We've just recently returned from a UK-Morocco trip in our 110, fitted out in a similar way to how you plan to do yours. Blog is on this site :[URL="http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/tstories/one-ten-to-tan-tan/"]
We debated using white gas (Coleman fuel) in our "kitchen" but as we wanted to be able to keep the cooking inside the vehicle (we live in a midge-infested area) we didn't want the hazard of the occasional "flamer" that we've experienced with petrol stoves. We opted for Camping Gaz in the end and have had no problems with this. Replacement cylinders were readily available in Morocco at a fraction of the UK price. I guess a downside is that pressure can drop a lot in cold climates - like ours - so we keep the cylinder inside the vehicle rather than in an external locker.
Most of the time, if the weather allows, we set up our Cadac grill under the Foxwing awning. Sue can do a Sunday roast on it if necessary. Another great bit of gear that packs into a "tall" Wolf box.
The interior is fitted out using 12mm plywood which flexes enough that nothing falls apart. We also used 2 aluminium containers that airlines store their pre-prepared meals in as cupboards, and they are excellent if you can find them. We remove the 2nd row seats and that makes space for a 2-person sleeping area so we can play like a motorhome if we need to.
Good luck with your project. We're on our 4th "prototype" and constantly refining the idea - great fun.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
