Yes, I've seen the Overland Bound build - absolutely next-level metal/wood integration! That removable sleep platform concept with the CNC bracket system is brilliant. We could definitely incorporate something similar, like a pull-out table that doubles as a sleep platform extension. I'd be...
^^Thanks for the great questions!
Drawer Extension: No issues with full extension using solid-state slides. There's passive auto-braking when drawers extend past their center of gravity - they tip forward and contact the carcass top. Just needs a bit more force to pull through to the back...
Hey thanks for the kind words. Given your questions it is clear you seek many of the some criteria this drawer system was designed around. You seek a quiet, robust and modular drawer system that is as good every day as it is on the trail.
Noise: A rattle free system was one of the top design...
We are testing patterns to increase grip/sliding resistance in the cargo area. What do you all think of topo lines? Are they played out or timeless...
I made this particular pattern by exporting elevation data from a local area. Shown here in MDF, final cut would be from all black material.
Hi, good question and thank you! The floor and the middle upright drawer divider (shown below) of the carcass are both 18mm. All other parts in the carcass are 12mm. It was important to make the floor 18mm for crash safety reasons.
Yes, I am yet to find a cost effective way. Something else to consider is you basically just have a very high moment of inertia to weight ratio for each surface with sandwich plate composites. The impact toughness might not be quite acceptable for some uses. It would make nice drawer sides however.
If you have the skills you should build it. An aluminum space frame with bonded honeycomb carbon panels would be pretty light if thats what your going for.
If you can supply the dimensions I will check on that.
The inside drawer height is 10 inches and the length behind the fridge is roughly 13 inches. Note you could relocated the compressor to the inside or outside and get an extra 5 inches of space in the length.
Did you find a solution? I believe the fridge is rated at 40 watts or around 3.4 amps at 12 volts nominal. What is your plug rated for and what is the DC output rating of your battery?
Cheers! Fresh restock on all materials. Who needs a drawer system?
Yes, that was a major drawback to the R1.0 manufacturing process. I have since aqired my own CNC so I can more easily do things like double sided machining. This type of process would be required to cut the drawer faces and the bezel with a continuous grain. There would be a 0.0625" air gap...
