- Complete kitchen walkthrough for my Toyota HiAce campervan conversion.
It was my mission to create THE most functional campervan kitchen that I could fit in a Hiace without sacraficing the nice (Instagram van😅) aesthetic.
I'm really proud of the final design and can happily say after almost a year living in the van that I'd definately recommend the design to any ambitious van builder.
But I hope you can find a few features that you think might make life easier on the road even if the whole build isn't your cup of tea!
This stylish campervan kitchen design includes:
Outdoor cooking bench (single gas stove/chopping board)
Access to running water at sliding door (Game changer!)
Heaps of storage
52L Bushmans Fridge
Utility space (10/10 recomend!)
Completely self-contained plumbing system (accessible for maintenance)
-Seaflo 21 series 12v water pump
-Seaflo water inlet
-42L Fresh/20L grey water tanks
-John Guest/food grade 10mm flex hose plumbing
-Bidet hose (Bunnings)
-Ugly campervan tap
-DIY sink made from Bain Maree stainless tray

Nice kitchen set up!
Thanks heaps mate, certainly gets the job done 😄
Now that’s a beautiful van kitchen 😮
haha Thanks mate. Stressing more about the video itself personally 😆😆
Love it🤗
Thank you Joni! 🤗🫶🏼
Mate this is genius!
Thanks Gabs!! It all started with your van 🥹
Sick build! Got a Hiace after selling my DIY converted transit. Will definitely be using this as inspiration!
Love it man! You must have heaps of ideas after that first build too 😄 I'd love to hear any improvements you've thought of on this build! 🙂
As someone with the same van, more pov style, I’d say you’ve absolutely nailed the design and layout Jake. Are you able to get your seats back for engine access/services etc? Ta 👏🏻🥰
Thanks Deb, appreciate it 😊
Yes you can absolutely get access for servicing. Ran it by my mechanic before beginning 🙂
What a thought-out setup! Love it 😍
Glad you like it!
Really nice set up, well done! How did you go with the electrical work? Did you register it from commercial to camper? Cheers
Thanks heaps 😄 No I haven't looked into converting the classification. Would you recommend it?
@@JourneyVanBuilds to be honest I don’t know if its needed. I’ll find out if is needed in Australia and let you know. Cheers ✌🏼
Does your kitchen setup allow access to the engine hatches behind it? like the hatches that allow you access to the oil filter etc?
Yes absolutely 🙂 I spoke with my mechanic before beginning to make sure I left all the appropriate access
Hi my name is Chris and I'm fitting out a 2006 Toyota HiAce commuter van,the problem is I'm not a cabinet maker or builder so can U send any spec onn your fitting out of your van ,I'm about to start on the roof with tongue and cover and not sure on the battens and were to put them ,I would really appreciate it, thanks Chris ,one more thing if you r ever in Tin can bay my wife and I will take U sailing cause we live on a small yacht in Tin can bay, thanks again Chris and Alex of yacht toccata.⛵
Hi Chris and Alex! I'll keep that in mind if I'm ever up your way haha I've never been sailing.
I hear you man. The framing for walls and ceiling is what heaps of people struggle with so don't feel bad. I have a pretty good little system but I don't have any videos on it yet. I'll see if I can put something together explaining how I do it for you 👍🏼
Hi again what stain did you use on ya timber roof.
Very well done. I have a question. If you hinged the cabinet top over the open space would you have access to the cab? I really liked the drawer hardware and the location of the outside cooking tray.
Sorry, I really like the car but the handsome guy is far more interesting in my option!
Hahahah Always was always will be my biggest fan 🥰
Thanks Phillip, I hope you're well!
What brand fridge is that Chris?
It's "Bushmans"
I love your set-up, brother!
Have a slwb Hiace to build, and many Hiace/van builds have the kitchen in that location which I've wanted to avoid so that I can jump between the back and front when required.
Your "free space" idea just solved my problem!! Will go with that design now, but, will add a hinge above it on the countertop so I can lift it for access into the cabin area!!! 🤘👍🫶
A hinge to allow access is actually genius! I hadn't even thought of that but you're right and it wouldn't even be difficult to install 🤩 Love it
@JourneyVanBuilds
Yeah, I think the front kitchen layout is the best option, but I just couldn't get past that hurdle. Have to be able to access the front from inside for security purposes.... or bad weather, etcetera.
Have also thought to redesign that middle seat to face backwards for an extra bum space facing the back/living area.
I probably wouldn't have come up with the hinge idea without seeing your empty space idea!
