Hi, apologies if this has already been covered before!

We are thinking of refurbing/replacing the cupboards in our van. it is a home brew camper and we are thinking it works well so we just want to update it and make a few small changes. I am finding it difficult to find melamine board in big enough sizes to make parts all in one piece. ideally I'd need a couple of 8x4 ft sheets but all I can find is 610mm wide. I also have a fairly tight budget!

Any knowledge on this would be much appreciated!

thanks

Cak tanks do a campervan furniture board.

Thanks, had a look and each board would be £105 which is way over our budget as we would probably need a few sheets.

Are you set on using melamine? have you thought about stronger and lighter altenatives like ply

It's a shame you don't live near Grimsby:

I'm really after whatever is cheapest, but it needs to have the high resistant 'plastic' finish.

Yeah! I've been searching ebay for a few days and found lots like this, but unfortunately nothing close enough! we are looking to replace it all next winter so maybe I've just got to bide my time!

Thanks

Yeah, I know what you mean.

I've been looking for a while as well as I'll need it in a couple of months - priority is getting the van on the road, then the interior.

Went to CamperJam last year and there was a stall selling interiors, but at the front was sheets of formica type laminate for sale in various colours and effects (cheaper than ebay). I can't remember the name and can't find their business card right now - but may be (hope) someone else on here might remember.
