Doing a DIY kitchen build in your van can be intimidating. But it doesn't have to be!
I was struggling to figure out a simple way to build a kitchen for my Ram Promaster, and all the videos I found seemed really complicated and tough to incorporate into my own specific build.
This kitchen build requires minimal skill and only a couple tools! I don't think it looks half bad either. You'll be living the van life before you know it!
Material-wise, all you need is some 2x3's and plywood. Or, if you want to get fancy like me, you can use butcher block for your countertop, but it certainly isn't necessary!
All the wood is held together with wood screws and/or wood glue.
This video walks you through the process of how I built my kitchen, and I explain it in a simple way so that you can use the same principles to design your own kitchen to fit YOUR SPECIFIC VAN.
I'll provide links to any tools or items used down below.
