heading towards the finish now! 29/05/23

Just got to make top n side to cover the Porta Potti. Then put a cushion on it. It has a secure base fitted with a latch , easy to pull out still tho. 

The freezer box can be used on mains or 12v, mains cable long enough to reach 240v plug. And will need to fit 12v cigar socket for traveling etc.

Cigar socket fitted 08/06/23

second unit saga 24/05/23

The company that I bought the units from sodded about fur months, ignored my requests for them to send me the missing 2 panels. So much so that 3 months went by. Offered me 15% to sort it myself ! Around £40 a sheet of ply over £140! As a member of the public I wasn't paying that much for 2 x 800 by 400 of a 1200 X 3000m sheet! 

Eventually I had to use Mastercards chargeback after some lengthy phone calls I got the price of one unit back £250! The company CF Woodworks Never bothered first or last! 15 messages all polite requesting missing parts failed. 

Fir the sake of sending 2 pieces of timber it cost them £250!

Getting there!

These units are narrower than previous. 

Left one awaiting base and top! 

So there's more space between them. We've decided to leave a gap at the back, to add storage etc. Probably the portable hobs, this decision enables us to cook inside and out. 

Adding hooks and a bag to put the hobs in will enable us to have easy access to hobs and anything else! 

And keep the Propex for any chilly nights extra .

Will add fillers to back of unit and paint accordingly, undecided re a filler at the top. 

Forgot I'd not fitted the catches to the wall unit! 

So that'll be a fiddle for another day! 

second unit 🥴😱😡🙄

Second unit got sent without worksurface or base or trim and the drawer side was arse about face AND one of the side panels was routed on the back not the front!

Company helped to start with but then tried to fob me off with a 25% refund, so a could source my own missing panels! Not happening! Then " it will be mid march before stock arrives" said I'll wait! I'd have to buy minimum half sheet at over £100! Then cut shape rout!!

Not impressed. 

wall unit ( NS unit swapped to offside to assist mounting position. 06/02/23

Wall unit built will sit just below the top bed. Had to shorten by 4 " 2" off each side to get correct length. Not just the trauma of fitting it! As in making sure it's screwed inti the structural beams behind the carpeted panel. 

Will have to loosen it and mark with mading tape on carpeted panel!

Porta potti will be boxed in with a cushion on top ( maybe!)

first fit 24/01/23

Paint matches the seats well! Just need to trim away some of the base to resess unit towards the window. Will fit a spacer at the back as if unit up against wall we'll loose most of the space on the bottom ! The joys of wheel arches! 

OS unit to build and ordered a 1200 wall unit. 

Nearside Unit 23/01/22

First Cabinet finished

Hassles with the plastic trim, along with company only sent me one pack of it for 2 units!

All fitted well, mostly ! But when trim fitted to doors they do not shut properly in corners! 

So had to sand out about 2mm  in a couple of corners! 

Also where the hinges are attached to wall part of the hinge sits very close to the edge of panel which then interferes with the edging again! Doors shut but the edging is raised a little. So will need to remove a small amount of the " tongue" so the the edging sits flat!.

Next up get it into van to see what needs removing around the wheel arches.
