DIY campervan kitchen build... getting us through lockdown!

This is how we have finished our makeshift camper kitchen units, we are having to get things done now on a tight budget with limited resources but it is keeping us sane during lockdown.

    I seriously love the creativity in your kitchen, both in terms of the design, but also in making use of whatever materials you still had. I have a feeling that what started out as your makeshift budget kitchen is going to be far superior to whatever I can do. Great humour as well, much needed during the apocalypse! Thanks guys :-)

    Thanks, I don't mind you saying at all, and you're right, an angle brace in compression will always work better than tension, as I have them. However, due to where my hinges are I would have missed one of my slats altogether so in this instance where the doors are incredibly small and very light I think they will hold up just fine, only time will tell I guess. Thanks for watching and always appreciate input 😁👍
