Thought you might be interested in our latest adjustments for Harvey, our 680…
Pics 1&2 are the attachments for a cabin divider curtain (still being made)
The drawers:
Inspired by Debs Burden’s video (and with her very welcome advice) I spent MY Christmas afternoon installing wire shelving in the two port-side cupboards of Harvey.
On Debs’ advice we went for the heavier-duty wire baskets, ordered from Amazon.
Brand name: Kukoo (see order pic) basket sizes are much less than the standard kitchen cupboard sizes indicated.
3 x 300mm (3 for cupboard 1L. Actual width 197mm)
3 x 500mm (3 for cupboard 2L. Actual width 397mm)
3 x 500mm (3 for cupboard 4L).
You’ve guessed already that (like aircraft doors) I’ve assigned the doors sequentially on vehicle left/right side (with cupboard 3L being electrical)
The rail-sliders in the cupboards shown are built each on wooden supports to clear the hinge/door surround (only on one side in cupboard 1L), 250 x 70 x 21mm (from B&Q). I haven’t started cupboard 4L yet so can’t tell you about the required size of wood yet but I know that a 500mm basket will fit…all screwed into place 180mm apart vertically (all drawers are 140mm high) and 155mm inboard from the inside of the cupboard doors (which allows clearance from all the gubbins at the back) with countersunk 30mm screws. The rails are then screwed onto those using half inch screws. Apologies for the imperial/metric mix there…) I planned on those rails being positioned to slope slightly down towards outboard so that they would naturally close with gravity but they are SO robust they stay in any open position (but they ARE soft-close).
The beauty about these Kukoo rails is that they are each adjustable by 2/3mm once in place.
I haven’t yet been able to source similar baskets for vehicle right side cupboard 1R as it isn’t as deep as those on the left. Any suggestions?
