Thread: Making a camp storage cabinet

that looks good and heaps more room still for other stuff

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.

not a bad idea at all

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

Ended up using 3mm chequer plate.

nice ..the chequer plate was probably a bit more expensive but now the whole thing looks very pofessional.
