For a Chelmsford self-build, decide whether you need a coordinated kitchen-and-lounge layout or furniture to add beside an existing bed. This guide helps compare those starting points without counting the same floor space twice.

Furniture layouts to compare
Use the current product drawings and pack contents alongside this guide. Compare the sleeping footprint, usable storage and space needed to open doors before choosing your finish.
U-shaped kit with fridge drawer
A kitchen, U-shaped lounge and removable bed infills in a 1400 × 2261 mm footprint. Plywood or Black Hex. Fridge, cushions and mattress are separate.
U-shaped kit with kitchen fridge bay
A 1400 × 2261 mm kitchen-and-lounge layout with a fixed fridge opening and power-station storage cupboard. Appliances are separate; check their installation requirements.
Browse all U-shaped conversion kits, or compare separate kitchens and cupboards and overhead storage. Product images are renders; the listings show current options and prices.
Compare a complete furniture layout with separate units
Fix the parts of the layout you already own
Draw the existing bed in its extended position and mark any seats or appliances you intend to retain. Treat that footprint as fixed while comparing kitchen units. A coordinated U-shaped kit suits a different starting point from adding a NOMAD cupboard beside an established sleeping arrangement. Compare the complete layout before looking at individual cabinet finishes.
Compare what each purchase actually supplies
List the furniture panels, assembly hardware and options included with each candidate. Put appliances, cushions and vehicle fitting requirements in separate columns. This makes it easier to compare a larger furniture kit with several smaller purchases. Do not add an unrelated kitchen to a coordinated kit without checking access, attachment and the space already occupied.
Prepare your Chelmsford conversion enquiry
Send the van make, model, year, wheelbase and roof height, the kit you are considering and your finished measurements. Include:
- Extended footprint of the existing bed
- Equipment and furniture you will retain
- Included contents and separate purchases
State the receiving postcode and whether any floor, lining or equipment measurements are still provisional. Use the contact form, call 0330 043 2427 or email contact@888VanRacking.co.uk.
Delivery and Medway collection
For delivery to Chelmsford, enter your full postcode at checkout and check the service for the selected kit. Provide access details for a home or workshop delivery and leave time to inspect and assemble the furniture before your first trip.
The featured conversion-kit listings offer £80 pallet delivery where that service is available, or free Medway collection by arrangement. Confirm service and price for Highland, island or restricted-access addresses. Rates for other furniture depend on the item and address. Check the shipping policy and your checkout options, or ask us to confirm delivery and lead time.
Before choosing your kit
Can separate kitchen units be mixed with a conversion kit?
Only where their dimensions and installation arrangements work together. A kit is already a coordinated furniture layout; check the remaining space and access before adding another unit.
What work and equipment should I plan separately?
These are furniture kits. Check the chosen listing for assembly hardware and optional catches or fitting packs. Appliances, cushions, mattress and table support are separate on the featured kits. Confirm your vehicle fit and structural mounting arrangements. Use the lounge and bed while parked; they are not travelling passenger seats.
