Custom Retractable Kitchens for Serious Overlanders

We build retractable kitchens because we got tired of spending hours packing and unpacking boxes every time we wanted to cook a decent meal on the trail. When you're setting up camp after a long day navigating challenging terrain, you want an overlanding kitchen that works efficiently, not one that creates more work. At Talsit Enterprises, our team has spent years developing the ultimate overland kitchen setup, built from our own experiences on the road.

Our "Engineering Clarity" approach comes from years of learning what really matters in the field. Every retractable kitchen we build reflects lessons learned from real adventures, where you discover that fancy gadgets break and simple, robust design wins every time. We understand that overland stoves and kitchen systems need to be as reliable as your truck because when you're miles from the nearest town, your gear becomes critical infrastructure.

Retractable Kitchen Models

The Dover Overland Kitchen System

The Dover represents our largest retractable kitchen solution, measuring 18"x18"x60" when deployed. This overlanding kitchen comes equipped with a substantial 22" 2-burner Partner Steel overland stove powered by a 5lb propane tank. The overland drawer system includes two storage drawers plus an additional storage box for organizing gear efficiently.

What makes this retractable kitchen special is the complete water system featuring an 8-gallon fresh water tank with an optional filter, plus an in-tank water pump and on-demand faucet. The collapsible swing-over sink maximizes workspace while the slide-out cutting board provides additional prep area. The entire overlanding drawer system is completely sealed from dust and debris—a feature we developed after too many meals seasoned with trail dust.

The Dover includes a 12-volt battery system with a charger and USB charge ports, keeping your devices powered during extended trips. The pull-out storage box provides additional organization, while the system can be configured for right or left-hand use depending on your vehicle setup.

The Minerva Compact Retractable Kitchen

For overlanders who need efficiency in a smaller package, the Minerva measures 18"x18"x30" and focuses on essential functionality. This compact overland kitchen features a 9" single burner Partner Steel overland stove with 5lb propane tank, perfect for solo travelers or couples who prioritize space efficiency.

The Minerva's overland drawer system includes a 5-gallon fresh water tank with an in-tank water pump and an on-demand faucet. The collapsible swing-over sink maintains full functionality while the pull-out storage box keeps essentials organized. Under-tray LED lighting illuminates your workspace during early morning or evening meal prep.

Like the Dover, the Minerva features complete dust sealing and all-aluminum construction. The 12-volt battery system with charger and USB ports ensures reliable power, while the configurable design accommodates both right and left-hand vehicle configurations.

Overlanding Drawer System Innovation

Our retractable kitchen designs evolved from our own frustration with traditional camp kitchen setups. The drawer system approach means everything has a designated place and folds up completely for travel.

The sealed construction prevents road dust and debris from contaminating your cooking supplies, while the simple pull-out deployment means you can have a fully functional kitchen ready in minutes, not hours. Each overland drawer system includes integrated water supply, power systems, and LP gas for the best overland stove setup.
