Is this a specific SMB Layout or custom? I don't see that info

Looks custom.

Generally, I agree.

But when it's cold in the morning, it's damn nice to make a pot of coffee without stepping outside the van!

Or when it's pouring rain at night, it's nice to make some pasta without going outside!

+2 here for "Go ahead, cook inside the van!"

Last summer, I think on a particularly cold evening, I had to be arm-wrestled into letting someone cook a curry dish on the stove inside the van. But I fought it all the way.....was convinced that the well-preserved original SMB aqua-teal vintage 1990's upholstery would afterward-and-forever smell of a spice bazaar in Delhi....

Turns out I was wrong!
With the penthouse roof up (and a good selection of screen windows opened up), the curry mojo lofts outside and away on the breeze. No residual "curry-air-freshener-scent" whatsoever. Van still smells like.......20-year-old camper-van

And man, there really is no substitute for firing up a pot of coffee (or tea) on the in-the-van stove, first thing, on a chilly morning. Can a van possibly be more cozy? I think not.

With a portable butane powered stove.....and others like the partner stoves...you can cook outside or inside...your choice. ....and less $$ than a built-in.
