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 ...

I would vote for two drawers. Silverware and knives and maybe some odd utensils in one, hot pads and dish cloths and dish towels and whatnot in the other, and then there's always plenty of odds and ends and whatnot to go somewhere.
Yes on the spice rack; very handy to have. I'm fortunate enough to have a nice long one, and besides seasonings I keep a recipe box, a timer, a bottle of hand soap, a tin with tea bags, and maybe a couple other things I'm forgetting at the moment there.
I would suggest a few cup hooks to hang stuff on. If your stovetop doesn't have a lighter built in, one thing that surely will be hung there is an aim-n-flame style lighter.
A shelf in at least part of the upper cabinet is good. A little ledge to keep things in place on the edge of the shelf (and the edge of the floor of the cabinet) is a grand idea.
I would suggest getting or making a cutting board with wire handles or clips or something that can fit neatly across the mouth of the sink. It will greatly increase your counter space when you don't actually need to be using the sink at the moment, and you need a cutting board of some sort anyhow.
A little hood, preferably one that vents to the outside, would be handy for the stovetop. Hood or not, definitely put a light of some sort under the upper cabinet.
I personally might leave out the soap dispenser and just stick a container of dish and/or hand soap in the spice rack. It's one less thing to get in the way on the countertop. That's more personal preference than anything.
A trash can somewhere in the general vicinity is indeed handy.
Make sure the drawers have some sort of latch (such as a gravity catch) and likewise the cabinet doors also are held shut as firmly as practical.
How are you planning on venting the water heater through the van door such that it isn't destroyed when the door is opened--or are you going to make that half of the door inoperative? (Or is this an electric only water heater?)
