The original back cupboard was a fibreglass and wooden construction covered in a brown carpet fabric. The covering was as horrible and mouldy as the old roof lining. We tried stripping it but it was just too hard and not worth it. So I decided to start from scratch in MDF.
It needed to fit in the back corner of the van and fit the curvature of the van.
I started off with the basic shape.
I then needed to cut out and box in a section at the bottom to allow the engine cover to be removed without having to empty the cupboard first.
I also added a shelf.
And another shelf at the top, with an access hole at the front.
Then painted it white.
Our friend noticed that it looked a little like a miniature grand piano.
We attached fabric to the back of the cupboard to keep clothes away from condensation on the van window.
This is the access hole for the top shelf.
And here it is fitted with its door.
That's awesome Nick!
