    Here are the pics (I wasn't running late this morning ), we are still in the process of sealing the panels. Just have one more coat an exterior gloss finish and they will be done.

    So the door/table in question will not be covering the opening where the draws are.

    Thanks, I was sick of getting somewhere and lifting everything out of the truck...such as boxes of plates, bowls etc. This way it will all be in the back.

    On the weekend I also made like a cargo net (out of a tape, like dog lead) that will be suspended off the ceiling of the canopy so that the pillows and bedding can be placed in it. That means we can throw the wood and fire bin in the tray etc without making a mess.

    only thing you will have to watch out for is condensation on the roof of the canopy

    mine is a real pain in behind in winter

    I have lined the canopy with wonderwall - it is like a carpet. Bought it at spotlight $8.99mt (about 1.2mt wide from memory).

    At the moment we sleep in the tray (waiting for our new roof tent to arrive) and we don't have a condensation problem. We did before we glued the wonderwall on though.

    The cabinet is nearly finished (just needs some chain so the door doesn't drop).

    Ended up using 3mm chequer plate.

    Yeah I couldn't help myself, it was about $55 but it doesn't flex, suits as a table top and looks good
