To help you with some kitchen ideas for your camper van kitchen, we’ve put together a list of must have additions. Whether you’re planning a DIY campervan project or want the experts involved, make sure to turn to Trailer Parts Direct for everything you need.

Camper van kitchen slide out functionality

Whatever size of slide out kitchen you need, and whether you prefer a left or right hand swing or under tray slide out action, make the most of both your kitchen and your camper van by ensuring you’re decked out with slide out functionality.

Aluminium drawers

Aluminium drawers offer everything you need: plenty of storage space made from high quality aluminium material. Give your contents a home and give yourself peace of mind with a series of aluminium drawers from Trailer Parts Direct.

Fridge

Whether you’re storing your catch-of-the-day or keeping those icy cold beers nice and icy cold, you need a fridge as part of your camper van kitchen. There’s a wide range of sizes and types, and they’re all compatible with our range of slide out drawers and drop down slides.

Freezer

If you’re interested in taking your camping experience to the next level, you need the next level in food storage: a freezer! Depending on how many items you’re planning on keeping frozen, you can opt for a fridge-freezer combo or include a larger, self-contained freezer.

Oven or stovetop

Your campervan kitchen–fitted out with our range of products and accessories–will truly offer all the functionality of a home kitchen whenever you’re out on the road. Make sure you have an incorporated oven or stove top so you can cook up a storm no matter where you are. With a variety of cooking devices available to suit vans, ute canopies, 4WDs and vehicles of all types, we’ll help you find the perfect solution for you.

Sink fitted in your camper van kitchen

Maintaining your cleanliness and hygiene when preparing food starts with a sink. This must-have accessory is easy to incorporate within slide out kitchen units and help make your camping trip infinitely more convenient and homely.

Camper van kitchen bench space

Every kitchen at home centres around the benchtop, and why should your camper van be any different? Having plenty of bench and counter space included in your kitchen unit will help make food preparation and meal time easier than ever. Many of our units also offer extra little accessories such as hooks and even bottle openers for that added level of convenience.

Fuel and power

Kitchens both in the camper van and in your home require power whether from electricity, gas or diesel fuel. The best way to keep your camper van kitchen set-up streamlined and compact is by choosing a unit that either incorporates or complements your chosen and installed power source.

Water tanks

There are two different types of water tanks: your drinking water which is essential for obvious reasons and your greywater tanks. Greywater tanks store water that isn’t suitable for drinking but can be used in both the bathroom and the kitchen. A sizable yet well-installed water tank won’t take up too much space but will help to provide water for just about everything and anything you need.
