Title: Outback Sturt kitchen
Post by: moeite on January 26, 2024, 01:09:15 PM: Hi all,
We have an old (2004) Outback Sturt camper which is a little ripper apart from the kitchen. It's made of particle board and weighs about 23 metric tons and needs two people to get it slid out and set up. The weight of the kitchen needs to be supported while it is slid out to its fullest extent until its legs are put down and again the weight needs to be supported while the legs are folded up and the kitchen is more than halfway to being stowed.

What I'm after is a new LIGHT, one person operation kitchen. Does anyone have any ideas about where such a beast can be sourced? The newer models of the Sturt have a stainless or aluminium kitchen and are MUCH lighter and would be the sort of thing I'm looking for. Needless to say I'm very much against paying a kings ransom for another kitchen.

I made my own 2.1m sliders from 25mm tube with a slot cut into it and skateboard bearings with spacers when i replaced the kitchen in my old camper trailer.
