It pretty much ticks all the boxes I was hoping to achieve with a custom built one:
- Space to put my existing gas hob on top (plus the added bonus of a built in splash screen which will help protect the inside of the van when cooking bacon in the mornings!)
- Space for 2 gas cylinders in the bottom.
- Easy running of gas pipe from gas bottle to hob (it's designed to do this).
- A washing up sink built in.
- A worksurface built in.
- Shelving for all my camping kitchen bits and pieces like pans and crockery.
- Somewhere to hang kitchen utensils.
- Portable - it is fold up and it even comes with its own carrying bag.
- Size-wise it fits nicely into the space I have assigned it to go - opposite the sliding door.
- Looking at the frame it should be easy to bungee it in place for driving - those aluminum poles look well capable of having bungees wrapped around them.
- It's also probably cheaper than what it would cost me to make a wooden cabinet when you take into account the base materials, then primer and fablon (if I take the same approach as the rear cabinet).
- Plus it's professionally made which is more than can be said for my work!
- It can be here in a matter of days rather than the weeks it will take me to build one.
- There is a whole range so we could also pick up a Royal Camping Wardrobe for example, at £55 plus delivery, as one of the things we found was that the back of the van was messy with clothes all over the place.
- Is it strong enough to hold everything we need in there?
- I'll get no sense of achievement in making it myself.
- It's not 100% customised to how I want it - although to be honest it pretty much does everything I was hoping for.
