Ok cheapskates.
I’m on my 3rd gen swing out kitchen. I’m pretty happy with it.

Needed materials.
1) scrap plywood 1/2x 14.25 x48”
1) aluminum angle 1.25 x 48”
1) 6mm x 45mm bolt (mine was scavenged from old ikea bed.
1) 6mm x 30mm fender washer
4) tie down loops from Amazon. (Mine are Trekassy). Nice name China.
1) schedule 40 1” rubber irrigation pipe ( from home dopey)
Some self tapping screws/scrap wood. (Used to make stops for the fridge and stove mount).

Optional. ARB / Engel 45 fridge. Husky 2 drawer toolbox, eureka stove (not included in the $30).



I’m using the forward bolt hole of the rear tie down as a pivot. It is not really loaded.

The rubber pipe+the webbing secures the fridge. They are doubled to make them long enough to rest in the gap between tailgate. Then when closed, the pipe is trapped in the gap. (Tested in the desert-didn’t budge over some highspeed whoopdedoos)

There’s a 6” slot in the plywood that allows you to extend the shelf so you can full open fridge.

I used a Forstner bit to make pocket to capture the feet of the drawers.

The paper towel holder works great.

Super easy to set up and brake down. Throw a cam strap over the stove and drawers. Pivot the board back in, drop the anchors in the tailgate gap and your rolling.
 
Nice!!!!!!
