VOLKSWAGEN CADDY MAXI KITCHEN
Made from all stainless steel this kitchen, although simple, is clever in it’s design. It takes up minimal space, hanging off the barn doors, but still does everything you need from food preparation, cooking and storage. I was particularly proud of my double baking tray idea giving an extra moveable chopping board workspace. The RidgeMonkey stove and cookware are perfect for in a small camper especially with the adjustable legs to balance the pot:

You are good at van conversions, you try your best at being meticulous. You could make a living doing that for others, but also film the process for your youtube channel. It's been fun to watch you fit out your van and there are more camping channels than anything else. Of course you will still need to have adventures with Blue on video.

I probably could do bespoke van builds but I’d take too long and not make enough money. Filming it and making videos is making me next to nothing but I love it. 😬

@David_Avidmind Жыл бұрын

@BUSHMANandBLUE you would probably get more lucrative sponsorships on van builds too. As you do more and more, you will learn what matters and get quicker and quicker. It is still about making videos, but someone is paying you for the van build at the same time as you are making the video, nobody pays you for the walk up the hill.

I saw a pretty genius set up here in Japan. A guy had his kitchen on his doors like you, but he had these panels over the windows that he could flip up to provide overhead cover on either side. Once done, he'd drop them and block out the windows. And he rigged up a small tarp across the doors when the wind picked up. I enjoy seeing innovation on vehicles like yours and his.

I was fascinated with the creativity of your back door base that folds out for your kitchen. Loved the matching square pots/pans that fit on the square burner. A lot of others are going to duplicate what you've come up with. I like how you can hang your water from either door, easy access when needed for cooking. Good on ya, Al. Sadly, you could use all that space for Coffee instead of tea. You introduced me to Rivetnuts in a prior video. Excellent application & use of 'em on the back doors. Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada U.S.A.
