What option would you go with when it comes to a stove in a van? Built in or not? Let us know in the comments!
Sara & Alex James - 40 Hours of Freedom induction
I am still in the purchasing stuff phase of my conversion. i plan on going with the 3 or 4 burner stove oven combo ran on propane because i love cooking with gas and because baking.
Plz respond to my comment about you guys building the inside of my van I really need help!!
Hi guys! Would you suggest any ovens? I really like baking and don't know if I could give it up or what to do abt that part of a build. I'd definetly have solar if that makes a difference
Both... a build in propane stove with lid. It can't fail, induction has electronics that in an offroad vehicle can suffer from vibration (they're build for home use). And a outdoor stove/oven/grill if the BBQ is not an option.
In Europe: to register a van as a camper you need some minimum requirements to comply with legislation. It varies from country to country a bit (England has some new rules) but in several countries one of them is that you have a fixed apparatus for cooking. That may be an induction stove or a microwave as long as you bold it down.
Most seen over here are 22lbs propane bottles with build in stoves and fridges running on propane (some also boilers and heaters). Solar and battery then are quite small and lightweight (3,5t GVWR limit). Compressor fridges are trending and so larger capacity batteries, but then still stove on propane. Some ditch the propane and go for the diesel stoves (Wallas and Dometic), instead of heavy battery, inverter and electric stove.
Did I miss the oven part?
I would go with a full stove and oven with a butcher block top that folds down on top of it, for example the setup Trent and Alie have in their van.
I hope you guys do another video about just ovens. Because some us out here love to cook and bake. Great video and awesome conversions.
Electric skillets are great, I use them for my cooking school.
I have a Wallas diesel stove, I absolutely love it. It looks good, super easy to install and I love cooking on it. Uses hardly any diesel (and no, doesn't smell at all) just a tiny bit of power for starting up and no extra fuel source.
The layout of the van that you’re in looks amazing! I can’t wait to see the tour
In our Promaster build 400 amp hours battle born, we have a Coleman portable or a 2 burner induction depending on what type of traveling we are doing. This is awesome for when we cook bacon etc.we can cook out side. We also have one 330 watt solar panel and a separate system to plug in additional portable panels.
I am in the beginning of my build, and have selected a single burner to stow away because I don’t plan to cook a lot, and I’m not elaborate. Thanks for this!
Amazing build out, looks super clean 😍
I like ur vid a lot. It's 2 yrs old but it ranked highly in My algorithym. Kudos. I built a coffee truck from scratch b4 YT vids but always looking for new ideas/upgrades. My propane power espresso maker is the bomb! I highly recommend cooking with gas, but, only if you are smart enuff to follow All the rules... to a T!! Seriously folks. I also like portable electric cooktop, toaster oven and outdoor bbq (propane) to take advantage of all power sources when cooking off-grid. Be safe & bon apetite
imo cheapest van cooking option: outdoor portable bbq $40 + 20lb refillable tank $20. Use ur kettle, frypan, and Bialetti coffee maker at same time and u still have the grill for bbq dinners for a 2-4wks++ *always add the stovetop kettle for hot wash-up/dishwater too! nomnomnom y'all
Great advice on stoves. I would like to have propane oven/stove because I love to cook. I really love the ceiling.
love the drop bed..
I love you guys! Thanks for all your hard work! I’d love to have a van built by you guys. Best Wishes 😉
BUILT IN ..I built my counter using 1" black granite. Using a diamond blade, I cut a square though the granite and installed a black glass Induction cook top flush with the counter top ( no uneven edges, no appliances to wrestle with) Wifey loves it.
Best van conversation ever!
Great video. I'm going with a portable inverter and a butane portable cooktop. Both of which will go in a drawer.
love the drop bed...
First of I would use a toaster oven or I would use the smallest Crock-Pot that will use around 100 watts
I also have a itaki shabuki pot that uses 600 watts, I can cook pork and sauerkraut in 1 1/2 hours
great information!!! I'm searching for a fiberglass camper for a DIY reno. So I'm 'attending' TH-cam University(as my son calls it) Propane terrifies me, but being able to take a cooktop outside is appealing. I like the idea of something tucked away in a drawer to maintain cherished counter space. Microwave/convection/air fryer/slo cooker combos are very affordable. But more solar power is needed for something like that. You touched on so many things I had questions about. Thanks. I'll be checking out your other videos.
Good 아주깔끔하구 좋네여 여행잘하시구 항상행복하세여~~~
Great video. Portable stove is a no brainer, whether propane or induction, who the heck can afford a built in one and if it goes wrong, it would cost a fortune to replace when on the road?
