Van Kitchen Installation Questions

It covers fitting the kitchen unit, countertop, sink bowl and tap, fresh and grey water tanks, and storage drawers and cupboards. Every joint is sealed and leak-tested, and the whole unit is shake-tested on a short drive before handover.

A rough idea helps, where you want the sink, cooking area and storage, but the converter works through the exact position during the dry-fit stage, checking clearances against wheel arches and door openings before any cutting starts.

A properly fitted unit is secured to both the van floor and wall with fixings rated for road vibration. The converter carries out a shake test on a short drive as part of the sign-off, checking for movement, rattles and drips before handing the van back.

A temporary or unsecured setup can shift on the road and damage the subfloor, particularly if the sink leaks. Water sitting under a loose unit causes rot in the ply floor and can reach the van’s metal structure, turning a straightforward fit into a more costly repair.

No. The kitchen installation covers the unit, plumbing and storage only. A full conversion includes ply lining, insulation, electrics and sleeping. The kitchen stage can be arranged as a standalone job if the rest of the build is already done or being handled separately.

The written quote itemises components, unit carcass, countertop, sink, tap, water tanks, fixings, and labour separately. There are no hidden costs added after the fit; the quote covers everything agreed before the converter starts work.
