    I would imagine the number of Van DIYers on this forum is relatively small. You'll probably be better using Google.

    Agree with CY. Look around for self build or van lifers forums, or to source one of the kit conversions might be your best bet.

    I expect you want a compressor fridge but most leisure shops tend to stock absorption fridges.

    You could try this website https://clearcutconversions.co.uk/product-category/campervan-conversions/ They sell a whole range of products for camper van conversions including fridges and hobs.

    Coastal Motorhomes is another reputable supplier but they do tend to specialises in spares more that primary units.

    I would decide what kind of fridge, sink, burner you want, what measurements, how you want to “house” the components, and google Thetford Fridge, Thetford Sink, Thetford Hob/Oven. There will be all sorts of sizes, layouts online from Caravan and Boat spares suppliers, including other makes than Thetford. If you are converting from scratch, you will have a lot to choose from. You might get something decent second hand as well, if price is an option. We have replaced such items in our old vans down the years. Just make sure you are careful fitting gas items, or get a specialist fitter to check things out for you. 

    There will be a lot of “how to.....” videos on YouTube as well. 😁

    Magnum Motorhomes in Grimsby may be worth a "look-see"  for your requirements,if you Google them.

    They have a website and premises-cannot speak for their access arrangements re Covid etc.

    Not sure where you are located but give Nigel & Tina a call at 6 County Campers in Crowland, P'boro.
