In any camper, the most frequently used areas are the kitchen, fridge and pantry. Let’s face it, we visit these two areas at least three times a day. Whether it be cooking a hotpot, topping up on liquid refreshments, or raiding the biscuit barrel, we need to have instant access and ease of use. We need unrestricted access, and space for at least two people to work without stepping on one another’s toes.
Over the past fifteen years, the Campomatic kitchen and pantry has evolved into the extremely functional design that we have today. Here are just a few reasons why we believe the Campomatic kitchen and pantry to be the most functional and user-friendly of all:

• The whole kitchen unit is incorporated into one compact drawer.
• The kitchen is fully dust-sealed, so it is clean and ready to use once opened
• The gas and water lines are permanently connected, eliminating any time-consuming and fiddly connecting of lines.
• It is made of stainless steel, thereby easy to clean, and easy to keep clean.
• The stove is well away from any canvas, so you won’t stain your canvas with oil, pasta sauce etc. (stains cannot be removed from canvas).
• The stove is a safe distance away from any canvas, eliminating the risk of fire.
• The stove is a safe distance away from gas bottles and jerry cans.
• Because the kitchen is perpendicular to the camper in the opened position, one can work at the stove from three sides, and at the sink from two sides. So, two or more people can work at the kitchen at the same time.
• The removable stove windshield can be positioned in a way to allow unrestricted use of all four burners at the one time.
• There is ample storage space for pots, pans, large utensils, cutlery (a separate cutlery drawer), plates, cups, spices, tinned foods etc., thereby freeing up the pantry (Wedge Box) for other essentials/fridge etc.

• Pantry access is from the side, so you don’t have to dig deep to get to the Vegemite.
• Side access means that you don’t have to lean over a dirty box to get at things.
• Because the access doors fold down, the boat on top of the camper doesn’t need to be unloaded to get to the storage areas in the Wedge Box.
• Because of the position of the kitchen, the boat doesn’t need to be unloaded to boil the kettle at lunchtime.
• The wedge shape of the front storage box (Wedge Box), along with checker plating on the doors, deflect stones away from the camper, thereby eliminating the need for a stone mesh or stone guard.
• The wedge shape of the box allows a greater turning circle.
• The Wedge Box is constructed of 4mm. aluminium (lighter than steel), to reduce the weight and strain on your tow vehicle, and to stay within your vehicle’s legal tow ball weight.
• The Wedge Box is aerodynamic, meaning less wind resistance, improved handling and improved fuel consumption.
• The annexe area is 8ft around the kitchen which gives plenty of space for walking around and staying under cover.

All Campomatic kitchens have a gas approved manual valve fitted to the top of the stove drawer, that will not allow the drawer to be closed unless the valve is turned off. This is a safety requirement that will prevent users from mistakenly leaving the gas turned on when closing the kitchen. Also, all Campomatic stoves have a flame failure device fitted to the gas stove and grill, which automatically stops the flow of gas to the burners should the flame be extinguished. We believe that the quality of our gas supply system combined with the flame failure device and gas isolation system provides a level of safety that you can rely on.

Many a great meal has been created in the Campomatic kitchen, and we know a Barra or two. We hope that you can one day enjoy it to.
