Question for Viking owners

[CJH]

My Viking seems to have a number of exposed screws on the face of the kitchen units - some with screw caps on, some with just the screw heads showing. So are these as fitted by Motorhomes International 30 years ago, or have they been tastefully added by a subsequent owner? I count 4 in the first photo and two more in the second photo. How many of these are present in an unmolested van (if there is such a thing after 30 years) and which ones would have had plastic screw caps on?

Ours has'nt got any type of screws visable on the front panels/cupboards, but someone at some point decided to have a go & replace the worktop then got totally carried away with the screws n caps.....

Thank you - even if your reply is a little disappointing! So it means a previous owner must have taken it apart and decided those additional screws were the best way to put it back together again. Oh well. I'm planning to strip it all out to replace the floor some time soon, so I'll see if I can figure out why they did that and maybe put it back together without those screws. What you say seems to be borne out by the photos over in the camper van interior website, although those photos are just a little bit low res to see clearly.

These two almost certainly show no screw heads on the bit just ahead of the wardrobe:




But this one seems to show the same two screws that I have above the fridge:


So how many screw caps have you got in your worktop - I've got a couple in each fixed piece, i.e. the two narrow end pieces and the back sections of all three lifting flaps.
