Hi all, in this video I show you how I decided to tackle our high level cupboards. Like most of our build, weight and cost were at the forefront of my mind when building the cupboards but they had to look pretty decent too! I think they turned out alright in the end. Below are some of the links* for bits and bobs we have used in this video.

We’re Scarlett, Craig and Merlin and along with Helsing, form the PILGRIM PODS! If you enjoy this video why not check out some of our other content? Delve even deeper into our channel; we thought we’d create a series of vlogs chronicling the conversion of our old panel van HELSING (did you see what we did there?) into a weekend warrioring campervan for ADVENTURING and EXPLORING in the UK. Each vlog will cover a stage or smaller element of our campervan build, showing our ideas put into action and highlighting our SUCCESSES and FAILURES along the way. With no previous experience this may make for an interesting journey! Our plan is to convert a cheap van on a small budget without cutting corners and at the end, have a campervan to be proud of. We’re hoping you’d like to join us for this journey and that you find our uploads ENTERTAINING and even, INFORMATIVE!

    1. Yeah, it honestly turned out so much better than I thought it was going to. I’ll incorporate it into our kitchen unit too.

  1. I agree a cracking job. Very well thought out. I like your approach the the build. Very methodical Craig. Hope you enjoy soon. Lets see some videos of the travels. Many Than you for all your efforts and lessons.

  2. Hi Craig just trying to find the shower trim you used can’t find that type where did you get it please?
