Light weight kitchen fittings

Horse,

Have a look at the Whitworths website whitworths.com.au

They sell a lot of marine gear, and would have all the stuff you need. They're prices don't seem too bad either. Or one of the caravan supply places would be helpful too.

Not sure how well this fits your requirements. It is certainly lightweight.

very lightwieght sink

You might be getting carried away with the term "light weight"...... even if you went for "heavy weight" it may only be 3-5Kg's difference ..... not much in the scheme of things.

There are two types of light weight...... cheap and expensive, cheap don'r last long and expensive may be an overkill for little gain.

A bit of topic..... my motorbike has a titanium exhaust system..... the bike weights 180Kg and the titanium exhaust is 3Kg's less then an aluminium/stainless exhaust but cost 5 times the amount, it makes very little difference except on a race track where we are splitting 10's of a second.

As for your stove burning hot..... all stoves burn hot!, what changes is the output.... do you want to boil 1lt or 25lt's of water and do you want to boil it in 3 minutes or 20..... the more output the more gas it will use requiring more to be carried adding to weight.

A good indication of output is how much gas it uses at maximum burn.

as has been mentioned, have a look at the marine suppliers such as whitworths, bias and some of the smaller chandlers.

The boating market is far more competitive than the caravan market, and far more weight concious.

Say the word "caravan" and they think you know nothing and have plenty of money to spend......

Hell lots of caravan interiours are still MDF..hardly light weight.

You are wise to consider weight.....it is very easy to piss a heap of GCM down the drain if you are not carefull.

The other thing to look at is some of the light weight materials and methods the boaties are into.
Just being a little carefull about the plywood you make your cabinets out of can halve their weight over the most commonly available plywwod and 1/4 the weight of the lightest adequate MDF.

The other thing to consider is do you or don't you install astove or cook top permanently.

As soon as you install you start talking gas tickets and inspections.

If you simply make provision for a portable stove, you can take it out side and no compliance issues.

cheers

I'd be bolting one of these to the float, then spending the 3 weeks I would have spent stuffing about - drinking beer - ;)

41 k.g. not super light, but not about to fall apart either.

A hot, simple reliable stove is the Coleman dual fuel stuff. Store it underneath and no gas to worry about carrying.
