I looked at several commercially available storage solutions, but none of them really met my requirements. So I designed my own. I have a nice OZ Tent for camping but I also wanted a sleeping platform big enough for 2 people, for those nights where I don't want to mess setting it up. I needed to have my 60L Engel fridge easily accessible and I wanted plenty of storage. The only way all that was going to happen was to keep the fridge low as possible and build a sleeping platform on top. Here's my initial design.
And then a CAD model
The fridge is on the left, sitting on the large slide from Front Runner. The right side is sized to accommodate 4 Front Runner Wolf Packs.
The sleeping platform will unfold and stretch out over the folded down second row seats. The gray pieces are the fit kit which will have to be sized once the main box is fitted into the LC.
Using 15mm thick Baltic Birch, I got started on Phase 1 today, The Main Box...
Test fit
That's as far as I got today. I should be able to get most of the rest tomorrow.
