How to Build a DIY Travel Trailer - Slide Out Kitchen (Part 13)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 окт 2024
- Thanks to the Home Depot Prospective and Ryobi Power tools for partnering on this build!
Back to the DIY Travel Trailer Project with a Slideout Kitchen build! This will serve as an outdoor cooking station and dining/food prep area for the trailer. I think this would be a great project for a van conversion, trailer build or for an overlanding SUV! In the video I go over the basic framing with pocket holes, aluminum trim, drawer glides, hinges, hardware installation, and even a little bottle opener cap catching set up! I hope it may give you some ideas or inspiration for your own project :)
Let me know if you have any questions! - Joe
NOTE: I mention in the video that there are about 20 videos on this trailer build, but this is listed as part 13. Why? Well, that is because some of the other ones like the trailer lock, battery box, bumper/stabilizers, etc,... were done as 'side projects' to the main build. Not sure why I did that but they should all be in the 'DIY Travel Trailer Project' playlist ;)

Nice work. Gotta love the golden oak stain.
Thanks! I do too! My wife picked it out so ultimately it’s credit to her😀👍
@@homesteadonomics I almost feel unoriginal because I almost always use that stain. Nice when your partners aesthetic taste aligns with yours.
I appreciate how you include images of the final product right at the beginning of the video. It helps us understand the various steps during construction. I wish more DIY RUclipsrs would do that. Thanks.
Thank you for letting me know! I prefer that as well when I see vids. But I know some don’t like it as well. However, I think most people like little bit of a preview so they can have a picture in their mid... which I think kinda makes the build portions make a bit more sense 😀👍
Very cool, looks very efficient and I like all the little details. The "Dad Bod" part was really funny.
Haha thanks! That was my favorite too! I need to incorporate some more of that kind of stuff more😀👍
Joe, I am sure I speak for so many of your subscribers when I say that this has been a brilliant series from the initial framing to now (even your response to the hailstorm calamity). I am sure it gives you enormous satisfaction when you see your family enjoying themselves so much in something you have built. A HUGE thumbs up.
Thank you Tony! It sure is a wonderful feeling to use it. When I wake up and look around at everything being built with my hands... it’s just such a nice thing to realize! When I see my girls sitting at the table or grabbing something out of a cabinet, it just makes me smile 😊
One of the best, most rewarding projects I’ve ever undertaken!
And as always I appreciate you watching and commenting... you may not know it but the comments have helped me think through the build as well as persevere to this point. Highs and lows but mostly highs😉👍🙏🙏
Every single click is sooo satisfying!
Yes, these glides have a nice click with every locking stage! Love it!
I have seen your all trailer videos.........
It's just awesome...
I love it.....
Keep going.....

Thumbs up for including real coke! Nice job on the trailer BTW! Enjoy your videos.
Thank you DL! The way they should be made! But it’s ironic that I’ve got to buy cokes that were bottled in Mexico to get real sugar😂.
now that turned out great, your corners on the trim always spot on
Thank you... I’ve really come to enjoy adding aluminum on these trailer builds... although my wife would prefer less aluminum😂
simply awesome! thanks for sharing 👍👍👍
Thank you DSW 😀👍
Brilliant idea to use the sliding-door lock bar for a support.
Simply Genius.. it looks like something of high quality that features in those outdoors magazines ..👌👍👍👌
Thank you Rami!!!😀🙏
Another excellent build. Thank you
Thank you!
Looking good.👍
Thank you Wayne!
Brilliant AND beautiful. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Vince!!
Try this for an Australian bottle opener (underside of a picnic table is best): Take two round-headed screws and screw them almost in allowing a bottle cap to fit between the underside of the screw and the table. The pitch of the two screws is such than when screwed in, almost touch. Slide unopened bottle under the table until the cap engages with the screws, and tilt bottle. Piddle easy to "make". Keep them thar vids a-commin'!
Now that’s got some beautiful simplicity to it... love those kinda creative things😀👍
That trailer is turning into a pretty slick little camper. Looking forward to the awning install.
Looks great! Reminds me of stuff my granddad built, right down to the golden oak stain. Stay well, my friend.
Thank you Tracey ! And I’ll take that kinda comparison😀🙏🙏
Excellent video, my style of craftsmanship. Happy trails.
Thank you Roy!
