Beach Kitchen

[syrup1971]

Came across this & thought it might be of interest

Found it here http://www.volkswagen-zubehoer.de/filea ... _09_GB.pdf

Looks quite neat, I might try to find out some more details.

That is an interresting find. The catalogue must be a few months pld, as teh vans are all pre- face lift.
If you discover any more info, please post it up.

will do. Date of catalogue seems to indicate it is 3 years old ...

That is the current catalog and this appears to be missing those nice kitchens. That is a shame as they would be great. It's not clear if the older catalogm has all items available to order.

Here is my simple solution for a kitchen in my T6 beach.

Ready to roll and below is ready to cook.

I was using https://www.maxxcamp.de/fleximodul-willy.aspx on my rental Beach, and now ordered the same for my own one. Perfect for me: it has a fridge and small gas burner, which will mainly be used for emergencies. We usually stay plugged in and cook on small Ikea induction hob.

We made our own kitchen unit, base is from IKEA and a Isotherm refrigerator.

Happy with my simple layout. Removable for when I don't want it in the van. Works for me

Currently have a slidepod, really love it, in fact it never comes out. Also use the window bags for storage to free up space inside.

You have a slide pod that never comes out? Anyway pics please. I love the beach with a slide pod. Edit. I get it now you mean it stays in the van all the time. Doh

Here’s my Vanessa unit.

Never really had any issues cooking in the Beach, with the equipment mostly already provided as standard. Plus, can use the kit outside, when the weather permits / preferred.

Here's my super flexible Beach kitchen complimented with a flexi-bucket (not pictured) for the washing up!

The folding gas stove packs away tiny, and is super stable. Cost about £30 from Cotswold Outdoors

Primus gas cartridges a little expensive but have found a cheap converter (about £1.50) to use the Butane CampingGaz canisters which are much cheaper.

Small cork mat underneath to protect table from heat.

I think there's a kitchen in here somewhere (photo taken from the sliding door).

And mine. (Ok so I’m messy!)

If I was buying again I’d go for the bigger Slidepod rather than the ultra. Live and learn I guess.

Well spotted we went to a star gazing night, the day was clear skies, the night, grey and rainy haha

Hi @mottbw I like the sound of window.bags, but do you not miss the extra light and view in the morning? One of my fav things is waking up and opening the blind (but really could do with extra space as well)

 

[MattBW]

We sleep in the roof so we don't notice the light really. You still have the rear window and the middle sides.

Arrh, i see. Makes sense then really. Do you ever stealth camp?

This is such an interesting thread. Seeing how other owners deal with storage and cooking in their Beach is wonderful.

Of course the main advantages of the Beach is its flexibility and the fact that it doesn't have a fixed internal layout. Some seem to prefer the slick professionally made self contained removable kitchen cabinet whilst others prefer to do a bit of DIY to create their optimum layout. Personally we are very much at the minimalist end of the spectrum. We have everything we need to store, refrigerate or freeze, cook (inside or out), wash up and relax with out needing any form of unit. This wouldn't suit everyone but that's the whole point. The Beach is so versatile that what ever you want to do it will probably be the ideal choice.

Isn't that always the way. Any mention of anything like a Comet or an lunar eclipse and bosh, nothing but clouds!

Lovely place. One of my favourite spots. I should think it's ideal for star gazing.

I think there would be decent grounds for a modular ‘60/40’ split rear bench in a Beach. Imagine being able to slide out part of the bench and replace it with modular ‘ocean’ bits or Beach (2 seat style) Storage Box at will. I would be all over that.

We don’t miss any ‘light’ from having the VanEssa window bags but then we’ve never really camped anywhere with a view worth seeing - it’s usually just a hedge
