Thanks Claude, that's a good idea. It's a work in progress any weekend that I'm home and have a few hours. There are many things that aren't completely finished.
Continued....My cabinet ideas are still pretty fluid but after kicking my chest refrigerator around for awhile I decided i really was going to be happier with a front door model. I think the chest type are more efficient but I stuff this van full of cargo in a hurry sometimes and need to maximize space and efficiency inside. Also, I don't buy food at all on the road if I can help it. I take pre-made things or make quick meals as I go. I'm not at all a fast food fan. For that reason I like a big refrigerator. I dropped by Truckfridge in Georgetown Ky to pick up the perfect tool for the job, a T130 like I put in my SMB. My jaw dropped when they told me they were sold out and on back order for several months. MONTHS? I was about head out when I thought to ask if he'd sell me the demo model off the floor. He was happy to and I got a nice discount.
A huge advantage of the Transit is square walls, or at least almost perfectly square. It makes building low cabinets a breeze.
Another goal for this tiny galley was a simple plumbing system. After rehabbing a Vanagon Westfalia this past year I knew just what would work. The in-tank submersible pump with on/off switch in the handle used on Westy's is ideal. Cold water is all I need. I went with a Dometic/SMEV combination sink/stove (A hob, the lads call it) and built the cabinet around a 7 gallon Aquatainer for fresh water.

To achieve my goal of a 4x8' cargo space (2 standard pallets) and also to be able to pop the jumpseats in factory track locations and still have foot space for the kids I recessed the Aquatainer in to the wall. Above that recess I have 2awg run through a 100 amp breaker from my isolator and used an old section of plastic pipe for a wire run for all future wiring. It's not one of those picture perfect wiring layouts. I can do those but rarely do if it's going to be hidden.

Gray water drain open to ground below. All I need need. A bucket under it works for me on the seldom occasions I'm in an actual campground.

All plumbed in and shored up enough to make that first cup of coffee:

This is very temporary. All cabinetry will be pulled back apart for molding and stain. I still haven't decided on a countertop material yet. I had thought of butcher block. I'll finalize that eventually. For now it's usable.
