How to remove cupboard units?

Hi all.
I'm going at my interior with a big roll of fablon and some new carpet that someone has kindly donated
Fitting the carpet to the camper area shouldn't be too much of an issue, except of course the carpet runs under the cupboard units. So, is it easy to shift the units out to do this or should I bodge it and carpet up to the cupboards!?
Also, I'm making the cab carpets too, anyone know of a product that will bind edges of carpet for this purpose?
Many thanks,
Andy

Hello, i've used Copydex to seal carpet edges. Trim the edge with a razor sharp blade or scissors and then coat the edge with it the Copydex- it goes on white but dries clear.

Thanks David, great idea.
I might do that but also add some tape round the edges too, for good measure. I have emailed the seller of this to ask if they think this would be suitable...

Will see what they say.

IIRC there's about four screws holding your cupboards to the van.
To remove the units the over the bed locker has to be removed, then the wardrobe.
if you get that far I'll tell you where the screws are

Thank you Kev. Is it a big job?
Thanks,

Not really
It took me about 3 hrs to remove the lot
then slowly refit it
new floor first
then the cupboard frame (4 screws)
then the doors, wardrobe, doors and seat!
