Glad it was helpful. top tip would be to ensure you have the door orientation for the mounting brackets correct so for example a 30x60 door is not the same as a 60x30 door as the holes are cut differently. Dont ask me how I found this out... :-|
Great stuff, what I have seen so far has been enjoyable, was wondering how that alloy bottom profile is fixed to the cupboard sides and bottom, to me it seems to be magically floating there, how did this actually get fixed to support what goes in there. Thanks
it is screwed into the base on the inside. have a look here and the side on profile will make more sense. hope that helps. shop.morlanduk.com/morland-locker-door-profile-57x38x2200mm-aluminium.html
I have a feeling you're going to quite a popular chap after this series..haha, excellent work and if to copy means to compliment then I'll be sending quite a few compliments your way..😂 oh and just a quick update I received my panels today and mine fit exactly as yours do in the h2 ...terribly that is, not too impressed at Solway panels fit tbh at present. 🤔 Anyway, nothing I can't over come but for the price I'm a little disappointed.. Right..that just leaves me to say can't wait for the next instalment!! 😁👍🏼
Presumable you are referring to the Solway panels. if so just google solway panels and you will find them. also available from magnum motorhomes. hope that helps.
Could you tell me what height the overcab shelf is at from the floor level...and then the height from the shelf to the ceiling? I'd also be interested to know the maximum width you're getting across the ceiling from wall to wall? I can't find these measurements anywhere, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Sounds like you need quite a few measurements. might suggest going to a dealer or similar with a cheeky tape measure and get everything you need in one hit. cant give you width now as wall coverings fitted etc.
great video and cracking work, can I ask where you got the aluminium profile for your cabinet? all the one's I can find don't have the wee lip to stop the door.
@@wiltshirecustomcamper7203 I haven't got mine yet as the threshold piece is out of stock, but on their website it says something about trimming 2 inches of the black shelf before fitting item no1.
@@bonkersbeast Mine fitted just fine on the black shelf that came in the van as standard, the only thing with the H3 is of course it is not tall enough as it is designed for the H2 so you have to infill the top. but defo no issues with the shelf. dont know if shelf in H2 is different though? good luck with it.
I can. They were Ringhult gloss white. be sure to check the orientation when you order as a 60x40 and a 40x60 are not the same, the hinge cut outs are different locations! don't ask me how I know that!! I chose the doors first to the 'best fit' for the space from the available sizes and then made the cabinets to fit the doors, hence the infill pieces. good luck.
You are a gentleman,thank you, I will be contacting you again at some point during my build but I have to say your videos are very informative,Good job
Although I did not film it, they are actually screwed on the left and right into the shower cubicle and the bulkhead cover. now although I have not done the whole monkey swing to test them (wouldn't dare!) I have had a good yank at them and all seems fine.
@@wiltshirecustomcamper7203 Good stuff. They certainly look sturdy. I'm wondering how to go about mine on the other side above the kitchen (without any sidewalls going to the floor for support) and thinking I will bond a batten the roof to be sure while I have my ceiling down. belt and braces as you might say!
@@nur5ey1 Some people seem to be screwing into ceiling... mine is flimsy cladding so not really feasible. I think another batten is the easiest option.
They come in a wide range of sizes so go for the ones to best suit your design. note the orientation of the edges however as a 40x60 and a 60x40 are NOT the same thing.
I'm really enjoying your series. Are you working to budget or do you just spending as you need to? What do you think the final budget will be? Also, will you be installing air con in the living area? Thanks...
No budget as such but had a good idea of what would be needed and how much it may all cost before starting. I thnk a good way to approach this is to add up the cost of all the items in your build like fridge, boiler etc etc then add 30%-40% on top for good measure and you will not be too far out, and if you don't have the budget for the extra 30%-40% then either don't even start or accept it might not be all you wanted at the end.. Oh! no aircon because A) too heavy and expensive and B) in UK don't need it as summer lasts approx 4 days in July.
@wiltshirecustomcamper hubby driving me mad with your vlogs 😂 can we ask where you got the silver trim under the wall cabinets. Very impressive you’ve inspired us 😊

Nice quality work, clean finished edges make a hell of a difference to the overall look.
Thank you. seemed a better option than trying to make doors myself, could do it but is alot more work.
Very informative, I’m just to embark on my 3rd conversion. It’s great to see how others have tackled it.
Best of luck with your build. thanks for watching
Moody Mrs I love it. Got me laughing out loud. Hope my Mrs does not here me. Thanks great build

This looks very good, well done. Can you also link the items used in this video on the description?
Oooo, that sounds technical. I will give it a go when I get some free time.

Hi there great job I've decided to use IKEA doors do you know if they do an edging iron strip
Thanks
Don't think they do. I made my cabinets to the sizes of the doors so I did not need to cut them.
Looks really nice me old mucker 😀
Ta muchly me old china. :-)
id love to know where you got the panels surrounding the windows behind the drivers seat and the sliding door, great vid
Presumable you are referring to the Solway panels. if so just google solway panels and you will find them. also available from magnum motorhomes. hope that helps.
Gadget john has just installed them in his van aswell so might be worth a look for another take on them.
Can you please give a link to this catches as they are looking amazing
they came from Evo Design, also Magnum Motorhomes sell some as well. hope that helps.
@@wiltshirecustomcamper7203 thank You 👍 they look really good already ordered them 😊

I got all the aluminium parts for the cabinets along with the furniture board from Morlands. hope that helps.
Cheers mate.
i was trying to remember the name of the light strip that the led lights fit into and where do you get them?
i got all mine from ebay. if i remember i just search led light strip channel or something like that. i will try to find a link for you.
Hi I'm just wondering, did you have to trim the OEM black over cab shelf at the front in order to fit the solway panel ?
no, fitted like a glove to it? are you having trouble with yours?

Can you remember what doors you used,,that's exactly what I'm looking for, looking in ikea but there's a few to choose from,,

Great work, it's really coming along. Do you find they are strong enough without needing the screw into the roof supports?
