I thought I'd share the progress of my ongoing custom drawer and platform build for my '15 LC200. I initially wanted to build only a platform to replace my system of using two side-by-side plano boxes with camping/overlands/backpacking gear on top of wich I would then pile on luggage, etc.... This worked, even with my Dometic 55, but was really obnoxious to unload on stops. So I built this initially out of 3/4 plywood and some screws and glue (as simple as it gets). I am not a carpenter or an engineer and this is going to be widely obvious by the workmanship. But the process has been fun and was inspired by countless home builds on this forum.
Not surprisingly, that just left me wanting more. The stability was questionable on the rubber mat with those tiny legs and honestly I just wanted it to look better. So I started with creating wings.
This was OK, but you can see the outline of the lower left wing is off, and the stability and security of the whole system is just awful. So I morphed it into a plate-based system, redid the wings and added a slide out prep table along with carpet and tie downs.
