Go to a Drawer System manufacturer to put one in for you, then pay them the money. Google them!

If you haven't been put off by the rapier-like wit of the above replies, and don't want to spend $1000, you could do what we did. Get a sheet or two of CD structural ply, 15 or 16 mm from memory, and make a box that fits pretty tight. Make two or three boxes that sit in there; these can pull out and form your kitchen. We put drop down legs on one.


I guess we can get away without fixing in the back of the hilux, in the Vitara you would need to make a couple of fixings for a safe and proper job.

We leave it in 99% of the time, but can just slide it out if the original space is needed. We are not yet (quite) nomads, so it's adequate for our occasional use.

We planned it out first, then got the plywood supplier to do most of the cuts for only a nominal fee.

Regards, John.
