Dirk, 425mm long, 370mm wide and 175mm deep.

Carel it bolts to the holes that usually hold the third row of seats, the seat belts and the lashing points.

However, with what I am envisaging selling, the mountings would not be included, thus giving the byuer more options in terms of where and how he wants to install them.

Between back seat and the drawer system is a 50l water tank and battery set-up.

I will try and place what I would like in the drawer system loose in the Troll and take a pic, then design around that, think this would be the best option for me personally.

Will place the 3 different fridges that I have and then see how the drawer would fit and the size left for a drawer.

Peter, should I decide to build my own according to my fridges ets, would you still be willing/able to make the "boxes" for me according to my drawer size?

I love those boxes :biggrin:

Dirk, we can look at it. Just be aware that in order to make it cost-effective, the drawer sizes may need to be compromised slightly.

The laser cutting places do not stock thin sheeting, as they damage easily. Thus they force you to buy a whole sheet, even if you just want to use a sliver off the end...

Hello Dirk,

At our company we sell a lot of plywood. And cut it up and build custom solutions for various projects, mostly for special shapes and architechtural designs as well as special finishes.

Our company is an Austrian company, part of the Green building society, and we have our own plywood factories in Slovakia and Austria. The plywood is of exceptional quality, the high-end stuff also have a phenolic resin coating and comes in 4mm, 9mm, 13mm, 15mm and 21mm. there is also a type that has a polymer surface coating if you require exceptional durability and wear and tear resistance.

The benefit is that with the workshop, with quality table saws etc, I can arrange for the plywood to be cut to size and depending on the work at any given point in time, there may be off-cutts and part sheets available that can be sold at discounted rates. New full sheets is expensive though, but the quality is unrivalled to anything else available.

Have a look on the website: http://www.doka.com/web/products/system ... dex.en.php

Regards

Marnus