Nice job Joe very nice
Thank you!
Excellent build, appreciate you sharing with us!
Thank you Reinhard! 😀🙏
Well done. Very nice.
Thank you John!
Nothing like a cold Coca-Cola in a thin glass bottle. I buy those often as well. Great video Joe, as always. My best to ya
They’re my favorite! They are bottled in Mexico with real sugar! Wish the US would stop with the corn syrup... 🇲🇽Coke’s are the best😀👍

What a nice addition, it came out really nice . 👍
Thank you Rick!!
Pretty slick 👍 great job!
Thank you!!
Awesome, Enjoyed this segment of your invention. Be waiting for more.
Thank you Warren!
Really nice build
Thank you Tobias! 😀👍
Awesome work Joe! 😃👍🏻👊🏻
Thank you Fred! I’m camping right now and it’s working perfect😀👍
Absolutely beautiful job, thank you for sharing.
Thank you Daniel! 😀🙏
Always enjoy your videos. Great job as always very inventive. I actually found your RUclips channel when I was modifying my tent trailer. Glad someone sponsored you.
Man Joe, that is a nice build for your trailer and I especially like it when you use the aluminum to put a nice edge on your wooden projects.
Thank you Manny! I have really come to love trimming things out in aluminum! Gives such a nice and crisp look... as well as protecting the plywood edges😀👍
Nice work, as always. It's Soo good to see something relaxing and enjoyable during these crazy times. Your videos were the inspection to move to these parts after we lost our land in Nevada.
Thank you so much! If These videos can provide a little bit of relief for folks then that is just awesome! Seems like a lot of folks could benefit from turning off the ‘fear propagating’ news and just go make something with their hands. Or go on a hike or something... anything other than feeding into the frenzy😂
Btw.... I feel like I’m saying this again but I really want to come to one of your workshops at some point. Just been torn between work and these videos and other commitments (archery elk hunting right now... so that’s been a nice relief)
But I will make it to one! The schifflien days sounded like the best opportunity since it would be a great opportunity for my girls to see and do some fun stuff!
Sounds like fun. Are you bow or riffle hunting? Also, you could visit my place when you have time, maybe early next year?
Hey Joe, I sent you an email yesterday and I wasn't sure if I sent it to the right place. I will be a vendor at the Sahuarita Holiday Artisan Market this weekend. Swing by if you have time.
You're very handy💜Nice work you did
Thank you!
Nice work 👍👍
Thank you Diego!
That’s pretty neat! 😃 That shower will be awesome!
Thanks Pam! This is my quickest reply in a quite a while .... I’m in the trailer right now at 8,000’ and decided to answer all the comments😀👍
@@homesteadonomics Sounds fun!😃🌲
Teşekkür ederiz , ilgi ile takip ediyorum.
Great setup, that is such a well thought out design, right down to the rattle condenser. Nice video.
Thank you Raynola!
Very nice job. The bottle opener is essential :D
Thank you Val! Beers, cokes, or any other beverage that’s got a cap😉👍
"that is pretty much it" cheers to an always awesome project
I pretty much went overboard on my ‘pretty much’s’ at the end😂👍
You are a man of genius
this is definitely one of the best great design and craftsmanship, kudos to you dude, thank you for all the insight into the build.
Opening shot is absolutely gorgeous!
As usual, a big 👍(FYI...I giggle whenever you give the thumbs up, not sure why, as it just started recently 😏)
Hope you and the family have/had a great time.
❤️🌵☀️⛈️🌈☮️🐎
Thank you! That was our last camping trip! And the thumbs ups have kinda become a silly thing for me to do randomly now.... I’m guessing I do maybe 5-10 per video....haha.... and that’s after I cut out of few😂
Keep up with the 👍 It's your thing!
Besides, can use all of the giggles I can get these days.
Looks amazing..... I love it 😍!!! Awesome
Thank you!
This is a really cool build, I like the repurposed sliding door bar idea. I suggest making your bottle cap catcher a little longer and slope it so the cap slides out where you can reach it easier.
Nice work Joe. Minwax vs Varathane BRAND. So many years we were used to Minwax brand products, H-Depot shifted over to Varathane brand. Now i have to re-learn a bunch of new finishes. its probably similar. Anyway the big thing is desert dry-ness. 8 months out of the year i cant use this stuff. That aluminum trim is quickly becoming a signature of your work, its nice.
