VW T3 Vanagon Doorway Kitchen

[@johnbeckman8916]

Very sweat set-up. I may "steal" your idea for my Ford van. Thanks! 😃

[@warlordblee1968]

Best set-up I've found so far. Will be building one like this for my Honda Odyssey, Thanks.

[@conrad1468]

Awesome job!! This would work great in my VW split panel bus. Thank you for the idea!

[@DayDrifterTV]

Great setup. Thanks for sharing.

[@robertmuckle2985]

Brilliant!!! I have a Coleman HWOD unit that would work perfectly, just sitting atop the cutting board, and fashioning some sort of privacy screen. Thanks for the great ideas:)

[@samv1430]

Awesome idea, super practical. Thinking on using it.

[@0neTwo3]

Simple and brilliant! That's a really nice set up.

[@darkangel-ze8fm]

you could sell those...sweet design

[@OverlandingJoy]

I'm restoring my 82 transporter and would love to see you interior design, as I am removing the original rear seats. I love this kitchen set up!!!! Great work young man!

[@KirtFitzpatrick]

Man Living Naturally thanks! I'm making some more videos.

[@Bintumani88]

Very clever design. Thanks for sharing the excellent video.

[@scottydoo330]

Ok that’s a bad Ass set up. Bravo to you.

[@TheHteam07]

nice work!!!

[@Nebuzaradat]

amazing and simple setup! good job

[@LandonWard]

Looks like a solid setup. I like the seating you've built as well. I wouldn't mind a full tour since my wife and I are trying to get ideas together for our vanagon we just bought.

[@KirtFitzpatrick]

Thanks! I plan to make another video or two about the new interior soon. For now you can check out my instagram @tintopcamper

[@volkswagent316]

Very interesting design! it is convenient that garbage will fall not into the interior but out the door. the reverend cantrol of the water level. it is a pity that it is not suitable for winter and rainy weather

[@Rabbagazten]

Excellent setup! Thanks for sharing

[@ronmiller7916]

I kinda like the setup except for use in inclement weather. If I'm not mistaken, you have no way of cooking without the door being open. Maybe if the top swiveled so it could be used 1/4 turn (inside use) or full swivel (outside use). Other than that I think it's great. And I hadn't given thought to using a sink the way you do but I will. Thanks for that!

[@KirtFitzpatrick]

Ha! You're exactly right. You should check out my newer videos for exactly what you're describing.

[@kevinwong2847]

Love it you did an amazing job...! May I ask the dimensions of the box...?

[@donpreisler322]

Awesome job. I was in the process of designing mine and not that I see yours I’m going back to the drawing board.

[@KirtFitzpatrick]

Don Preisler in that case you should look at my newer videos. 😉

[@paulusul]

I loved this video, hope you do more :)

[@BobbyandErin]

Awesome setup! Does any water drip out of the connections around turns if you're filled to the max?

[@KirtFitzpatrick]

It does not. I usually spray a tiny bit out after I fill it though. About a drinking glass worth. Just to pull the water out of the fill and overflow lines.

[@Camp_Runamuck]

Nice set up

[@kylebabcock3499]

loved the set up, just wondering what stovetop you used and where you got it from. also what water tank did you use and the dimensions of all your parts. thanks!

[@KirtFitzpatrick]

The stove is a suburban, you can find them anywhere. The water tank is a Ronco tank. I think it's 11 or 14' high and 21' or 22' square. You can find it on the Ronco site.

[@kylebabcock3499]

awesome thank you so much!!

[@KirtFitzpatrick]

Oh yeah, spinweld fittings, 1/2" FPT, double ended thread, and an inspection lid. plastic-mart.com

[@Radio4ManLeics]

So much more practical to have a hob safely plumbed in and use a bowl for your sink, rather than the other way around. You should really have drop vents in the gas box in case of a leak..... But a lot in a small unit.

[@neilwilliamson6332]

Great look. I want to build one for my Westy. I'm having problems finding the short self coiling hoses. Surprised I couldn't find one on ebay. Any help would be appreciated.

[@neilwilliamson6332]

Thanks so much! That's what i'm looking for.

[@KirtFitzpatrick]

btw, I assume you've seen this: www.norcaltintops.com/

[@recoveringsoul755]

What is that black tube along the roof on the passenger side? Is that some kind of pull out awning or something else? If you do all cooking outside and it rains, seems like an awning would be useful. Beautiful work you've done.

[@KirtFitzpatrick]

It's an awning. I don't have it on anymore as I have a new interior that allows me to cook inside.

[@heathergarrett897]

Hi there, I'd love one of those kitchen units, I also pulled out the jump seat in mine. Did your ceiling originally have the long drop down thing for AC or whatever else is's for? From what I'm learning about these, we can no longer get AC in these old vans so that thing in the center spanning the length of of me van seems really dumb, do you have any thought, opinions, or ideas as to ripping them out? Possibly ripping the entire interior of the ceiling out and maybe painting, paneling or gawd knows what? I have two of these here in Maui that I rent out and I'm trying to think of ways to make them more user friendly, and most importantly, cooler for me when I take them out to play. Any ideas would be great. Do you have a toilet in there somewhere? Fridge?

[@KirtFitzpatrick]

I took my AC out. I used to have the long AC tunnel in the ceiling as you describe but it no longer worked. I hear rumors that you can get a small AC unit that lives in the dash on the passenger side but have yet to look into it. You can get new ceilings from Sewfine in Denver. I have a fridge in there now. No toilet, gross. ;-)

[@Hiker_who_Sews]

Nicely done.

[@norasteel5353]

what if you need to cook inside? and do you have a porta poty? nice van!

[@KirtFitzpatrick]

Nora Steel in my new video I show off the new kitchen I made that lets you cook inside as well as outside.

[@coreysk8s]

Any idea what a rough estimate would be to build this ??

[@KirtFitzpatrick]

Depends on the build quality. This has $1k of materials in it and another $1k in unused materials and tools. If budget was your thing, you could lower the spec and lower the build quality and get away with maybe five or six hundred. Water tank was $350, water pump $100, stove $100, hookups were $100. But the biggest expense is all the tiny things.

[@coreysk8s]

Kirt Fitzpatrick awesome, thanks for the info and video!

[@popester72]

Good video!

[@bigtransitadventures7449]

great set up my friend :)

[@andrewbocho3896]

How does your bed work? Thanks

[@KirtFitzpatrick]

There's another video in my channel on the bed.

[@OCARADAKOMBI]

Fantastic!

[@tabithajoy7931]

Awesome

[@mikemurphyseemsliked]

You should sell these on ebay. I'd buy one!

[@KirtFitzpatrick]

Thanks! But how much would you pay for it?

[@mariocooke5463]

very good. wish you had someone filming you, instead of holding the camera, and you need to speak louder. it was hard to hear
