Am in the midst of installing air cond to the County. See Pics attached.

Before I fix the Cargo Barrier in it's final position can anyone tell me the length of a normal drawer set if there is such a thing as normal. If you look in the photo's you'll see that the solar panels fit neatly between the back seat and where the barrier is now. I would hate to find out that I missed out on fitting a standard drawer set by 50mm or something stupid.

The rear of a county is about 2 inches longer than a Defender.

The depth of a drawer is really set by the length of a drawer slide that is how far a drawer can slide out to get access. I have made them the length the slides allow access and then pack heavy tools and spare heavy items in the dead space forward of the rear wheels. I found a false floor accross the wheel arches the best option and the best flexibility with gear in Plastic 'Nally" tubs and clothes in soft sailing bags.
By time you make a drawer the hinges take too much room and you lose storage.

The real problem I have found is locating a fridge with a drawer.

Pete,

Dolium show their drawer depth as 1150 for a Tdi / TD5. Have a look at there website for more info.

You are more than welcome to look at my homemade one at the next club meeting in December if you like.

Thanks John , I will do at the Xmas meeting.

The 1150 gives me a starting point though , so 1150 in from the back door it is then