Thank you! I’ve really taken to trimming everything in aluminum... 😂. Just w like that crisp look and durable protection it provides.
As for the minwax and varathane. Honestly I’m not sure of too much difference. I’ve used both and in terms of usage I think they are about the same. And you are right with our desert dryness... that has made wiping the excess stain off in a timely manner even more important. Of course I do love being able to do recourse quicker than say, a humid area.
Sweet ! Your geinus scares me - great job 👍🏼
Thanks for checking it out😀🙏
Good job I liked very much
Thank you Samir!😀🙏🙏🙏🙏
Great video! Nice build...Thanks for sharing! I've got to build the same think for mine. I have to build a kitchen drawer identical to what you just built, and one on the other side for a water wank that I'll be able to slide out. FYI don't buy a cheap awning if you install one on your camper. I bought a cheap amazon awning, and the extruded metal portions are so thin it only took a little wind to bend it.
Excellent 👍
Thank you Johnny!
Slide out turned out nice Joe. I'm hoping to have my slide out done by spring. Don't feel bad, I've been working on my trailer for 3 years :D
Thanks! Yes I think these are one of those kinda builds that you tinker on and never truly end! A passion of sorts😀👍
Excellent. Put one of those magnetic knife holder bars on the side to hold everything from trash bags to knives while you are cooking.
Wow that was so cool to see. thanks for sharing. Aloha
Thank you St Myles!! And Aloha back to you😀👍
Well done, and that's pretty much it! Share some of the camping country footage if you're keen. Always looking for new AZ camping locations to take the family.
Thank you Mark and Jess! I probably won’t on this one as I’m archery hunting...and I know many folks might take issue. But I can tell you I’m up on the west side of the San Francisco/Kachina Peaks just outside of Flagstaff off of a forest service road. Got aspens and pines around... really nice! But you can be certain we will do some more camping related videos soon.... my girls are itching to do some desert camping now that the temps are right😀👍
Awesome trailer and outdoor kitchen. Well constructed and thought out. I would add a task light either to the slide out or to the side of the trailer. I was also thinking of a small sink and water source but you beat me to it.
Cheers mate. I was gonna do something similar and this answers the probs I had. Thanks x
Thanks for checking it out! And if it gives you any ideas for your own that would be cool😀👍
Wow!! great design and function, love the aluminum trim I used the same on my slide camp kitchen!!!
Thanks for sharing this video Joe. Your creativity and attention to detail is inspiring. You have the potential for connecting a larger 5 gallon bottle of propane on the ground under the drawer pullout. Potentially, the larger tank could be plumbed into a demand water heater supplying hot showers as well as for dishes. Stay safe in your journey. Greetings from NE Ohio and wishing you and your family peace, health and happiness during the coming holiday season. Peace brother.
Thank you Cat! Yes I’ve been thinking about a larger propane connection that could also serve a shower set up too! That’ll depend what shower setup I get but I’ve been eyeing some of those on demand shower systems. Pretty darn cool stuff out there!!
And best wishes to you and your family for the upcoming holidays!😀🙏👍
Great job Joe. I must admit I love a cold bottle of eh, Coke!
Thank you! And the bottled cokes are my favorite😀👍
Great video
Thank you Daniel!
Really enjoy your videos, you inspired me to build my own as well. Looking forward to your awning build !! 👍
✌
Like those real sugar cokes from México!
Nice work on the camper.
well done , lovely job 👍
Thank you!!!
Wow Joe that is an awesome design you've made. And yes I love the trim. I'm like you about that stainless trim. It gives it a great look, IMO.
Another great addition & video of the camper. Are you sure you don't want to tackle my camper? You can't blame a girl for trying.... lol....
You be safe camping in the wild. Please watch your 2 girls closely while camping. There's things out there in the boonies that people don't want to believe. But I know you will protect your girls. Do you take a gun when you camp? I sure do. There's wild hogs out there that will do you harm & big snakes that give me the willies.
Be safe, have fun & enjoy that little girl as long as you can. They sure grow up fast,
Chris from Missouri
Thanks for checking it out Chris! I agree about the trim.... Just adds a nice crispness to everything! As for this trip, right now I’m alone, on an archery hunt. But the girls will be coming up in a couple days.
