Sounds like the easiest solution would be a drivers side middle door on
hinges instead of sliding, with the kitchen bolted into it so you swing it
out and stand on the ground when prepairing your food instead of inside the
bus ..
Maybe with an awning on top for sun/rain protection

Somewhere I�ve seen something like it  but then it was in the rear, you
popped the rear hatch open and had the kitchen inside.
It would probably keep the interior odour free but must be a PITA when the
weather is bad - not to mention the lack of that first morning cup of coffee
to wake you up when you�re still in the sleepingbag

I also think it must have been in something else than a Vanagon, most things
will be out of reach for anyone but Shaq O�Neil (sp?) on top of the engine
:-)
