Interior Furniture

While I was busy with the engine swap, Helen got busy with the power tools and started making a kitchen, bed, and bathroom. It was mostly done using 9mm ply and 34mm baton, it's been suggested we could've gone narrower on the baton and thinner on the ply, but only with decent quality material…

We got our wood from B&Q as they offer a cutting service on sheets, means you get all the stuff you need cut perfectly straight & square which saves a lot of faffing round. Be careful though, B&Q wood is utterly rubbish, especially thin ply and planks/baton. We've seen stuff in the store that has an easily visible twist or bend in it so you've got to choose wisely! If you're being fussy, you want something pukka like Baltic Birch Ply.

A unit, making use of a basket from our recently ripped-out kitchen:

All manner of bits coming together:

We have a storage cube each:

Camper fridge placed in, kitchen starting to take shape, base of bed/seat underway:

Sink was £15 from eBay, checking clearance:

You can see how the seat/bed end flaps will work:

Fridge gets the blue treatment, jerry cans for fresh & grey water are in. The aluminium plate allows us to bolt the kitchen to the wall along the centre strut line where there are existing threaded bolt holes for mounted equipment:

The caravan cooker we paid a whole £20 for at Sodbury Sortout didn't get on with our gas bottle & regulator, so a quick change of plans later…

Gas bottle tucked under the kitchen for now, don't really like having it indoors but it'll have to do:
