I agree with you Greg.
I have had a Black Widow twin drawer system with built-in slide, first in my Jackaroo, then transferred to the Colorado.
The flexibility they give just can't be realised until you have used them.
When the fridge is not installed, I have a flat platform which is practical for a multitude of cargo carrying purposes.
Underneath, one of the drawers holds all my recovery equipment, plus compressor (in a portable box), 12 volt nut wrench, tyrepliers, etc.
The other draw holds a
first aid kit and a multitude of other equipment I carry full time in the vehicle.
Wth the fridge installed and camping equipment stacked everywhere else in the canopy, I still have full access to the drawers and their contents.
The drawer system (originally for the Jack) doesn't extend the full distance of the Colorado tub, so there is a gap of about 400mm from the rear of the drawer system to the edge of
the tub, just perfect for the auxiliary battery on one side (in an ABR Flyer) and a space for other stuff. like a carton or two:-) in a
well like enclosure, against the forward bulkhead of
the tub.
The Black Widow drawer system was meant to be a one off lifetime investment and by purchasing a "wing kit" at a fair price, to enable installation in different vehicles, it has thus proven to be extremely practical and cost effective.
Must be close to 9 years old now and still operating faultlessly.
I just wouldn't like to be without a drawer system.