Thank you 😊
Great video, I was going to order the Coleman stove/oven on Amazon. Thank God I saw this video and quickly realized it wouldn't be a good idea; it would take up all the counter space. So thanks.. on another note ..Sarah, you have such beautiful skin - you just glow in these videos. I just watched a few of your older videos with interviews of your BFF's - I am guessing you are about the same age as these woman. Anyway, whatever you are doing - keep doing it and be careful of the sun, if you don't it will catch up to you one day. Kisses to Vance and the pups.
I cook a lot and rarely use more than one burner at the same time. In fact it almost never happens and all dishes can be streamlined.
You guys build beautiful vans! ❤️👍🏿 I have a one burner, propane / butane stove (I call it my stow n go). I like the flexibility of dual fuel capability. I do like to take it outside on a sunny morning to heat up my coffee water / cook my oatmeal. I do like to have an uninterrupted countertop.
yes! i took mine kayaking for 10 days. Yippee-kai yay!
Your videos are awesome! I noticed the bed lift. Is there another video on how that’s as done/dimensions or somewhere else you have that information? I’m looking into potential ideas for when I do a van conversion and I’ve seen the bed lift a few other places and I’m intrigued on how different ways it can be done. Thank you :)
Wonderful idea on the coffee, I’m currently using my smart kettle and espro press. I dig the tailgating grills that slide out with an entire kitchen. I’m building one soon but I’m debating on my fuel. I’m thinking I’m just going to do the Coleman method with a build out for electric when I have more batteries
buy a Bialetti coffeepot. Brews a perfect cup on any hot surface, incl bbq, campfire, etc. Its a tank built to last! cheers
I would get the portable induction one burner stove. Also a small electric skillet. And I would bring along my toaster/oven to bake with. I cook a lot. I would prefer not to have any propane on board. That being said, how would the hot water be heated up? With a instant hot water system? If I ever get a van conversion I would definitely have you guys do it. You do a great job.
I have 2 induction burners. One is in the kitchen in my house and the other is packed in the rubbermaid container for my van

Love the range n oven ones but I'm looking for an electric version
I want one of these vans
Hey guys, thank you so much for your videos, I always learn a lot! I have a question regarding the induction cooktop option. I don't understand how is it possible for anybody to have enough power to use an induction stove. I have the same electrical installation as you mentioned in the video, but all the induction stoves I see are using 110/220 volt and need a minimum 1800 W. -_-
What electricity components/how many solar panels/lithium batteries would you need for a June oven and induction cook top
@0.14 are those standard crew van seats in their standard placement and can they be slid or remounted a little bit back to have more space for lagun table?
Hi, would love to find out more about oven options, as it is something I really want in our van. I love baking, and would hate to have to compromise on it. My question would probably be pros and cons between the electric and gas ovens, I wished you would’ve touch that side a little more 😊 anyway, love the conversion 💞
I agree. I gotta have my banana bread and chocolate cake, so I'd like to know the difference too.
Most are 2kW oven for preheat it will run on full power, after it will modulates. Let's bake a pie or something like that with preheat and some decent time. Let's say it averages on 1kW during 1 hour period, it then used 1kWh. 1kWh @ 12v is about 85Ah, with losses of energy in inverter etc. 100Ah from battery. That is an addition to your normal capacity, which also needs to be charged. In best case scenario it adds 30lbs and $750 to a lithium setup (60lbs and $100 for lead acid), but maybe you need some more solar panels, heavier inverter, heavier charger etc.
Propane (LPG) has about 14kWh per kg, that's about 7kWh per lbs, so a 1 lbs will give you 7 hours of baking.
Proper installation of both setups is crusial for safety (electrical may look easier, but I've seen people doing it, thinking they where doing it wright, while making it a fire hazard (yes, a battery can explode also)).
One of mine personal vans has a propane installation, fills with 25lbs of propane and is used for stove, fridge and outdoor oven and grill (heater is also an option). Battery system is just a small 44Ah, without solar with 150W inverter for charging laptop etc.
@@Jeroen_M625 I’m wondering if you wouldnt mind giving some advice. I’m starting to plan my van conversion and want to plan as much as possible before buying anything. I was also questioning lpg vs electric for oven etc so your info has been great! My question is what size lpg tank would you recommend for full time living in a van? I’ll be solo travelling so using it at least once a day. I’m wanting to have mine stored under the van and will be looking to get it professionally fitted as I don’t have a clue what I’m doing in that area!
@@d.i.ypetaccessories It depends on your way of living and traveling. I know some couples living in vans; 1 couple had a rule that they only visit warm areas, so not a big load of clothes, no boiler and even no heater, lot of BBQ, while one of the other couples live for some extreme winter sports, so heater allway running, warm showers etc. Two extreme points on the spectrum of van life, so I will try to come up with something generic.
