Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure you have the appropriate tools, including a drill, screwdriver, and level. Locate suitable mounting points within your camper van's structure (e.g., wall studs or reinforced frame members). Use the pre-drilled holes on the cabinet and the provided fixings to securely attach the unit. It's recommended to have a second person assist with holding the cabinet during installation.
Compatibility: This cabinet is designed for universal fitting in most camper vans and RVs. Its open-back design enhances compatibility with varying interior layouts. Ensure the mounting location can support the cabinet's weight when loaded.
Care: The unfinished birch plywood can be cleaned with a slightly damp cloth. For a lasting finish, sand the surface smooth before applying paint, varnish, or vinyl wrap. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners that could damage the wood or any applied finish. Regular dusting will maintain its appearance.
