You’ve all heard the line before: “It’s got everything but the kitchen sink.” Well, at ARB, we like to consider ourselves a solutions-based business, so here it is, the fully on-board, integrated and perfectly practical ARB Slide Kitchen, complete with sink. While contained within an ARB modular drawer frame, the Slide Kitchen is not a drawer but a complete, stainless steel, slide-out kitchen with bench space, a three-burner cooktop, kitchen sink and its very own utensils drawer. While some 4WD accessories are downright practical, others are downright cool. What an awesome product to have in the back of your tourer!
As 4WDers, we love exploring but the setting up and packing up parts are inconveniences that get in the way of even more time for exploring and relaxing. Having a fully contained kitchen that you can quite literally slide out of the back of your 4WD (and in seconds) is a huge convenience. From the campsite to the worksite, from roadside to trackside (and who could overlook the riverside), just imagine landing a nice fresh catch straight onto the pan out the back of your 4WD. The ARB Slide Kitchen will seriously transform your dual-cab tub.
The ARB Slide Kitchen has been designed specifically to be integrated with existing or future ARB drawer installations. The new modular unit is built to the same dimensions of our existing full height dual-cab modular drawer profile. The Slide Kitchen slots right in and can be accompanied by any
of ARB’s dual-cab roller, mid-height or full-height drawers, and finished off with existing vehicle-specific side panels. Due to the length required, the Slide Kitchen is only available in our 1,355-millimetre deep dual-cab drawers, suitable for back-of-tub applications. That said, of course, the Slide Kitchen can be installed independent of any other drawer as a stand-alone unit for use in custom builds such as wagons, vans, camping canopies and camper trailers.
Accessing the kitchen is no different to opening any 4WD drawer; you simply pull the mechanical latch and roll the 1,250-millimetre stainless steel bench out. Once fully extended, the bench locks into place and you can operate the kitchen as a simple bench top with drawer or you can release the swing-away stove and sink by lifting the red locking tab. The three-burner gas stove and sink holder swing out to the left and are locked into place with a red latch. From here you might start to notice a theme; all the locking and unlocking components are highlighted in red to help guide the user through the set-up and pack-up steps.
Once the stove is locked into place, you can fold down the sink holder and insert the 12-litre collapsible silicone sink. The whole kitchen is easily set up or packed up in under 30 seconds. First and foremost, the Slide Kitchen is designed for practicality and convenience. The main stainless steel bench top has a 30-kilogram max limit, while the swing away stove and sink can handle 20-kilograms including water in the sink, cookware and food. The total capacity of weight added to the slide must not exceed 50-kilograms.
