Hi folks!<br><br>Just checking in. I have been lurking because I'm facinated by Boondocking and low cost travel.<br><br>I'm delighted to help out if I can. I have some experience in commercial H.V.A.C. so ac, heat, electrical and plumbing are areas I have a little idea about... just not in stealth campers!<br><br>Elseanno<br><br>

<br><br>Hey Bob,<br><br>I'd like to put together a portable kitchen that fits on a hitch carrier in the near future, say less than a year. The idea being that you can picnic, camp or travel with all the kitchen stuff ready to go at a moment's notice. (I hate packing gear, I keep the saddlebags on my motorcycle packed except for clothes) Think of it like a Teardrop kitchen without the teardrop.<br><br>Longer term, I have some other ideas that maybe I'll share as they coalesce.<br><br>Thanks,<br><br>Elseanno<br>stude53 said:

<FONT size=3>Hey, Elseanno</FONT><br><FONT size=3></FONT> <br><FONT size=3>Vonu has a good point. There are good DIY plans for hitch-mounted kitchens, as well as ones already manufactured and ready for sale. Google is your friend. Try "hitch-mounted camp kitchens" as a search key.</FONT><br><FONT size=3></FONT> <br><FONT size=3>Bob</FONT><br>
Good questions, guys.<br><br>I just re-googled hitch mounted kitchens. The last time I saw Car Top Campers design it was still a prototype. They (or someone with a similar name) did have an enormous wooden one with lot's of great ideas that seemed to not quite gel. I think it was also on hitch-kitchen.com or something similar.<br><br>$995 is still a little steep for me. I think I can build something that suits me for about half.<br><br>Thanks for your interest,<br><br>Elseanno<br><br>
