Fitting a fold-away TV shelf

.

Nowhere in my van was there a convenient place where I could set up to view my TV. I decided I needed a fold-up shelf attached to the end of the sink unit. I wanted the woodwork to match as near as possible the grain and colour of the rest of the van.

I began by looking at different items in the local DIY stores. I found a good match in the form of a 36” x 12” shelf and also a length of matching beading to cover the raw cut edges. The shelf was hinged so that it could fold up out of the way. Catches were found in caravan accessory shops.
