Ha ha ha, all good points about the wood burner maybe ill just invest in some thicker jumpers and socks. As for the picture of the interior that looks spot on did you just change the fronts or did you fit everything from scratch? god i really hate going ikea though thats the only down side. cheers for the advice

All the units that i see either at ikea or wicks all the wall units are only standard 300mm deep, but the ones i have in my camper at the minute are 470mm and the sink and hob are 400mm so i wouldnt be able to re-fit them...

I understood it that you wanted to fit new units, not refit the old ones

The units I used are a mixture of base and wall units which are cut down/modified to fit. A heck of a lot easier than building from scratch,and look better. That lot cost me less than £150 and they are real wood veneer..
