I was just looking at your plans, which are awesome, but I was thinking, if you took that cooktop and turned it 90 degrees, you could bring the sink closer to it and gain some counter. Or if you just pushed it back towards the van wall, you would gain that counter space that is now between the cooktop and the wall, space that is unusable for food prep when the stove is lit. Same with the sink. Move it towards the wall.
Or not,

Thanks Eric,

I've seen people install them flipped 90 degrees like that, with the knobs on the side, when I choose the exact model of the stove, before cutting out the counter top I will use a full size template to see what it really looks like, scaled drawings are ok to plan things in advance but I guess you always have to back check things at a real life scale.

For now I drew it in front with a 9" gap in the back because I was afraid of the heat coming from the burners going on the back wall... even though I would install a stainless steel backing.
