My mate got the front of the kitchen CNC routered out today. Lovely tidy job to be fair.
We fitted the panels to the kitchen frame. Forgot that the supplier had given us 18mm instead of 15mm and how that would make the unit wider than the worktop. Anyway, routered out the edge of one of the side panels which should fix that.

So today we said we'd do a small bit and go for a few pints. 8 hours later, still there and no pub
Made a good bit of progress today though. Started out by routering out the edges of the doors and kitchen frame to accept a hammer-in T trim. This will fill the 6mm gap left by the CNC router and put a durable edge on the kitchen doors and frame. Next I made a box to put the gas bottle into. This lines up with the hole in the floor made last week.
We also fitted the drawer and the back panel for the kitchen units, and finished off putting the edging strips on the bed boxes.
It's all coming together, not a massive amount to do.
Drawer front not actually fitted yet, need to glue in the rubber edging and stuff first.
Next jobs will be to make a door for the gas box and fit the bracket to hold the bottle in, do some 230v wiring, and get the doors hung

More bits done this evening.
Biggest job was putting the roof lining up. Supplier ran out of the colour we wanted a few weeks ago so we didn't do it at the same time as the walls. Worked out well I think.
We also fitted the extra sockets, made a top for the drawer, fitted the seal to the gas box, and reinstalled the units.

So the RGI lad came today and did a bit of the gas fittings. We got the sockets and RCB wired up too, finished making the frames at the back except for the lids, which we will do tomorrow. Table is cut too, just needs fixing to the floor, door back on the gas box, and more messing around with the door trims

So we are 99% done. Just a few tiny bits to finish but it's pretty much ready for inspection now anyway.
Oh yeah, needs cushions and curtains obviously

Didn't get the SQI inspection today, think it's Monday now.
Gave us a chance to finish a few more bits.
Some cute little cubby holes, the lids just drop in.
Abandoned the piano hinges as they were a balls. These ones work way better and hold it upright no bothers.
Have a third hinge for the middle, haven't fitted it yet. Still have to fill the screw holes with plastic wood.
Want to fit speakers too, but they're surprisingly hard to come by these days.

We got a lend of cushions for the VRT photos and test.
Finished everything else too.
Having the cushions in makes such a difference. I can't get over how spacious it feels inside for such a small van.

Did you get much use out of it during the summer?
It got a few outings, but no, there was more time spent building it than using it
There’s plans in place for the difficult second camper. Bigger and more complicated - so this one may be up for sale very soon.0 -
