I did mine out of eco board. Its similar to white board ,what they use for kitchens but it is half the weight and waterproof. My friend is a kitchen/cabinet maker so it was recommended and built by him.

Plans shlams.... Just gunna wing it. It will be a pullout kitchen from under the bed the hinges into an L shape. Hope to start next week when airshow season is over...

I like my kitchen inside myself as the bugs are outside depending on where you go...

I am ok with no plans....I seem to roll that way....

Get that 350 in there already and light them up :)

Let me know if you fly north vancouver island...

For my actual sleeping platform I used 3/4" ply, you can have less supports underneath that way.

Baltic birch plywood , it comes in 5'x5' sheets , has very thin consistent veneers of hardwood and no voids, so you can use thinner sheets.

Where do you get that? Sounds perfect for some other projects.

Most lumber yards carry it around here, if you are in a Rona/Home Despot dominated region try looking under hardwoods in the yellow pages. Windsor Plywood carries it as well. A 12 mm sheet should run around $45.
The 5' size is nice for spanning across the van without joins.
