Those things “missing”
Those things “missing” wouldn’t actually cost much to install. Cheap hob top off Ebay/car boot. Water hoding tank easy enough and a table is easy in the form of a fold up.
I bought two connectors, (base and top), pedestal and table top for around 35 quid. It all dismantles for the bed to be pulled out.
I reckon, you could do all that stuff using used stuff for about a hundred quid.Where would I put the hob
Where would I put the hob top? units and worktop are already installed. I already have a part of the worktop which sticks out and could be classed as a table I guess, a permanent water holding tank, I don’t know about that, what, and where would I put it? the van is pretty much finished so it’a a bit more complicated than bunging stuff in for a photo, and then if I was to have an accident, wouldn’t it invalidate my insurance?I’ve joined motorhome365 forum in search of answers.
Sorry for the thread hijack Amy!

I’m not sure why they are
I’m not sure why they are making a fuss about a perm water holding tank. Maybe it’s because you want to be covered 365 days a year, but whats the difference between a portable tank underneath the units and a perm one? They really are fussy.
You could cut out a hole in the worktop to sink a hob top in with gas bottle secured underneath? (If you own or borrow a router)
Mine was nearing completion, when I suddenly had a change of plan and virtually ripped out a good part of the kitchen stuff which I had spent hours on, but the change was worth it.
If you have room for a small round table, a 35quid note will solve that.
Out of curiosity…If you wanted 365 day cover….What were you going to cook on?I’m not sure why they are

Check to see if they will be happy with a microwave instead of a hob. The DVLA typically allow this, so Campton probably will as well. You can always remove the microwave later if you don’t need it 🙂Check to see if they will be

I’ve spoken to some insurance companies and other people travelling 365 days a year, and I apparently should be insuring it as a van not a motorhome, but declaring the storage units, and rock and roll bed. I don’t want to add a hob, I’ve spent a fair bit of time making my units exactly as I want, and specifically don’t want a permanent cooker in the van. The water holding tank is a bit of a grey area I think,I think a large water holding container strapped inside a cupboard would do, I just don’t like being forced to do these things to fit in with the insurance companies stupid misinformed criteria.For cooking I will be buying a portable Coleman oven, with a small gas tank which I can take in or out of the van as and when needed, so not permanent. I’m not into travelling with all mod cons, I think that kind of defeats the purpose of travelling. I like “roughing it” I guess!
