Fitting the Van Kitchen and Gas Locker

[@PenkyPenkert]

Great stuff guys, thanks for the video. Doing a refurb on and old van and I'm a bit of a newbie. Great ideas here. Thanks

[@snoman1999]

Great attention to detail and awesome craftsmanship...I like the way you show any errors/adjustments you make along the way (saves others doing the same).. Up there with the best builds I've ever seen ...

[@jjnevis]

Hi there, nice job. I'm thinking of fitting the same oven/grill and just wondered what your opinion is of it, now that you been using it for a few years?

[@elvyn123]

Gee the stress of getting everything done in time for your holiday, I feel for you. Great job, you are almost there.

[@TheRestorationCouple]

🙄 there are easier ways to holiday!

[@kevinchappell5837]

Love the mini roller paint trick down the vent hole!

[@Greg6074]

You're doing a really great job of this van & should be proud!

[@wildmanrobsonsprinter4503]

This is a brilliant insight btw into what I need to do.

[@gpswildride]

Hahahaha, I love how you man handled that Sikaflex. Way to show it who's boss!!

[@bren106]

I see the Lidl pull saws came out again. I use them every time now as a first choice, they're absolutely great for the price.

I think you need to space the hinge side of the fridge door away from the cabinet if you want to fit it flush and have the door open properly. I'm convinced it used to be in the manual, but it doesn't seem to be in their current manuals. IIRC it's about 12mm, so the cabinet space needs to be that much wider than if you're fitting it with the door proud.

[@TheRestorationCouple]

All sorted now, will show in future video. Yes needs a bit more clearance but much better than bringing the whole fridge out. 👍

[@dibley1973]

Coming together nicely.

[@tony8163]

Looking forward to the worktop video! Keep up good work Tim.

Really thought that mastic gun was going to get launched, great control brilliant job bet you love Jenga

[@robinturner2300]

I have a gun designed for chemical fixings from Fischer. Because it's got to shove a stuff mortar and catalyst through a mixing nozzle it'll shove anything else out with ease. I too gave up with budget crap guns as they bend too easily.

[@garrystacey7018]

Great job keep up the good work 👍🏻

[@keithbenstead1260]

hi im going to be using same gas bottle 907 for my cooker and separate hob could you recommend a two burner hob as im a bit lost with it all . thanks keith

[@kevinspiteri3150]

Fantastic as allways 👍

[@MrLodonlondon]

Did you not consider the hob above the oven ?

[@dawnbaker9274]

Bet you're good with puzzles too. 😆 Well done.

[@Swordie100]

I'd suggest covering the inside of the venting hole with paint. As you cut through that metal, you leave unprotected exposed metal there. Oh, you did that. Lol. I'll leave it here for anyone who might miss that and could see this as a reminder. :D

[@petermiller3882]

Excellent mate keep going

[@NorthernMigrationTravel]

Great job… What wood are you using there?

[@kitsnicks2778]

How did you secure your oven into place with the built in unit? Thanks 😊

[@brambekkers]

Why don't you make a workshop serie where you upgrade your workplace. You deserve a nice and organized shop.

[@TheRestorationCouple]

Believe me, it’s all planned and has been for a while. The prep for the slab was done 3 years ago and that is where I had to start prioritising house and family projects/budget. 🙄 One day it will happen!

[@juliangardner3357]

Top job mate.

[@kitsnicks2778]

Is the gas bottle in the gas locker what will be used to fuel the oven? Or is the gas locker completely sealed with a spare and you will use an additional gas bottle near the oven? If so, where will you store it? Your videos have been a life saver!!!

[@TheRestorationCouple]

This is just for the oven and hob, we have never been away long enough to both keeping a spare on the van.

[@kitsnicks2778]

@@TheRestorationCouple Thanks alot. Do you just drill a hole in the gas locker for the copper pipes leading to your appliances? Thanks again.

[@jonesynet]

8:47 Slow down there Tim! This van conversion lark is taking its toll! :-)

[@fishntools]

Might consider Ty-Wrapping some screen type socks to the underside vent tubes

[@glennclark762]

What type of ply are you using for the kitchen. Is it marine ply?

[@TheRestorationCouple]

No just standard hardwood faced ply from diy store. 👍

[@underhandjunky]

Mk3 version is genius :D

[@frankmcgarry2269]

Can the fridge be raised, less bending over

[@johnfitzpatrick2083]

Wow

[@MidnightAmratha]

do consult with the main operator of the kitchen area, it is imperative to have all users happy with the work space.

[@TheRestorationCouple]

That would be me, well most of the time at least. 👍

[@ryanaskew5517]

Hilarious. Love your frustration. Sorry!!

[@bugzie-a1769]

i have the same fridge but mine is bigger, CRX-110 watch out how you open it, handle can break very easily don't force it when you lift up the handle, Dometic fixed it under warranty, apart from that issue, it's a very good fridge, not cheap though, :)

[@chris-Ribble-Roots]

10:14 I thought this show was family friendly :p

[@TheRyanb23]

😂😂😂

[@petermiller3882]

Any more van clips

[@wildmanrobsonsprinter4503]

Haha. Give me a Google with the sealant gun
