Low level lightweight ply kitchen

[heather123]

Hi all I wonder if anyone can advise.

I'm looking for a vw T6 swb full length low kitchen (so no wardrobe) with units all the way along beneath the worktop/windows and high cupboards above the windows.
I've found one from van furniture that is lightweight ply, but not sure if this will look good if not laminated? Anyone got photos of lightweight ply kitchen in their van that's been simply finished e.g. with oil? And is lightweight ply robust enough? I've seen some kitchen units which are birch ply - heavier but would this be better?

Anyone know any other companies that do the full length low kitchen?

Thanks in advance!

Lightweight ply is certainly robust enough, I used it in my kitchen and it’s solid.

Finish is a personal choice- mine is painted, with Osmo natural finish on the edges rather than t-trim. The Osmo seems to be quite tough, and it’s supposed to discourage the wood from going orange over time, but K can’t vouch for that yet.

From my experience I would opt for tambour or sliding doors, standard hinged doors are not the best in a small van.

After missing out on some units from a forum member, I stumbled across this on Google and took a chance...

I bought from the link above as I got free next day delivery and 10% off but you'll also find it listed on B&Q.

Started building yesterday, all the ply is very well finished and certainly better than my Van Furniture parts I bought last year.

Comes with soft close hinges and push button locks included, along with a table and leg. I'll end up painting the worktop and running a router around the edge to fit my own knock on trim.
