    Right first an apology to @vanorak for failing to remember to measure the triangle:oops: i will do it tomorrow, promise.
    Today was a short day, just 8 to 2.30 so between the coffee we cobbled together most of the kitchen unit.
    Pics speak for themselves, with a trial run in the bus to determine if the gas locker fits as measured before gluing & screwing the carcass up.
    This is a real technical instal as we are working to tolerances to literally the mm. as cupboard space is being maximised due to the loss to the bed projection.

    Laminate edging has been made from the sheet as opposed to buying in edge-banding material. This keeps colours consistent. Here the edge is being "polished" to remove high spots.

    Glued and pocket screwed

    Test fit. We've decided to cut-out the cabinet and mount the gas locker directly to the subfloor and seat back. It gives a few mm more room for the internal dividers in the cabinet.

    The inside of the fascia has been rebated and the dividers glued in. This will be dismantled tomorrow & we'll cut out the sink/hob aperture using a template I made earlier today. It's coming together well so far :D

  2. No need to apologize @theBusmonkey .....looks like you've been a busy bunny:easter:
    So you've come out quite far in relation to the bulkhead....that's an extra two packets of smash worth of storage right there;)

    LOL your thread edit answered the obvious question!
    The only difference between the Westy original cabinet dimensions and the new one is about 3 inches off the width.
    It's an expensive reduction!!
    & it would be tragic to cut a lumping great hole out of that laminated board to find the sink went right through:eek:
    Good story though, who was it :D?
     
  5. No one on here unfortunately...or else I'd spill the beans without hesitation

  19. does he associate with riff raff?


    Oh yes, i think he may well do:D
    you're looking at multivan set up....captains at the front, hinged table, and rear bench....I can't see how you can incorporate a unit without putting it on sliding rails...or lift outs
