    The Defenders we hired in South Africa a couple of years ago were set up with those boxes (local Tentco brand). The setup was just a ply/timber shelf across the top of the rear wheel arch boxes, with 4 boxes in a single layer underneath.
    Not sure whether you could still get 4 boxes in with a center support, but that would cure the problem we had with the shelf bending under load and sitting down on the top of the boxes making them difficult to get out.

    I think if you could fit in a structure with 2 layers of those boxes on one side and a fridge on the other it would work well.

    I originally wanted to, but couldn't make it work.
    I ended up using the canvas liners that fit inside the wolf boxes instead. Hannibal Safari used to make them and I think Frontrunner do a version. You can see one of the Hannibal bags in my previous pic.
    I can fit 4 bags in my set up, 2 down each side. Stuff I need to use more often gets put in the bags on the drawer slide. Stuff less frequently used goes in the bags on the other side with the lift up top.

    I also put plywood 'walls' in to support the horizontal bits of the qubelok tube. You can see it a bit better in this pic.IMG_20160227_183902~2.jpg

    Thanks Dan, can I ask what the issue was with using the wolf boxes? I love your setup, but I am thinking of using boxes instead of a slide system.

    It was just a matter of size/space really.
    I couldn't get the set up like I have it now to work using the boxes - 4 boxes, a slide and the width needed for the qubelok didn't fit in the space between the wheel arches.
