I posted a thread a while back regarding Adventure Trailer's new product release of a composite drawer system. Since that post, I spoke with the guys at AT numerous times and decided to place an order. I opted for two different sized drawers. A 36A (8.75"high by 33.5" deep) placed next to a 36B (12" high x 33.5" deep).
My reasoning for the multilevel drawers came from me wanting a storage drawer under my ARB fridge, while still trying to keep my fridge relatively low for easy access. The barely pushes 5'. I think with the fridge slide mounted, the drawers will be close to the same overall height. The fridge will be mounted on the passenger side to help offset the vehicle's platform while I'm in it alone.
Included in my order was a Versitrack Lashing system. This consists of two, 36" long aluminum tracks, four anchor points and the mounting hardware.
The drawers arrived via Fed-Ex. As hard as they tried to demolish the contents of the box as evidenced by the box's being totally thrashed, the contents were damage free. A testament to Adventure Trailer's excellent packing job. It was one of those moments that your afraid to open the box and your debating on calling Fed-Ex back to pick them up. I don't know if I would have signed for them, but since I was at work she signed for them without even looking at the box's.
Be wary if the Fed-Ex guy offer's to put your packages in your garage for you.
Enough ranting about Fed-Ex, back to the drawer's. The drawer's arrive in kit form. They come with detailed instructions, high quality hardware and even the required allen wrenches.
Immediately I noticed how heavy the slides were. For some reason, I didn't think they would be that heavy. They are stout for sure. The rest of the hardware is also top notch quality. The Line-X type liner is sprayed on evenly, but had a strong chemical odor when I opened up the shipping box. I'm happy to report that the odor has disappeared over the last couple of days.
The construction process went well on the first drawer and really well on the second drawer.
Here are some pics of them installed in my 80.
You can see that the drawers enjoy full motion of the slides. Everything in the drawer is presented right in front of you. There is no ducking and peeking to see what's in the end of the drawer.
