We notice the sink and draining board are very small how do you manage with such a small draining board ?
Lastly is it very difficult to change the light on side of shelf unit to a LED light.
Using a small draining board probably needs a washer and wiper upper working together. Alternatively, many sites have a dish wash area with big sinks and draining boards like at home. Pop the dishes into a bowl or a small trug and carry them across.
Not sure on the light change. Easiest will be to remove the lamp and fit an LED version of it. It all depends on what the light fitting and lamp are.
To change the fitting is easy if it's surface mounted (not recessed). A similar light can be fitted in place of it.

Nearly every camper, caravan or MH has a relatively small sink and either NO fixed draining board or a tiny one!
My caravan has a removable draining board that I use with a collapsible drainer (similar to this: https://www.diy.com/departments/37cm-black-and-grey-collapsible-folding-sink-dish-........), that allows me to remove it when not in use, to free up the small kitchen worktop.
A fair number of dish drainers with inbuilt drip trays on the market, that can be placed on a worktop, typical one here: https://www.therange.co.uk/household/washing-up/dish-drainers-and-cutlery-holders/........
Or use a conventional dish drainer over something like an oven tray, or even for perhaps smaller quantities where it won't become saturated, over a tea towel or towel to soak up the drips.
You learn to adapt and compromise to restrictions when living in camping units.
The range of collapsible bowls. drainers, colanders, storage containers, tote boxes, buckets etc. become your best friends in the restricted environs of most camping units - space is precious, look for items that stack inside each other, Russian Doll style, or collapse to much less than size in use, so that you can stow things better, OR take thinks you didn't think you has space for!

The opening Countryman windows have mesh fly screens built in, and the bedroom inners have a mesh section at the top for ventilation.
For the door, I would fix up a simple piece of netting to act as a fly screen, if this is important for you. You could attach it to the frame above the door quite easily I imagine.
