Very nice design and details! How much does she weigh? Looks like it might be more than a 1-man job getting in/out of the trailer?

There is a reason it is in the trailer. I think the only downfall is the weight. I guess around 60 lbs and that is empty. It's basically a sheet of 1/2 Birch ply and a 1/4 sheet 3/4 Oak ply and a ton of screws. The unit stand alone is not bad but when you add the extra stuff like propane tank and cook stuff it adds a bit. Getting it in and out is easy with one person. Slide it half way, drop one set of legs, slide it almost all the way and drop the other set. They lock in and then you just wiggle it around till you get it in position. :cool:
 
Very nice. Only problem I see, is that you just added another project on my list of things todo. Once I have my trailer built, I will be looking to build a camp kitchen. Thanks for posting.

Holy smokes thats nice.

Let me know when you come through Munising [Central U.P.] and you can rest at the lake if you'd like.

Maybe we can even cook some fish on your mobile kitchen.

Maybe even some of these fish!!!

What? Tongue fish? :flipoff2:
 
Northern Pike are great eating! All you have to know is how to get rid of all rib and back the bones. Depending on my timeline... I might just take you up on that. I used to fillet 1800 lbs of White Fish a day so I am pretty handy with a knife.
 
When I lived in Minnesota, we used to eat Walleye Pike, not the Northerns. As I recall they were pretty good.
 
Maybe get a cutting board to fit over the sink when not in use. Give ya some more space right next to the stove...good looking unit as is.

Correct. Walleye is the favorite here but Northern's are overlooked as a good eater because of the bones. Takes a sharp and skilled hand to extract the smaller bones to make it go down. A favorite bar food Up Nort is pickled Northern. Disolves or softens the bones. Just looking at it makes me puke.
 
very nice job indeed. More info on the fawcett, please...West Marine item?

Somehow, I knew YOU would be on this. Don't forget to build in the air powered blender.

IIRC a standard Oster blender will accept a 1/4" ratchet drive. All you need is a reducer for your impact wrench and a blender pitcher from the thrift store. ;)

Indeed it will, and Ashfaq has already demonstrated the concept in Death Valley. He ran the blender with a die grinder!

It was a butterfly impact for that "super high" RPM ice crushing speed actually:D

The faucet is a single twist top and the water connects through the back via a hose to the truck with the onboard tank and on demand pressure pump. Water on, pump on, water off pump off. West Marine...

If you look at the photo with the red checkered dish cloth, in the storage aria in the back is the inlet for the H2O. Here are some shots of the water hose from the truck and the inlet on the outside back of the unit.

Thanks for all the comments guys.

Mind sharing more about the onboard water pump? Sounds sweet!

Kitchen looks great:cheers::cheers:
 
Rob, sorry for the delay. Pump is a FloJet from an RV camper supply. It pushes 1.5 gal/hr and is an on demand set up. When water pressure drops ( shower on) the pump goes on and when pressure is up ( shower off) the pump shuts off. It is self priming and will suck water from a ground level (four feet) container if primed properly although the printed instructions mentioned having teh pump at or below the water tank. I had the pump mounted upside down the first time I started it and it was sucking instead of pumping so I figure it will lift water a little bit. It runs pretty quiet and is built pretty well for what I'm going to use it for.

Here is a link to a very similar pump. This one says 1.1 gal/min the data sheet on mine says 1.5.