As for a taking protection... sure do😉. I think the wilds are pretty safe for the most part but I think I know what you’re talking about... I’ve heard some podcasts talk about some of that kinda stuff😬
And for your camper.... I wish I could but I got orders from my wife that this one needs to be totally done very soon... 2 more projects!!! 😉🤞
Aluminumtrimonomics... your travel trailer just got better :-)
Aluminumtrimonomics!!!! Love it😂👍👍👍
Great job! Love the “Joe finish” again 😁.
I'm gonna have to make one of these for myself! lol great vid as always Joe, keep em comin 🍻
Dagnabit Joe...
I went to Home Depot to pick up some of those aluminium "L" brackets and they said you already got them all!!
But he then said "I do have these here "7" brackets but they are double the price...I shook my head but got the entire stock.
I don't want you going out there and getting all those too!
So as much as I love my Home Depot... I’d recommend going to a metal dealer for things like the aluminum and steel. It’ll save you a ton😀👍
@@homesteadonomics Dude...I was joking! reread the 2nd part :)
@@gregorythomas333 😂👍
Dude! It turned out amazing! Awesome job!
Was that a Mexican Coke? I used to fill coolers with those back in the day. Real sugar in those. 😁
That slide out shelf is amazing! Fantastic work as always. 🙏
Mexican Cokes are the BEST!!!!! They still make them the right way.... sadly our cokes here are all HFCS filled nowadays... although I still indulge those too🤦♂️😂
That’s awesome great job
Your work is so well thought out and executed. Thank you for documenting all this!
GOOD JOB IT'S AMAZING
Nice & Neatly done
Enjoy N. AZ, it is getting code.
I want to travel to Geere soon.
Oh yes, it will be really cold for this desert rat🥶
Nice work - love it. Drinking Coke?? should be a very Cold Beer. LOL - All the best from Australia :)
I've been waiting so long for this lol glad to see it come together so well
Well I’m glad you’ve been following this build! I’ve got two more big projects and then a couple videos answering all the questions about the details of everything in the trailer... things I didn’t cover in the build videos. And then likely there will always be little Modification videos as well as our camping videos... so I guess in that sense the trailer build won’t really end anytime soon😂👍
Nice.
Thank you Matt!
Another great video. I was excited at the beginning of this, it looked like you picked up a new sponsor but sadly, Coco Cola was just product placement. As with any project that you love, it will never be ‘DONE’. You will always find something that can be added or improved. Is the next trip a bow hunting trip or is the family camping out for Thanksgiving and going to put that stove through it’s paces? Thanks again for sharing and have a great trip!
Thank you Thom! Nope, no new sponsor... I’m quite sure I’m way to small time for Coca Cola to want anything to do with me....haha... but I do love the bottled cokes! Besides, if they gave me a free supply of cokes then my post holiday weight loss plan that much harder😂😂
As for the next trip... yep, it’s gonna be another bow hunting trip. I know some folks get all weird about that stuff so I just say camping so as not to offend....haha. But I use a traditional recurve so the odds are greatly in their favor😉
It’ll be up in the 8-10,000’ range so it’ll be cooold for this desert rat🥶
Love it!
Thank you!
Niice build on the kitchen!
I'm going to say "great job" now, before watching the video cuz I've been waiting and BAM you snuck it in and now 186 thumbs up...I am late to the party - again! :) But since I saw it in "real life" I know the video will be amazing!!! :)
You are literally a part of the stove lighting scene... “mom, hold that thought for about 10 seconds while I film this” 😂👍
Awesome stuff
Solid build, the only thing I would have changed is the bottle opener not so close to the trailer opening, more for clearance and stretching way over to get at it.
*so nice.* the only thing i might add is epoxy and poly over all the wood before putting the trim/etc on...then it could be left out in rain and sun no problem.
An epoxy finish would be really perfect for this kinda exposed stuff.... I may just need to do some refinishing😉👍
AWESOME job! I've been building furniture and cabinets for over 50 years as an occupation, and gotta say that is one of the slickest ideas/projects I have seen in years! One question, where did you get the door that enclosed the slide out kitchen?
