but we do put them in the description of every van build episode we have (over 40 of them) and in the description of this video as well! Thanks again!

Hey, you could get a sink cover and put your plates on it possibly?

that is one of the nicest/cleanest (design-wise) and well thought out garage area i've seen. (the rest of the build was pretty darn outstanding, too.)

Heres a great option for the cabinets: Slideout shelves. Just like you have for the spice rack and Keurig You can retrofit the pot and pan cabinets :-)

This is absolutely amazing, Kev! Would love to see it in person someday, so swing whenever you're passing through North Jerz! PS - maybe use the piece you cut out of the butcher block for the sink as a replaceable cover so you can plate the food next to the stove top? Just cut a finger hole in the middle!

Hey Adriaan hope all is well and thank you!!!! We won’t be back up to north jersey until ski season but I’ll let ya know! Regarding the stove top, I know I have plenty of butcher block left over too...just struggling to get motivated to get the tools back out before we hit the road haha

Since you have a lagun table, you could put another mount by your stove then you would have more counter space. Maybe cut a smaller table for it. You have a beautiful set up!

I've seen on videos where the sink is multi purpose. It might be too late but what about a cutting board insert over the sink so you have cooking work space on your right. Beautiful home and love your banter -- diarrhea medicine is truly important on the road 🤣
