Rainbassador galley 3.0

Postby rainjer » Sat Aug 09, 2008 5:03 pm

After spending 13 day camping and cooking in my teardrop on our IRG trip, I have decided to revamp the galley again. I discovered it did not work very well.

So after consulting teardrop master builder & all around great guy, Doug Hodder, this is what I have come up width.

I will have 2 slide outs, a cooler tray with storge for Coleman fuel, the coffee pot & my lantern. The other one will hold the pots in a big drawer & a storage box behind the stove for the cooking utensils. Above the stove I may put a shelf for my folding dish drainer & maybe a knife holder for a chef's knife & some steak knives. I am still trying to figure out where to put the silverware. I have a couple ideas for that.

The first 2 are my prelimanary design.

This will be my final design.

Design number 72 will be just about right. ;)

Psssst: I don't think there actually is a "final design."

Well, they say you get more of the value out of a kitchen remodel than almost any other room... :lol:

With a 4-foot-wide tear, I can see where working between the stove and cooler could get a little cramped. Just to throw a little doubt into your mind, though...seems like if you took out the drawers and turned the cooler as you plan, but leave the stove as-is, you'd have more convenient access to the countertop for ingredients and utensils while you're cooking, and just move a little to pull out the cooler if you need something.

Of course, the kitchen in my house is about the size of a large teardrop galley...it'd be just about how I cook normally. ;)

The stove was the bigger problem of the 2. I kept banging my shin on the trailer while cooking and I kept hitting my hand on the counter while pumping up the stove. The box behind the stove on the stove slideout will hold all of my cooking utencils. I am going to take the legs off the stove and and make some brackets to bolt it in place. I will put aluminum on the counter below the stove & it will be 1/4" above the surface.

I was using the top of the cooler as a work surface instead of the counter while on the trip. I will most likely countinue with this configuration.

I added the pullout above the cooler:

BTW, I did not draw the open stove, the knife block or the coffee pot. I did draw everything else. This is the first time I have ever used Sketchup. I am starting to figure it out.

Looks good Jeremy... It appears to be more user friendly that your current setup... Nice cad work