Cooking:
Most stoves have larger and smaller burners. A typical 2.2kW burner uses 160g/h, a 1.8kW 130g/h. A camper oven is about 1kW and uses around 80g/h.
So for burning some croissants, solidify a few eggs and boiling the tea kettle in the morning, toasting some bread for lunch, brewing a stew and later some hot cocao and dishwater takes about 500g... Lets say you say you boil a kettle a day and half an hour of cooking on both burners will be more realistic so for most of the days is about 200g a nice base point.
Fridge:
Absorbtion about 150-250g/day.
Heating:
2kw heater about 160g/h. low setting 80g/h 12h/d --> 1kg/day
Boiler (combi with heater is possible):
10l (2,5gallon) 4kw 335g/h. 25min 10C/50F to 60C/140F --> 150g/cycle
A Burgundian in a colder area with a warm shower will use around 1850g (4lb),
a more sparingly person in a warmer climate may only use 450g/day (1lb)
Size of tank is not a very high influence on total price of the system. i.e. a 20l/10kg (5gallon/20lb) tank for under a van (simular to the original tank under a Vanagon) costs over here 290 euros and 70l/35kg (17.5gallon/70lb) is 365. Do not forget that a tank is limited to 80% filling. A 5 gallon tank will hold 4 gallons or 16lb of gas, enough for 4 to 16 days. try to match it with your water capacity: i.e. it does not make sence to station somewhere for 2 weeks if you do not have the energy or the water capacity for 1.
If weight is not an issue take the biggest tank that will fit.
If you have a van that runs on diesel: there are also (combi)boilers (truma D) and stove heater combi (Wallas) on diesel. bit more expensive, but one fuel fits all.

i buldit one, and now bulding another one :)
You can recess the stove and have the counter lay on top of it then move out of the way when you're ready to cook
Wenn you guys cook are you windows open?
How did you do in winter wenn the van has only door close?
For the example you mentioned where you rigged up the dometic stove to work with 1lb propane tanks, is there anything in particular that needs to be modified for this?
Hi! Where are you guys located? Thinking about having you to build my future van. Thanks!
Do you know of a electric range and oven combo? If so how much power do I need?
Oh my, I have just watched your old video and this new and I found big differences - and I am not talking about the camper vans.
Personally I like a little of both but that’s just me. So let me ask you guys a question, if you don’t mind, refrigerators... the “normal everyday style “ or the top loading fridge/freezer combo? Thanks
Good points but I would say our van with a 2000W inverter and induction cooktop is very workable. At least that's how Pleasure Way builds it. :)
Is it safe to run a portable propane Coleman stove inside a van?
How about a basic Kurig coffee maker. Coffee maker / hot water maker.
Where did you get the bed lift please
Hello, I am sorry I am new here and was wondering if there is a link for the complete build out of this particular van? A cost breakdown for the build out specifically, and overall cost out the door?
Thanks for your time and consideration!
Yes we haven’t released the van tour yet! It’s coming out next week with all the details so stay tuned!
Does anyone know where to find the domestic sove and oven combo?
Did you ever live in Eugene Oregon?
Please please tell me in inches the depth of your countertop??
Realizing that this is an older vid, what are the dangers of propane tanks? It seems to me if another vehicle slams into the storage space with your tanks, then you may very well have a disaster on your hands. Accurate? Lastly, isn't the danger of propane contain within the vehicle a potential danger to CO and leakage?
NO MORE VIDEOS W/O AT LEAST A PIC OF THE BABY!!!!! LOL😀 I had my fingers crossed. But very informative video! I think I’d prefer a 3 burner w an oven. I’d possibly do camp stove if I could have an oven. Thanks for sharing!
You didn't mentions ovens at all? I'm looking for a small fully electric oven option
Yeah I was disappointed, I came for the discussion of ovens and left empty handed :-(
Induction only 🤗🇨🇦
I'd prefer induction, not fixed. Propane freaks me out in closed areas.
The coleman stoves are not safe for indoor use.
so u lose a cabinet so u can put the stove. good reason for stove put away is portability
imo cheapest van cooking option: outdoor portable gas bbq $40 + 20lb refillable/exchangeable propane tank $20. For cooktop needs: Use ur *stovetop kettle, frypan, and a $20 Bialetti espresso coffee maker All at same meal time and later u will still have the grill for bbq dinners for approx 2-4wks++ **protip: while grill is hot, add a full kettle/pot for hot water wash-up/dishwater too! nomnomnom y'all Any heating devices uses Aaaaa LOT of AC. Microwaves/coffee maker are the worst, they will drain ur batts everytime. Use gas if u can for heating. imo. Be safe. Happy trails xo PS: if u have en-suite laundry in ur rig....nevermind
Must. Know. More. About. The. Bed.
Tour is coming out next week! Stay tuned!
