and i will use the "T" handles like u have as well

how much did the materials cost?
hinges
rollers
handles
timber
carpet

i estimated about 300-400 when i was looking into making one.
the only thing i add is some eyelets and a secure place to mount them for tieing down a fridge or something.

what about hinging the front of that top compartment at least the u can kinda get in there when u got stuff stacked on top of it and lets face it that will be every camping trip

Wow thanks for the replies
I'm not dead sure on the cost but it came to about $200 in components if I remember correctly. (Locks, Hinges, sliders, gas struts etc.)
Then I used 2 sheets of 12mm Marine ply which were about $60 each I think. My school payed for 1 sheet and all the screws etc. so it reduced the price a bit.
The carpet was also marine stuff which was about $30 p/sqm and if memory serves me right I used about 2.
I still have to do the last bit of work on it to install the locks for the top and put the drawer striker plates in.
I still want to get some tie down points in the lid but cant find any I like.
Tassie your point on the front section might still be considered but for now the plan is to use that compartment for cans as its about the perfect height.
