Cheers Steve.

Why not build it as a telescopic kitchen. Ie more than one extension. It wouldn't restrict the width that much.

Kev

Hey Kev M

I am also building a camper trailer this year, you have just solved my problem.

That's Clever.

Cheers Steve.

I am a chippie with a wide perspective on all things in construction.

I'm glad I could be of assistance

Cheers Kev

Steve if a 1 metre extention is all you can find for roller slides keep looking. My local engineering supply have a huge range available in their catalogue (Benalla) up to 200 kg at 1.8m extension. Have a look at the way the 'Track T Van' do their kitchen. A pair of 100kg slides holding the bench & cooker with a set of 50kg slides coming out on the 2nd stage with the sink. Quick, easy & no leg needed to hold it up. The one down side to the telescopic kitchen is that because there is an overlap there will be less storage space within. It does however free up more space on the other side of the trailer.

Hi Craig, thanks for your input.
Had a look at the Track T Van site but couldn't get a good view of the setup.
Your 'local engineering supply', is there name Benalla or are they in Benalla ? Did a search on Benalla engineering with thousands of matches !
Cheers, Steve

Delatite Steel is the outlet here although you may try to find a local dealer closer to you through the Australian Industrial Supply (AIS) network.
Cheers Craig.......

Have an additional section within the main kitchen compartment that slides out. which thereby reduces the overall length of the kitchen when stored within the trailer.
If that makes sense

Kev

Design it so that both the cooker and the sink are in the second extension. If not able to do that have a sink that can be removed in the main section and have the cooker in the second extension. Which would allow you to remove the sink when packing the kitchen up.

Kev

Kev, I like your way of thinking !
I would like to have a permanently fixed sink, so yes it would have to be in the second extension.
If the sink and the cooker were to be in the second extrension, they would have to be a lip wouldn't there, ie the two extensions at different heights ?

The extensions would be lower than the main bench top. But depending on what you made the bench tops out of ie sheet stainless it would not be that great.
If you want the sink permanently fixed, does that mean that you want the water permanently connected as well?
If this is the case have the sink fixed in the main compartment at the opposite end to the extensions and only have the extensions long enough to fit in the remaining length of the kitchen as to have the sink in one of the extensions causes dramas with packing up the feed hose for the water.

Kev

Sorry,
I didn't mean to scare you LOL

You could also get a small stainless sink from a 2nd hand building supply place and use that instead.
