Van Kitchen Counter & Hanging Table
All products are self-developed, personally used by us, and 100% practical.
Since 2016, our bus essentials are locally manufactured in Northern Germany. My word on it 🤝
The VANZEIT ® Difference?
We think different.
Instead of average, with us, you get creative, practical, and durable setups from original ideas.
Our own camping experience is reflected in the attention to detail – and you’ll feel it in every use.
Trust in expertise for your relaxed VANZEIT ®!
🕐 New Product Ideas
A missing coat hook in our first California led to my invention of the well-known hooks for the pop-up roof, our ABHÄNG.
Why drill into your bus? From my incomprehension of this and the limited headroom under the market roof cabinets, our EINFACH was born.
Every idea matures between my own ears, from actual need and missing solutions.
🕑 Thoughtful Product Design
Initial sketches turn into prototypes made of cardboard.
Once I'm convinced, I construct it using CAD, based on the already specific dimensions.
The design is then implemented and tested with 3D printing, on the sewing machine, or in the workshop.
In the refinement process, I remove unnecessary parts from the design.
🕒Tested in Camping Life
Nicole and I take new accessories on tour directly with our bumblebee (aka T6 California Beach).
Is a contour not perfect, or is a feature not used while camping?
If so, it gets adjusted and tested again. And possibly again...
Only what convinces us over a season and proves its value gets produced.
🕓 Made in Northern Germany
We found our production partners within a few kilometers of us.
This guarantees short distances and quick, personal agreements by handshake.
Small series' production ensures fast adjustments, even with your suggestions.

Organization with a system relaxes. Stuffing was yesterday, today you can safely stow your equipment - and find it again tomorrow.
Your new LIEBLINGSPLATZ?
The pretty great kitchen counter for VW California and other campervans is definitely ours.
Outside, fully unfolded and simply attached to the sliding door, it adds a practical surface for storage or a kitchen unit.
Inside, the van counter creates extra space at the table as a rather not so "mini" kitchen ;)
Whether for bread and rolls, for the cooker and coffee, for the hot or cold buffet, as a cali counter ... there is more space on the camping table and eating together is much more relaxed. The mini kitchen is made of high-quality lightweight board. The chamfered edge keeps the table permanently balanced against the rebate in the sliding door.
The lacquer is protected by rubber buffers embedded in the sides of the extremely stable and resistant real wood top.
The splash and wind protection available as an accessory helps you cook quickly even when it's blowing and protects the vehicle paintwork from splashes, e.g. when frying.
All BUSSTOFF® minikitchens can also be left hanging with the sliding door closed; practical for everyday use, by campers for campers.
The mini kitchen variants
Variant I: Minikitchen VW California Beach
The VW T6.1 comes with it - the mini kitchen. Unfortunately, it is permanently installed in the interior panelling and takes up more space than it creates.
With LIEBLINGSPLATZ comes a minikitchen for all VW California Beach and Beach Tour, whether T6.1, T6 or T5 and for inside AND outside with extra space.
At full depth, it can replace the camping table in the door. This saves you the fiddly job of lifting it out and leaves you plenty of space underneath and in front of it, e.g. to enjoy the coffee or tea you have just made on the now free seats next to it.
No door needs to be opened and the heat stays inside - very practical when it's not so cosy outside and it saves energy!
The side of the table hung on the roller blind guides is recessed so that the sliding window remains open. This allows cooking vapours to escape easily to the outside.
Folded to half its depth, the bus fabric table provides a practical shelf for books, cups, the gas or spirit cooker, etc. The minikitchen is held in place by two of our shatterproof ABHÄNG cali hooks; they are included in this version.
Both "half" folded and in full depth of 40 x 100 cm there is enough distance to the table rail in the VW California Beach. This way, the new LIEBLINGSPLATZ above can serve as additional storage for spreads and other things, leaving more space on the table and for eating and living together in the bus. Feel at home in the bus!
Quickly folded in half, it can be placed in the window, fixed in the roller blind guide on the left and right, and thus waits securely for its next use on your holiday on the driver's or passenger's side, in the sliding door or in the fixed window. The roller blind can still be used for darkening and closes light-tight and flush.
Fastened in this way, the camping table also serves as a burglar alarm. Simply pushing open the sliding window to which you attach the table in your California Beach or Beach Tour, Comfortline, Coast or Ocean is prevented.
Variant II: Mini-kitchen Universal
We love cooking together in the campervan. So the kitchenette is a must-have on tour!
Attached to the wide straps, this variant gives you about 80 x 40 cm of additional space outside on your campervan.
You can use the extra space on the counter for food preparation. LIEBLINGSPLATZ also fits perfectly as a simple additional surface to have more space at the actual camping table and can be set up with no fuss at all.
For the journey and on the road, the LIEBLINGSPLATZ table is very small and, at just 40 x 40 x 3 cm, even fits in the rear hatch and between the camping chairs of the VW California. In other campervans, the compact dimensions and just approx. 2 kg light weight also quickly find their place. The carrying straps are simply rolled up and stowed away.
Always with you: PACURS!
A kitchen, whether mini or large, needs compartments for spices, cutlery and other items. That's why we invented PACURS*.
With the Plug-And-Camp accessories, you can use the same camping accessories indoors as outdoors, and they're weatherproof.
Your LIEBLINGSPLATZ comes with the right cut-outs for several Plug-And-Camp extensions.
The scope of delivery includes a table and two straps with two hooks for attachment.
Found your LIEBLINGSPLATZ?!
Not? Well, I'll be! ;)
Maybe the "little brother", our Calicounter SPIELPLATZ is something ...
