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.

Yo! Build plans are up on my website 👉 dualexbuilds.com/plans/sliding-kitchen 👈 if you want to try to make something similar. Plans are free with an optional donation. Let me know if you want an in depth explanation of how I did the plumbing for this video. Thanks for watching!

You need to start charging, anyway another job beautifully and well done.

What's your sister site address?

[@afk4lfe822]

A family of artisans. Very valuable to society.

[@SheilaTheGrate]

Both you and your sister are great at explaining and teaching. ❤️ Another amazing DualEx build!

[@SoulfulSmokie]

You are amazing... "I'm not a plummer" but he puts together a working sink. In another video he said "I don't know how to sew" but he makes plate and flatware holders. Dude you can slay what ever you put your mind to do. You're an inspiration.

[@gslavik]

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.

[@anthonylewis9055]

he probably isn't any of those things he stated, but damn, he is an incredible cinematographer!

[@catlynx7820]

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.

[@gslavik]

Teflon tape is only needed if there is no rubber gasket inside. This is one of the cases.

[@mattl9867]

@@gslavik rubber gaskets get old and frail. Always good to have that backup

[@greggfletcher8759]

@@mattl9867 actually the tape will prevent the fitting from seating properly as it wedges between the threaded..... thats why it leaked in the video.

Great job as usual Sharieff! Everything organized in one place👍 There's only one additional item I'd like to see in this kitchen, is some sort of tent over the back doors. A tent set-up you could cook if it was raining (like the day you were building the kitchen). Your sister has mad skills, also! A talented family🏆

[@mrsdouglas]

I have been subscribed to you since your first cargo van remodel into a tiny camper! And i know from then until now he has come a long way!! You transformed this channel into something informative and you have learned so much since you started! You have learned everything as you go and I'm a firm believer in hands on learning!! So happy for you!! ❤️❤️😋

OMG! Man, you even sew!? I'm just amazed AND your sister has levels too!! Awesomeness!! That countertop is so pretty and the concise design of the kitchen-Genius!! To date all I've made from wood is a toothpick...but now I want to build something... I think back to how I barely passed Carpenter class...I LOVE your videos; humorous, educational and seemingly so easy...🔥💯❤

[@hischosen1409]

That what I said also......shucks!!!!

[@ShereeseMaynard]

I love this episode. That's a unique little kitchen option, and the counter is beautiful. The ending of this video is hilarious, "I'm walking off the set; the set's not coming with me." 😂

I HAVE NO DOUBT IN MY MIND YOUR THE BEST !!! the inovative ways are nothing short of a blessing ,may god continue to bless you with peace happiness and health best wishess to family.

[@gingerjolley9027]

Awesome! The counter top is amazing.

[@JimmySlaughter]

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.

[@Ginluv0207]

It is great to see brother/sister collaborating on a build. Hope to see more. Yet enjoying your work. You really make these builds look easy....

DealEx, We made resin coffee table tops in high school wood shop. It’s nice to see that craft being done today. I’m digging on your skills in your videos too.

[@charlotterohde7383]

Wow! Wish I had seen this sooner. Seems like a great way to add sturdiness to a wooden panel to make a door, instead of having to add nail or screw in a lot of shiplap. Love this technique and it saves on purchasing a lot of wood. Will try using sage brush branches that we have in abundance here on the High Desert homestead in Osino! Thanks for the awesome technique. Cheers,

[@berylwilson3311]

OMGoodness you are both fantastic, hope you have built your own business out of your hard work and talents. This is by far the best every video I've ever watched good luck to you both.

[@T3erryC3ooper]

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!

[@garypease7414]

Having built a few tiny houses, and camp trailers, I have to admit, I'm quite impressed! Keep up the fantastic work! You've got a future in this, young man.

[@Locd4life707]

I'm Loving the work & effort you always put into your builds! ❤ You guys did a GR8T job on that counter top as well. 👍😃

[@EmpressIntuitions]

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. Beautiful build, though kudos! The counter top is Absolutely stunning as well. Thank you for the video 😊

[@joanies6778]

Wow! Love, love, love the woodwork! That countertop is phenominal. Also love that you used the same piece of wood to cut out all the front pieces so you can see the wood rings across the whole front. Very impresses! Thanks for sharing.

Awesome Job!!! The pipe that was leaking has what they call a Ferrel on the end, and it only needs to tightened up by hand and then a quarter turn with a wrench. If you go more than that it will strip! I'm not a plumber but know from making the same mistake on my own! I love all your video's! Thank You!!!!

[@antisocialsocialite3575]

What’s her channel name?

[@MsRotorwings]

Great brother sister collaboration. Love the countertop!

[@paige6028]

Hey...the reason it leaked is because it didn't need Teflon tape where the ⅜" supply line connects because it has a rubber gasket. With the Teflon tape on it the rubber gasket wasn't able to make a solid connection. If you take the tape off & screw it on you'll see it will tighten up like it's supposed to. Just wanted to let you know. BTW, my husband is a plumber & I asked him so I just wanted to pass it on you for future reference. Looks GREAT! LOVE the table! Heading over to follow your sister! Another GREAT job! 👍

Very nice work! You did a great job with that. Love the countertop.

Def gonna check out your sisters channel too!
