If that title is meaningless to you then read on. You’ll be glad that you did.
Drifta Camping and Trailer Kitchens
Drifta is a brand name. Of a bloody awesome camping & trailer kitchen supplier.
I had never heard about Drifta kitchens before seeing an amazing kitchen in a picture for a second hand Camper Trailer that was for sale. I had to zoom in a bit to see the name of the kitchen that was branded on the end of it, and I’m so glad that I did. There was the web address www.drifta.com.au. Then the whole world of camping kitchens and storage units opened up before me.
Luke Sutton’s website is something to behold. I have never quite seen so much content about kitchens and storage, specifically for camping/trailers. I think I was glued to the website for nearly an hour, at least. Needless to say that even though we had not yet decided on a trailer (at that stage) I knew that I would be getting one of the Drifta Pull Out with Return (DPOR) kitchens. Here it is:
The Drifta Pull Out Kitchen With Return
And here is ours. The day we got it we set it all up inside the house to pack it up ready for the first camping trip, and we hadn’t event got the Trailer yet!
And not 2 hours after picking up our brand new trailer we installed the kitchen:
I cannot begin to tell you about the craftsmanship and detail that has gone into this unit. It is so well put together, so well thought out and so well finished that I would have happily paid more for it.
There are people that will say the Drifta units are more expensive than their steel import counterparts, but I disagree.This unit is extremely functional; it has a large cupboard at one end split by a shelf, 3 drawers for all the essentials (ours has all our utensils, cutlery, crockery and a bunch of ‘stuff’ that usually inhabits the second or third drawn down in any kitchen), a wash tub conveniently tucked away under the perfect space for a 3 burner stove (which Drifta also provides for an additional $70), a couple of other storage areas and then there is the extra workbench. You wouldn’t get that in you stainless steel kitchen for the same money.
I’m sold, and the quality of this product will make certain that I will be looking more closely at all the other products that Luke has available and seeing what else will fit in the Cooper XT!
