Plan Your Build

Free calculators and planners to help you size, budget, and lay out your van kitchen.

Planning a van kitchen involves dozens of interconnected decisions: How much can I spend? Will my battery bank support an induction cooktop? Where does the fridge go if I also want counter space? Our free planning tools take the guesswork out of the process. Plug in your van size, budget, and cooking habits, and get personalized recommendations backed by the same data from our product reviews. No signup required — results are instant.

— Built DifferentWhy Our Tools

Most van build calculators use generic numbers pulled from spec sheets. Ours use real power measurements from our review testing (measured with a Kill A Watt meter and Victron BMV-712 battery monitor), actual street prices updated regularly, and layout data from the van kitchen setups we've documented. The recommendations adapt to your specific van model, budget tier, and power system.
