just done this in the bathroom,if the weight required on the shelf is not too much a shelf can be put in.check thickness of the wall each side.mine were half inch thick.buy some strips of wood one for each side of the shelf 3/4 x 3/4 inch.drill 4 holes in each.the trick is to glue and screw the wood.glue all the way down the wood strips.when dry a quarter inch thick ply can be glued and screwed to the strips and a wood trim tacked onto the front to finish.if more weight is required a strip of 3/4 by 3/4 wood all the way along the rear of the shelf.if its a new caravan don't do it as your warranty will be void.double check your screw length as they can cause unsightly damage if they come through.

Yes glue a frame around the inners  of your  wardrobe with some nice planed or sanded  wood so it doesnt look out of  place to the original wood then use some nice panel wood to make the shelf .So if you come to sell it you can take the shelf out and nobody would notice it was there just the frame would be left ..I have a ? you wouldnt have a old sky card lying about would you  LOL HEEE HEEE regards the NUNNY NUTTER  hI Dave
