After much work I've finally got the cupboards in - yay! Still some finishing to do but thought I'd post a few pics. If anyone's interesting I've written up about them and how they were built (with a few more pics) at my blog which is here: http://t25camper.wordpress.com/

That's a bit flash.
Nice job.

Very impressive and professional looking!

Hope you don't mine me asking; where did you get the formica/laminate stuff from?

Very, very nice. Your own design? Or some kind of kit?

brilliant
i have an idea about the amount of time that went into that.

Thanks folks.

All my own design Lloydy. I'd actually like to develop a kit myself, although it'd have to be a simlified version of this. Plan is to get a second van to do up and deveop a design in – apparently I've got to get the house renovation finished before I'm allowed though – women!

DrHfuhruhurr – I got the Formica from Arnold Laver (http://www.laver.co.uk/). They get it from International Decorative Surfaces (http://www.laver.co.uk/) so it's probably cheaper if you can deal directly with them. I think you can also get it from Travis Perkins. The stuff I used is called colorcore which is the same colour all the way through, trouble is it's on the expensive side. The standard Formica is a bit more reasonable.

As long as i don't get outbid on ebay [ normally do ] i will have a van, that will end up with no interior or roof. If you want it, will cost very few shiney coins. Especially if you don't want engine and box

thats a great blog uniB..and those units look the dogs

I'm all for a project Lloydy but I think our lass would chuck me out iff I came home with an engine / roofless van!!

Glad you like the blog weldore, be good for me to read back through it when all is finally done (if it ever is!)

Very very very nice.

I can only imagine the time and effort you've put into that!

Real craftsmanship! Am doing similar to our van in near future... hope it turns out as well as yours.

All I can say is wow! I'm frightened to start mine now as it will look S..oooh inferior. Well done sir

Sure you'll be fine Jake – just keep it simple, if you're cutting our own timber make sure you've got a sharp blade and don't do anything when you're tired because that's when stuff goes wrong (and fingers come off!)

Many thanks for that uniB. We've got a couple of Travis Perkins's local to us so I'll check them out first.
