      A plastic hanger can be snipped in the middle of the long part and wear a roll of paper towels like earphones. Then hang the whole thing anywhere by the hook.

    Neat idea... I've seen people use the big rolling tool chests as kitchen cabinets in skoolies... this is great for smaller campers. A minor suggestion... use a circular saw to cut a groove in the back side of those cutting board pieces that match up with the lip at the front and back where the lid closes, It will make them less likely to slide around while cooking.

      Great idea I would do a few things differently like get some magnetic hooks to hang utensils on and would cut the chopping boards differently to make a better fit also cut grooves in the underside to stop them sliding you could use some S hooks to hang stuff on too but a great concept

    I too,have my kitchen in a metal toolbox! My toolbox stands 2 1/2 feet × 2 ft wide. It doesn't have drawers, but the door swings open and has a little shelf inside. I took off the small wheels, put toolbox on its side and the door opens flat so that I can it use as a prep space/cutting board. The stove area is wide enough inside, and I can cook in all kinds of wind. I don't take it out of the back of my suv. I open the hatch door, stand up, and cook. No one walking by would know what I was doing back there if it didn't smell like a restaurant (so I've been told😊).

    I have the same thing in my 6x12 cargo trailer except it is the much larger one (floor to counter height) and is built in under the counter. It's my favorite part of the build because it's so functional, holds a lot, is durable, easy to keep organized, and has one lock to keep all the drawers closed when moving. If I did another build, I would use one again.

That way you can move wbpverything to clean , relocate, etc. plus the drawer slides can withstand heavy loads and they run smooth. Tops can be made out of whatever material you desire, wood, tile, marble. She thought I was crazy. Then she said you would do it if you were a bachelor. I said yes I would.👍👍👍✌🏻🇺🇸🙏🏽😎

    I took a free stainless steel grill with one burner on the side with lid closer. Burner still works so I keep it in. I had a marble slab cut ,added four brackets inside and placed the marble where the grill was. It has a double door cabinet under it. I placed a plywood on the bottom. I store my pots. I got tired of the stainless top / open and closed/ so I removed it and placed it out side ( making a fire oven. But I love my roll away cutting board island. This is a cool ideal with the tool cabinet.

    Thank you for a great video. We ended up purchasing a Roto Cast Chuck Box that was similar to the old plywood Scout patrol kitchens, but weighed 1/3 what a patrol box weighs empty. It was pricey but going on 10 years old and it is still in near new shape. It is made by York now and still a US manufactured product so the carbon footprint is smaller for new. I like that it s plastic so it can be left outside on a table at camp and closed up it is water tight. Roto Cast plastic dose not get hell hot or frost bite cold either. This is not important to fair weather campers, but for me is important. My tool boxes all have tools in them... It is Called The Chuckbox Camp Kitchen. It has fit even in the Jeep Patriot camper setup. I love the portability of these types Kitchen boxes. I like that one person can take it to a picnic table at a rest area while cross country or state traveling. I love your setup because you reused an item you already had, and it takes up very little space. Thank you again for the video. Safe travels.

    You are really thinking outside the box here. Good idea.
    I am sure I have old tool box or find a thrift store or swap meet.

    Take a box knife and put a small slit in the air bubbles to smooth them out.

    Great idea. For me the cost of the butane is not efficient or price effective for long time spent in the backcountry for me. Utilize propane when I have too, but prefer open fire cooking. Doesn't cost anything but time and effort.
