Smev Space

Hi All

I'm wondering if anyone knows how much space cupboard you need around a 2 burner Smev/Dometic hob? I'm considering building a removable "box" to hold a cooktop with additional room to store plates and cutlery. This probably wouldn't be used in the Bongo, just lifted out and used as a camp kitchen. I'm just not sure if it is practical/possible to do and how much space I'd need to allow below and to the sides of the hob i.e. how big my box would need to be? I'd like to keep it as compact as possible while remaining safe (I haven't been able to find any guidance on the Dometic site). I could put air vents in the side and rear to allow airflow...

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Alan

Thanks Doone. I finally managed to find a manual on the Dometic site that said you need 30mm below the burners and you should stick heat insulation down if you plan to have anything in a drawer immediately below that.

That's more than we knew (on the forum) before! Nice detective work!
