Today we're constructing a full camp kitchen in the back of my diy canopy setup to make our life a bit more comfortable when we're camping off-grid. I'll run you through every step of the process, taking this slide-out camp kitchen from the idea phase to the end product. Hope you guys enjoy and please let me know what you think! 😊

Morning of Day 4 - looked knackered. Well done for not referring to the lowest bench as "Bianca's bench".
Hahaha we were just chatting earlier and saying that we should have got her to come on camera to do a 'low-bench review' at the end of the ep. 😂
You could of righted some channel across the open tabs and used it for a tea towel rail. Now you are relying one one lock to fail and have a heavy draw fall out on you.
Like a push down rail system like shopping center emergency exits.
seen that lots of times, one hand operation of both basically surprised wouldn't go that way.. (the tea towel rail part is a bonus part of it.. and you can always take it off..)
That was my original plan actually, but would be a messy solution for this build unfortunately. Because both sets of runners are inline with each other, the ‘bar’ for the outermost slide would prevent the lower bench from sliding out. This could be overcome by adding extension pieces to raise this outer bar up and out of the way, but just didn’t want it to look messy and pretty happy with how it’s turned out. 🙂
@@explorebound Solid work building this. Turned out killer.
@CAPTAINCOOK406 Thanks mate! 😁
Killing the game mate!
A bit late now but Duraslide in Perth have the drawer slides much cheaper that Dunn and Watson.
Thanks mate! Just had a look and can see their 813mm slides are about 20% cheaper than Dunn & Watson so will definitely keep that in mind for next time 👍
Finally some good news for Perth
Brilliant work. Great cabinetry skills.
Brilliant work!
Wow! So impressive!
Well done 👍
Well done and also thank you for the detailed presentation. I downloaded all 4 previous( 1 year ago clips) to try and figure out what you did. And that I just did yesterday! And here we are where you detail them in one episode today. Many thanks and all success!!
Well done mate. Looks great, thanks for sharing.
Well done on this build. Very inspiring to say the least.
Along with “measure twice, cut once” they shoulder also say “Don’t try to finish late at night, leave it for the morning”. Great job.
Great build Daniel looks very professional and practical. Look forward to the next video
Love ya work! Apart from not painting the bare alloy and runners black to match the rest, they look fantastic!
Love your work daniel 👌🏼
Great Vid. Super informative. Thankyou.
Love your work mate. Definitely given me some inspiration for my canopy.
I'm about to re do the kitchen side in mine good thing I saw this first seems like a more solid option than just all timber
Love the build videos 🎉
Awesome mate, well done
Very cool, well done 👏
great work
Brilliant video mate, looks so good!
Great work
Nice work and great ideas on fit out. I’ve used the alum with plastic friction fit joiners on few Ute back seat deletes, and have found along with lock tight on the Riv nuts I had to add a rivet to the joiners which stops them pulling apart.
Came up treat awesome work
Nice job mate, big job. Easy to get it good enough and move on.
Really killer job there mate. Nice work
Great work mate...
cheers for documenting this mate, I need to reduce weight in my canopy and think ill be doing the same thing you've done!
Nice job. To eliminate air bubbles in the roller it needs to be fully saturated with your finish/ paint and then unload most of it back in tray before attempting to use. Not sure about that finish over pre oiled material. Raw would be better if going for a full sealer/finishing coat or stay with a food grade butcher board oil and just reoil as needed.
Nice Job, Chippy here, with the benchtops did you seal both top and bottom ? if not, whack a coat on the bottoms to equalize moisture absorption, if you only did the top the bottom will absorb more moisture and warp the panels and the underneaths will also be prone to mold,.when rolling panels like these, go for the 100mm wide 4mm nap microfibre rollers, these give a flawless finish, the draw construction was a different way to build them, but if it works that's all that matters 👍👍
Great work. Good design to maximise the available space. I too am a fan of rivnuts. Though the tool you have seems so much easier to use by attaching it to a drill. Mine is manually driven, but it works nonetheless.
Rippa design, end product looks awesome!! 👌 The bench tops contrast so well with the black and carpet! Even the orange lock tabs goes well with the Explore Bound logo 😊
Thanks mate appreciate that! Haha yeah they sure do! 🙂
Mate that looks awesome! I love it 🍻
Hey guys! Stoked with all the positive feedback regarding this little diy kitchen. 😁 Here are the design files for those asking (keep in mind they're definitely not professional haha but I hope they help if you're planning your own build!) bit.ly/3JC7W6G
Thank you, really help to start 😊
Awesome job! Well done!
