Thread: Single Rear Drawer D4

I actually have two slides, one above the other, on only one side, so the second seat can be used.

I use cam straps that are hooked onto the struts of the folded seat, and then onto the eyelets, and they have worked well on some really rough terrain. Positioning-wise, you can see how they look in my Gallery, but unfortunately I don't have any with the other seat up.

Where is your "my gallery" ❓

I designed and had made a one piece sliding unit that is secured using the current tie down bolts and can easily be removed in minutes with two people holding either side. Works perfectly and can be left in and used every day as it offers a huge amount of functionality. As well it acts as your fridge slide and all you need are tie downs.

That's a great idea Rob. Looks like it works well.
I like the idea your whole cargo slides out.

Unfortunately doesn't solve my single drawer dilemma.

What do you guys think of using a rearmost seat while there is a fridge tied down next to it? Safety wise, is this OK?

Reason I am asking is that we have another child due soon. I have a 50L fridge which sits on one side of the cargo bay tied down with heavy duty straps, and usually behind a cargo barrier. I was thinking of leaving it there, removing the cargo barrier and putting a booster seat for my 6 year old in the seat next to it. I would never do this for a long trip, just for round town, dropping the kids off at school, etc.

Thought it might be relevant to this thread.
Cheers

Lucas thanks for your input and yes very relevant to this thread.

With 4 kids I have no option but to use the 3rd row seat.

This is why I'm searching for a suitable way to secure a single rear drawer base to the middle section.

I plan on having a drawer built with a side wall to separate the passenger and secure the fridge to, see diagram.

I plan on padding the side wall with a dense foam like those gym mats (not the ones you buy off the shelf, they're too thin) and putting a double layer if it allows. This should provide some comfort or protection for the rear passenger.

A quick diagram drawn on my phone in Notes

Sorry, forgot that I can actually link to it.



That's solid as I said, but can be a pain to put on and remove, hence the space to the left of the drawers.
