FAQs

What tools do I need for assembly?

You will need a screwdriver (likely a Phillips head), and potentially a rubber mallet or similar for tapping the cam locks in.

Can I customize the unit's dimensions?

The unit comes in fixed dimensions. However, you can further customize it by modifying the MDF components (e.g., cutting or drilling). Ensure proper sealing if you alter the MDF.

How do I treat the MDF surface?

The MDF can be painted, wrapped, covered, laminated, or sprayed. Proper preparation (sanding, priming) is recommended for best results.

Is the wine rack adjustable?

The wine rack is a fixed design, built into the unit to hold bottles securely.

What is the weight capacity of the unit?

The unit itself weighs 64kg. The weight capacity for the shelves and other storage areas will depend on the weight distribution and construction of the shelves after customization. Avoid overloading the unit.

Can this unit be used outdoors?

While the unit is suitable for camper vans, it's not specifically designed for prolonged outdoor exposure. Protect it from the elements as much as possible, especially moisture.

Troubleshooting

Unit wobbles after assembly.

Double-check all cam lock and bolt connections. Ensure all components are properly aligned and tightened. Consider adding shims if the floor is uneven.

MDF is swelling.

This is likely due to moisture exposure. Ensure the unit is sealed or painted to protect against water damage. Store in a dry environment.

Push-button handles are not working properly.

Check that the handles are correctly installed. Ensure nothing is obstructing the mechanism.
