More Work on The Kitchen Cupboard

After another a break of 3 weeks, I've managed to get back to work on the bus conversion. I came to a stop because I had ordered the appliances and other fittings and I've been waiting for them to arrive. All equipment required was purchased through Peter Booth at Tas Mobile Caravan Repairs Ph: 0458 615 003. Peter sourced the equipment through one of his suppliers and was able to provide very competitive quotes. He has 20+ years experience in the caravan repair business and does a great job if you need something done. Best of all he comes to you, no need to tow the caravan etc to a yard. - Advertisement complete.

This weekend I finished putting the shelves in the kitchen cupboard and cut the openings in the bench top for the stove and sink. I chose to go for the Smev 3 burner in bench type stove top. This was to provide the extra bench space that comes from the glass top and also to keep the distance as much as possible between the burners and the rangehood. The regulations stipulate a gap of at least 600mm between the burners and any combustible surface above, or 450mm between the burners and any non-combustible surface (the rangehood).

As you can see from the photos below, the stove top and the sink are in place, but obviously have to be moved so that the Laminex top can be fitted.

Peter is coming to cut the holes in the side of the bus and fit the roof vents. I could tackle these jobs, but I think that his experience will prove very valuable and avoid costly mistakes.

That's it for now. I hope the next post will show some more real progress, however there is now a lot of work to be done behind the scenes, wiring, plumbing etc. Thanks for reading.
