Thread: Storage Drawers

good evening!

I build my own system just last week. see the photos attached: L shaped aluminum profiles bolted to the floor, haefele drawer slides bolted to them, on which the aluminum frame runs in which the boxes sit. pretty easy and very cheap (under 200$ including the boxes).

the boxes are 40 wide and 60 long, notice the different heights. I could put in a second drawer system to the right.

fyi, next I will put in a platform running from window sill to window sill. this covers the cargo area and one can sleep on it (had it before, works like a treat). this is why I can stack the boxes.

the trick is to decide first on your boxes and then build the system around them.

hope this helps someone, all the best, cheers, axel

in my last email I was talking about how I will continue with my storage system. here comes the update:





*) the platform sits on 20mm square steel tubes
*) there are no cross members which means: take off the top boards and the cargo area is fully available (but not the space over the wheel arches)
*) all sections can be lifted lifted up to access the gear from the inside ... and screwed down for saftey when offroading
*) the fridge (right behind the passenger seat) is of the same height and is easily accessible as well.

the finishing touches will be glueing the lining where not done yet and adjusing the height of single platform segments.

and another happy camper is on his way ... axel
