Help me design my kitchen (see pictures)
Hi everyone, I'm working on my first DIY camper conversion, using a 2010 extended Ford E250. I'm trying to plan out my kitchen area, this is where I'm at right now (see pictures) If you have ...

Mount the faucet in "normal" location, between the sink and rear wall. It looks awkward as it is on the picture.
Replace the sink with the biggest one you can, and make the counter an inch wider front to back, if you have to. People who spend a lot of time in their trailers often find that they need a decent size sink - single but big enough to put something in there. This has been discussed recently - it doesn't have to be an "RV sink".
Shelves in top cabinet are a good thing.
Drawers in bottom cabinet - not so sure. They steal precious space, dividing it into barely usable chunks. If your wife isn't in a habit of spending a lot of time in kitchen, I don't know what you would keep in small drawers - two spoons? :)... Put them in an empty bowl or a small box. It would be difficult to spend a lot of time in a kitchen that small anyway.
Same for spice rack - do you really have a dozen small bottles with spices that you need all the time all of them? It will collect dust when not in use. You are over-thinking this project. Things like towel hook, paper towel holder etc you can add later (or never).
Trash can door - yes. Think what size of trash can you'll put in there, considering the height of the door. If not installing drawers (I wouldn't), you can put a shelve above the trash can, going across to the under-sink area. And 2 tall doors or equal height - one for the trash can and upper compartment above the water pump, and one on the right side.
My suggestions are coming from semi-permanent living in RV. A weekender style is different, some things become less crucial.
I think the sink is big enough, 16"x13"x6"deep and the faucet has a high arch neck with a detachable head, I don't think I'll have any problems fitting anything under there.
When I wrote spice rack I was thinking not the biggest one and I would use it for salt, pepper, steak spices, toothpicks and one or two other.
I might buy the trash can rack that you screw behind the door and maybe gain storage space?
