Bay Camper Van - Storage Unit Project

Restoration to existing furniture using existing handles and trims. The units were finished in a Bamboo effect laminate.

• For this recently renovated Bay camper van, we started with a blank canvas. The brief was to make and fit storage units, to integrate the sink into the work top, provide storage in the form of units for the cooker, fridge and the cool box, gas bottle and water storage set around a rock and roll bed.
• The Bay camper van project started out with a full sized hardboard layout, providing a cut out template to ensure that all units proposed would fit and provide as much space as possible.
• The table and legs are stored in an open space to the left of the fridge cupboard, with the cooker/oven, gas bottle and storage space in other cupboards with the sink integrated into the unit. These units have been designed to optimise storage use and maximise area space.
• Extra storage and work top space was created by using the entire length of the living area.
• Sink and cooker are situated under a piano style work top, with extra storage units accessible under the work top.
• The jump seat was fitted with one shallow and one deep drawer, offering useful storage. The edges were finished with aluminium coated P.V.C T-bar trim.
• The sound system was set into the storage area under the jump seat.
• Materials and Finishes The carcases of all the units were made from light weight plywood, coated in a grey textured vinyl, providing long-lasting durable finish. Worktops were in a chequered light and dark gun metal finish which are scratch and water resistant, the same finish was applied to surrounding kick boards. The edges of the jump seat, table and storage units were finished in aluminium coated P.V.C T-bar trim.
