aproblem with making a nice slide out drawer in that space is there is a intruding hump on the side to the base in the sheet metal that wold interfer and cause the drawer to be narrower than the available space under the cabinet..

I decided I could make up some boxes to slip in under the rear cabinet by the engine lid.


Good work!

I have 3 under-floor-boxes for tools and parts in addition.

Cheers,

Hey Volkmar,

That looks great, like the rest of your camper! It seems like that box is in the passenger side, under where the slider door would be in a van, right? Any chance you can post some more photos/details on how you mounted it and how you access it? Do you have to take out the screws to get to the box?

I'm trying to design something similar for my van, and every detail helps. Thanks!