Very impressive my friend.
great DIY job... Look at clamping a straight edge for your circular saw to follow when doing your rip cuts
Looks great. Always takes longer than expected but well worth it.
Thanks 🙂
Matttttte this look fantastic!
Great work. Super practical setup. Spray contact adhesive for the carpet is easier.
Cheers mate! I've used spray adhesive on previous projects and always found that it comes off over time leaving the carpet 'saggy'. That was actually the main reason I tried the turf glue for this project. 🙂
You must have share's with Bunning's and ryobi, lol How bout showing us how the rivenut works, Can't wait for continuation on yahh build. Well done 👏👏 Thanks for sharing 👍😎
I take my hat of to you mate, that would honestly be prob the best draw system I've ever seen. Great job 👌
Thanks mate, really appreciate that! 🙂
I like the LCS 4X4 idea better and neater for the drawers 👍
Doesn’t work on a 2-stage slide with inline runners 👍
Wow really neat setup thanks. I would be glad to get hold of those diagrams somehow too.
Add another to that list
Thanks guys! Here's the rough designs: bit.ly/3JC7W6G
Looks amazing mate, very professional.
Thanks mate 🙂
woah man that's a greatly presented video! love the setup!
Thanks!! 🙂
Great work Daniel, can definitely see this isn't your first rodeo and got the experience of the other kitchens behind you haha. setting up for this to be the last one for a while at least. Gives me plenty to think about for my own Dmax now 🤔😅
mate! well done on the build and designed! very practical and look amazing!
Thanks mate!!
That’s sick I’m inspired to make one for my kitchen set up
Loving the new build! I'm planning on upgrading the second battery system that came in my car as its very bare bones. Would love to see an indepth video on your setup. I'm just slightly confused about why you need fuses and when to have fuses for camp lights etc. Keep up the awesome work!!
Thanks mate!! The 12V setup is next up so there will be a full video coming soon on that. 🙂
@@exploreboundcan't wait!
You only need to remove the locking tab in the back of the runner , this means you will retain the orange Tab and the lock out feature on full extension and half extension on both sides.
Good to know for future - thanks!
Looking familiar 👍 Nice work mate, great ideas executed with great attention to detail.
Thanks mate!! Was great testing it out for the first time on the track 😁
Never ever work when you are tired and should be on the sofa or in sheets .. 😅 but nice job and thanks for the idea of the alu Frame. Just working on a similar project and made my thoughts over the kitchensystem. Thx 🙏 Great Vid btw -
Thanks mate!
Turned out excellent. You're becoming a canopy kitchen pro
Thanks mate appreciate that!
Used the same aluminium square for my drawers and kitchen. If you're worried about strength, there are corner brackets that can be riveted on to add some strength. On those benchtops; food grade wax is the way to go. Might have to reapply every now and again.....
Yeah, definitely look at a food grade wax or chopping board oil if you're looking at doing food prep on it, it'll need to be reapplied from time to time but will help keep everything safe and sanitary.
For a single handed operation of locking and unlocking your drawers, wouldn't it have been easier to attach a bar that ran across the front of your drawer that connects to both sides of your locking knobs of your draw sliders have been an easier solution (than having to hack your expensive draw slides)? I believe Dunn and Watson also sell this part and it's a bolt on item.
That was my original plan actually, however that solution gets a bit messy when dealing with a 2-stage slide out system like this because the outer bar would be in the way of the inner slide out bar if that makes sense. You could solve this by adding extension pieces to the outermost slide-out module but at that point I think it would have just looked messy, and this solution is working great so far 👍
So when can i send in my order for my ute 🤣 love ya idea and setup mate 😊
Thanks mate!! Haha if only I was a bit quicker in the garage I could make them to sell, bit slow unfortunately🤣
@@explorebound we live in w.a mate, we are used to Waiting Awhile ahhahahaah
It would be great if you could compare the total car weight now compared to your previous canopy/tray setup
Removing one draw locking mechanism will now wear the other real fast and makes the draw rattle around, and yes I've been down this path and gone back to 2 locks with a crossbar, now the draw won't fail
great vid mate.. I've always done my fit-outs using timber, so it was good to see the aluminum version. Would like to see how you made the design on the web
Thanks mate! Here are the rough designs: bit.ly/3JC7W6G
@explorebound thanks mate legend. 👍
Excellent job … well done. Any idea what it weighs ?
