Holdsworth Villa 3 furniture removal

Post by italianjob »

afternoon all

after a monumental MOT failure last week on my van (wheel arches, jacking points, sills) I've defo decided to sort her out and shes booked in at the van doctors for straight after easter.

All the furniture has to come out and I'm reluctant to do it because its in very good order - but I dont want the van to be an early guy fawkes night, so it has to be done. Any advice on the best order for removing the interior??? I've just read the 'autohomes furniture removal topic' and that has really put me off - it seems that the autohomes furniture was built in situ - any idea if the holdsworth furniture was done the same way??

Picture attached below of my current set up - a little dated, but it does the job.

Ta for now

Yeah it's a bit of a bugger.
It's also academic as you said yourself "it has to be done" so you're kind of stuck with it. The only tips I can give is take your time, keep a record of what size screws go where and try not lose your temper with it. A good powerful small torch is handy once you've got your head stuck in a cupboard. :wink:

The bed should come out no problems.

Id start by taking the fridge out and then having a look behind that.

Let us know how you get on!

Best of luck

Attach the small bags with tape to the panels of the units... which you have pre-numbered with permanent marker inside.
If you haven't got one of those telescopic magnetised wands then get one, not just for those screws that try to escape but I garantee you will use it after!
Oh!...magnetic screwdriver when you re-assemble :D