Well thank you so much! That means a lot coming from a pro👍😀🙏. As for the door it slides out of... I got it used on eBay under the title of ‘rv storage access door’
Has anyone told you that you were amazing today? No, well I’ll be the first. Your amazing and I love watching your videos. Thanks for the upload
Great job & very innovative as always!
I do see one booboo... I think you're going to find that your lighter is either going to bounce out from the vibrations & bumps of the road, or it's going to slide forward & out when you hit the brakes.
It actually is a pretty snug fit. But I can see where that could happen. But, with me having it up camping right now, I can say that when I pulled it out.... it was still in place. But, that was almost completely on paved roads. When we do our summer camping trips in the white mountains we drive on probably 30+ miles if I paved roads, so that will likely be an issue. So I’m already thinking of a quick little mod that might help that a bit😀👍
Very nice!
Good video. I got some ideas for my outdoor kitchen I am redoing.. A suggestion....Instead of covering the pocket holes with a sheet of ply....you could put a little glue in the pocket hole, then drive a short piece of 3/8" dowel in. Once the glue dries cut the dowel off with a multitool or flush cutting saw and sand....they almost disappear.
Hi!
I had seen all of videos, and had ask you anytime when it was about camping - when the tent, sunblind or something? Now I just wait for it.
Where I live it's just an aluminium profile on side of trailer (glue or/and screws) and much of sewing... ;-)
Amazing 😍
Thank you!
Run a hose to your stove and leave it connected.
At the other end of the hose you can run a 20lbs bottle or get a 1 lbs bottle adapter. You could then run either size.
SWEET!
Quality bragging rights earned, Joe.
How much time did you put into planning this?
Are you going to weld/fabricate a custom "Homesteadonomics" utensil set that fits inside the lid?-KJ
I put a couple weeks thinking on and off about it. But it’s been on my mind for months so technically I’ve been thinking about it for way longer.... haha. But I will say you have sparked my interest in making a custom set of grilling tools now. Perhaps a spatula, spoon and some tongs🤔. And maybe I could get one of those logo brands made to stamp the handles.... hmmm I’m liking it!
If I do it you will need to remind me to give you credit.... which I absolutely will😀👍 thank you!!
@@homesteadonomics I figured a bit of OCD went into the planning. :-)
Thank you but I'm not worried about Kudos. I get joy from seeing imagination reach fruition. I used to build houses but am too busy now. I miss using My tools so I grab an occasional peek at others using theirs. ;-)
I did wonder - - is that last screen shot a hint that you participating in "No Shave November"? I recall you saying Mrs. Homesteadonomics doesn't like beards but fighting cancer is a good cause.
If I could throw another idea out there - - Is it possible to make a wood-burning stamp that attaches to your welder or other way to heat a metal plate? I was thinking a metal plate with raised "Homesteadonomics" that could burn a stamp in wood. Like branding iron for cattle. I'm sure you wouldn't want to start a fire - in the desert - every time you wanted to "brand" your logo in something.-KJ
The aluminum trim against the golden oak stain looks very lovely. What a difference that trim makes, such a finished look. Your videos are a very good guide and I am enjoying them immensely. You have so many skills. This is a great slide out kitchen.
Please know that the music was a huge annoyance and hurt my ears. It is unnecessary in every video. DIY, demo, tour, cooking, and wildlife music should never have music. It ruins them. My ears are literally hurting from that electronic sound. Natural sounds are so soothing. I guarantee that if you removed all music, your subscriber and viewing list would increase a lot.
For the faucet, do you know those collapsible bowls? Maybe one of those could be a basin in the top box?
Maybe the faucet itself could be on the end of the inner box right by where the gas connects?
You could have a hatch on the surface to raise it up when it is extended; a bit like on those old foot-powered sewing machines.
Yes, I do know of those and I think it’s a great idea! I may just have to incorporate something like that... thank you😀🙏
Great!!
Thank you Jon!
That’s a great set up thank u
Nice video
Thank you Jimmy!
How about a second set of door glides in the section you might wedge a stick in? One one bottom as shown, another 1inch higher? I think this is a great job you are doing
That’s a really great idea! I think that would certainly be better than my crud ‘stick’ wedge/shim solution.😀👍
So, you have to pull the kitchen out when ever you want a bottle of coke? Just kidding. As usual, a wise and useful build.
Haha.... it’ll keep my consumption down a bit😂👍
So what did this whole camper cost you to build?? Great job .
