Nice tidy looking unit there Big Dave. I assume if you have a fridge that sits on top?

Regards A

Thanks & yes I have a Waeco CF50 that sits sideways across the back with a thumber 75ah battery pack behind in a bracket theat I haven't mounted back in yet. I'll see if I can dig up a pic of how we pack the back when on the road.

A CF50 should sit length ways at that height....



Just remove the handles, I also spaced my cargo barrier forwards a small amount at the top as there was a gap between the seat and the barrier, wasted space so I maximised it...

Thanks JJ, Yes I did toy with the idea a few years ago before i got the Thumper that now sits in behind it & I can still open the lid & get into it. Been running with it in this config for 7 years now so all works really well for us.
Cheers Dave.

Hi Big Dave - nice unit! I noticed there appears to be a cut-out at the back of the drawers. Is there a technical reason for that? It would be good to know before getting a whole system assembled then finding out why it needs a cut-out

Yep Bumper there is! If you look closely in the photo's there is a little silver angle hanging down in that cutout. It is what the catch handles lock up against and was stopping the draweres from opening to full extension. I went with a scoop rather than a liittle notch because I thought it looked neater
