Comparing conversion kits for a Southampton build? The two kitchen layouts below store a fridge differently. Use the appliance opening, access direction and space needed in front of the furniture to decide which arrangement belongs in your measured plan.

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.
Choose between a fridge drawer and a fixed fridge bay
Draw the appliance in use
The fridge-drawer kit needs clear space for the tray to pull forward and for the chosen fridge lid to open. The kitchen-fridge version has a fixed front-opening bay. Draw those movements with the bed and other cupboards in their normal positions. A closed appliance fitting inside the space is only the first part of the comparison.
Keep the appliance specification separate
Choose the exact fridge before assuming a bay will suit it. The kitchen-fridge listing gives a Dometic NRX 50 size reference; another nominal 50-litre model can have different dimensions. Follow its mounting and ventilation instructions. The furniture price does not include a fridge, and a photograph cannot establish the required installation clearances.

Delivery and Medway collection
For delivery to Southampton, 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
Does a fridge bay mean a fridge is included?
No. Both featured kits supply furniture. Source the appliance separately and check its dimensions, ventilation and restraints against the selected layout before ordering.
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.
