Thread: Rear drawer/fridge slide systems for L322?

That looks pretty neat Scott. Bit different in the RRV though, as you have to physically lift the spare out of the wheel well rather than wind it down as per the Disco and RRS. So it has to be something that can be easily removed wholly from the cargo space, which makes for a whole different ball game.

Greg, they will make anything you like, so I was going to have one drawer too - but ended up with just the box. Give them a call! They probably have my measurements etc still on file. Drifta don't know this but I did need to put a 1cm thick clark rubber base under the new floor as when you pull the fridge out loaded it JUST scraped on the end of the tailgate. So, floor could have been a little thicker - not their fault ofcourse!


I did have to cut a small (2cm) amount of the rear of the box lid/roof as I forgot the cargo barrier intrudes a few centimetres when in place - but it was easy and you cant see it anyway. I also had to do a bit of running around to find bolts long enough to go through the (my home made) brackets which attach to the base of the floor and sit above the tie down point floor threads (once you remove the tie down points themselves); these bolts then reach down into the existing tie down point threads (ie I couldn't use the factory chrome allen key bolts as they are too short. I'm trying to find a better (read: neater) way of securing the floor to be honest, but it has served me well so far!

That looks about what I need Chris, I'll give them a call. What did they charge you for that by the way?
And how much of a pain is to get at the spare?

I think the box was about $350 (fridge slide was priced separately) but it should be on their website. Getting to the spare means taking fridge out, undoing 4 bolts and then lifting out the floor/box (which I did by myself). Given how rarely I anticipate a flat tyre ever happening - I was not too fussed (bear in mind I had the spares on the roof on recent off road trip). In addition, when towing the van I have ability to have a spare mounted on front of van (in place of the 2nd spare van wheel).
cheers

Last time I went away with my L322 I put the my 50 lt fridge on the passenger side rear floor. The seat was folded up. Fitted quiet well. Still had room on other side for a child seat. Everything else went in the back.

If there is only 2 travellers you could even remove the rear seat altogether & fit a false floor to the uneven section.

Hi.
Here is further update on my rear draw system. This is fridge slide with storage draws. In progress with putting carpet on.

Greg: I have many photos of how we set up our car. I wanted a fridge slide and drawers that would be easily removed, would fit with rear seats in "up" position and give plenty of fridge capacity. I use an Engel with a "Two-Zone" attachment and it worked well for us on a 6 week trip.
We had one puncture on Tanami and even though I had a second spare on pack rack my wife and I removed the drawers and fridge in under 10 minutes and used the regular spare so that I did not have to lift the wheel back to the roof.
Of course I had to make it myself.
The system secures to the 4 tie-down points built into the car.
Happy to assist if I can be of help.
Other photos show load rack, water bladder, flat floor in rear etc.

What cargo cage are you using there?
