This is where we have got to with the kitchen build in our DIY campervan. Covid 19 has certainly had an impact on our conversion and our plans... but the build must go on! How to build a campervan.

    Nice idea with the drawer runners, I've just finished my kitchen unit on my van and honestly shop bought ones are a bit of a faff and you need to be very precise otherwise they don't run well, I might even copy your idea if I do build another van. At the moment I'm at a similar stage to you just had a week off and now all but finished the kitchen unit so its taken me about a month and a bloody half and now with this corona virus it seems like I have even more time for my build. With your drawer runners I'd be tempted to varnish them just to keep them clean, smooth and durable.