Looks good, just a thought though. If you swapped the pull out kitchen and the food pantry it would allow for the pantry to act as a wind break for your prep area aswell as allowing the pantry to be accessed with the draws out on the kitchen slide. Just a thought probably to late to change anything now
Hey mate! Good suggestion and that’s how I had the previous canopy setup and it did work really well. The reasoning behind this layout is that my 12V outlets are going to be on the very RHS and the pantry would block access to this area. 🙂
Should have run a pipe across from each runner then you just push down to open 👍
That was my original thought actually! Ended up changing my mind and going this route instead because it was going to look a bit messy as the lower table and the upper bench runners were both inline with each other - would have had to run the outer bench handle up above the lower handle
Yes looking at the end of video looks heaps better mate 👍 nice work when are they for sale 😆
Job well done, Daniel.
Great design/ DIY build as always, would have kept the locking mechanisms in though, at least for main and bench slides. Single lockout will jiggle, which will be more of a nuisance over time than two handed opening. A piece of flat bar over bolted into orange tabs would have been the best solution, also seen it done with a narrow tube which looked super neat. If you're happy with it though that's all that matters...
Great work again Daniel!
Hey @explorebound , love the video and the build series. How much do you think this slide cost and weighed in total ?
Looks great! I currently have the xtm kitchen slide but weighs a ton! How much does your kitchen slide setup weigh? Really love the two small draws great idea
Looks really great!🎉 Really love those DIY episodes!👍 As you mentioend it at the end, I would be really keen to see how you planned the kitchen drawer - what software did you use?
Thanks mate! I used Adobe Illustrator for the plans. Here's a link to the drawings: bit.ly/3JC7W6G
Great job looking at doing something similar how much roughly did all the materials cost?
If you just put a bit of aluminium across both orange tabs it would make it a one handed opening then it will still lock in
How did you connect the frames to the draw runners ? Also where are you going to have your cooker ?
The frames are all screwed to the runners with a bit of loctite in there for good measure. We're going down the induction cooking route for this setup and will have a small, portable unit that can be placed on any of the benches
Hey great work mate curious what’s the software you use to do all the before planing on your computer
Hey mate, it's Adobe Illustrator 👍
Great job. No inbuilt cooker this time? Where will the cooker go? Cheers
Thanks mate! No inbuilt this time so we have the freedom to use the cooker wherever we please, we're going induction this time so setup will be minimal 🙂
What marine carpet is that? where from. Love the build!
Thanks mate! I got the carpet from Bunnings 🙂
Hey mate, roughly how much did this cost? Looks really good!!
The bond all website says the sealer is not designed to be permanent ie it needs a top coat ! The black Japan is very sexy !
Great build, is what software do you design this in?
Thanks mate! I used Adobe Illustrator
Love the build if you don't like to see the screws, I don't like it, you can use trim head screws they will bury themselves in through the carpet to be invisible
Cost? Those clip lock things would've made it expensive?
What brand are the under tray toolboxes ?
Hey mate, the whole canopy setup including the toolboxes are by MRT
Man I'd love to be able to do what you doing. It would be hard as I'd have no support. I'd keep telling myself it's too hard. 😢
Thanks mate! I find projects like this can seem a bit daunting when thinking of the project as a whole, but when you break it down to smaller steps it becomes more manageable. 🙂
Well planned , well made ….it may have answered ? 40 -50hrs time?
Thanks mate!! Hmm tough to say... probably around 30hrs build time, but always takes a bit longer setting up cameras and whatnot. 🙂
@@explorebound yep and that’s why custom is priced as it is..again well done..
Noice... Total Weight of Drawer system ??
Your video caused the red LED to go viral and sell out !!
You seem to build these a lot, why not just buy a non locking set and mix and match?
What price do you pay for the box tube, the bunnings stuff is crazy price, something like $17/m for the thin stuff. Any reason you use that over something like 2020 extrusion? Way stronger and can be had for $8/m from marketplace importers, fittings like corners going to be cheaper and stronger than brittle plastic connectors as well. The drilling down into the top face of your wood panel was painful, why not secure from the underside so you dont have nasty screw holes in your nice panel.
Is 2020 the extrusion with slots on all 4 sides? What corner pieces can you get for it?
Is it rude to ask for a rough cost of materials used ? Came out good tho!
You should have carpeted the final top. You won't want to put anything in that nice timber.
Nah definitely wouldn't want that carpetted - that space will be used as additional food prep area and easier to wipe any spills off sealed wood than carpet. That top bench will also form the floor of the food storage pantry area which will live on top. 🙂
@@explorebound big cargo drawers on the other side of the canopy?
Yep that’s the plan! 😁
Very informative, thank you. It would be great to see the drawings.
Thanks - glad you liked it! Here's the rough designs: bit.ly/3JC7W6G
@@explorebound super, thank you very much.
