Shelves for cupboards - recommendations please?

[DaveHobson]

I’m making shelves for the high side cupboards in the motorhome, to make the most of the space. The shelves will be 9mm MDF, painted, but I’m unsure how to support them. Options I’ve considered are;
- the little plastic shelf supports in a 5mm hole - but the sides that I’m going into are probably only a bit thicker than that, so I’d be nervous drilling into them,
- thin timber battens glued to the sides,
- vertical timber ‘props’ from the floor of the cupboard.
Any tips or recommendations?
Thanks,
Dave.

I used these successfully. I lined the sides with 6mm ply to avoid marking the sides. I find Ply is a bit more sturdy than MDF. You can get drill bits with adjustable collars to set drill depths https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pack-of-...d=link&campid=5338547443&toolid=20001&mkevt=1
