For the towel holder you can also find any kind of magnetic solution and just install 2 flat disks/anything the magnets will stick to, for instance in the lid of the kitchen, or even install them in 2-3 different places. That way you can move the paper towel holder around as needed, and by using the camper lid you'll be able to make use of a surface that currently does nothing other than act as a roof while camping. Otherwise it looks really awesome, and I'm sure you'll be able to convert/add new features as you get tips and use it to see what works/what doesn't, and what you find lacking or things that could otherwise be improved! :D

Envious, and informative. Cooking, I recommend a remote canister stove as it's lower down, more stable, clearer in your van from above. I also only buy the bigger 450g canisters by the 6-pack and I have some 100g and 250g smaller ones I refill to make more portable smaller cook kits.
The best cookkit is a Trangia 27 it does a better job at stability and wind protection AND you can put it anywhere it handles wind really well. I prefer meths if cooking for 1 as it's quieter and start cooking while I get everything else setup, but gas is more controllable for real cooking!

30: 30 Just a suggestion on the paper towel holder. Don't use a normal one, instead stretch an elastic bungee cord (the ones with the metal hooks on each end) under the cabinet from one side to the other and slide the tube onto that. then the towel tube can be slid and relocated back and forth and the bungee can be used to hang a bunch of other things on there too or just removed if it's not necessary. Just have inobtrusive eyelets installed on each wall of the kitchen to hook the bungees to.

Mount the extinguisher to the inside of your pop-up kitchen door, down near the bottom where there is a void it can nestle into in the kitchen area. It will be above you and away from the area where fires will be on the counter. You don't want the extinguisher stuffed back where the fire will be and have to reach through the fire to get at it. Above you, under the door, will be easily accessible and not take any counter space while you're cooking.

Nice set up. Just thinking - I've been using Trangia stoves for decades with the spirit burner, and could never see a practical use for their gas burner conversion. For a trailer camper like yours they make good sense. Kettle, fry pan and two pots in a mini kitchen like you camper, along with a small pack down size seems like a great idea. Also, a bolt on side-awning over the door looks like a great addition without too much weight.

You’ve done exactly what my father did about 45 years ago. He took us on trips to the Lake District and Loch Lomond. We were a family of 6 taking a 4 berth caravan which he painted Matt black after a few trips pulled by a LWB series 3 Land Rover which two of us slept in. I remember once being at a campsite near Kendal and went through four seasons in one day, sun, hail, wind and pouring rain. good times on a summer holiday.

Nicely done.
Some remarks:
No good idea to keep the tail door open when it rains. The water drains to the open edge and the kitchen get flood from there. I'd have placed the tap more to the outside edge or would have used a sliding board.
The bullseye window, you can simply unmount from outside and remount exactly at the same from inside. Then you can open it from inside.

Isn't the point of a stealth camper to make other people think that what they're looking at, isn't a camper at all
Because that looks exactly like a camper to me and i would assume there is somebody in it doing camping stuff.
You could have put at least a camouflage net over it, in order to make it somewhat stealthy. Or do i miss here something

Great video. For when the kitchen is up, could you create some type of nylon fabric panel to Velcro in on each side to prevent wind/rain from coming in An odd-triangular shape with Velcro strips hot glued on the edges. Maybe shower curtain material so you could just lower the boot quickly. It would be very cheap to make.

You should design a little dog shelter and weld it onto your camper so that way you can see through a glass window and each of you can have your own personal space while sleeping at night. Plus maybe you can like oyt a sheet metel ontop of your camper at angle so that your camper won't get soaks from leaks

Very enjoyable video. I liked watching all of it. I would also put mesh on the porthole window, and flip it around to lock from the inside. And i would also hang curtains on the inside because i like my cozy privacy: ) Good job on all you did. Must have been quite the time. Good memories.

Mount a bowl on top of the counter.
Medium size stainless steel bowl with a hole drilled in the bottom to fit the drain fixture. Drill a hole in countertop, bucket underneath! Waalaa!
You have a beautiful pup!
Turn the porthole around.
Great little camper!

Why not attach the kitchen roll holder to the bottom inside of the boot door (just above the lock, so that when the boot is open it is just above head height That way, you won't risk brushing your greasy hands against anything like you would if it was in the inside of the boot.

I really like how you did the camper that was really nice but I would like to see you do more camping in it without all the talking I get the talking because of it to do and you had to explain it it's very nice I love the camper but I would like to see you do more

There is no such thing as a 'stealth' camper. Everyone knows what you are doing. Unless you disguise your vehicle as a trade vehicle and even then parking up somewhere you don't expect to see a trade vehicle is going to arouse suspicion. It's a silly myth.

awesome project. watching you set up the kitchen made me think it would be useful to attached a tarp to the boot's door that you can unfold to expand the space that's realistically protected from rain. A few expanding rods shouldn't take up too much more space

Great video as always. Just a idea maybe you could add some Turn buttons or some Tenax Fasteners around the outside of the kitchen area and have some canvas sides quick to setup and pack away will offer protection from side rain and wind.

Great video. Mate, a tarp over the top of your camper extended over the back to cover the kitchen area would have been ideal. A few tent posts & guy ropes & Bob's your uncle. Provides a place to sit in a camp chair under shelter as well.
