Give Kerry a ring at Barrington Marine down in in O'Connor.

Will custom make and modify to your needs, finish brilliant and price is better than Rosco's. That's one on the back of my rig - note the tool boxes.

I don`t where abouts you are located, but KG Sheetmetal products in Albury custom make all this sort of stuff to your specs.

www.kgsheetmetal.com.au/ (website under construction at the moment but can still send an email for enquiries.)

If your looking for a quote, give them all the details you can. Such as, needs to be water proof, have chrome T-bar locks or flush fitting locks, drawers on bearing slides, adjustable shelving, if its to be made from mild steel and powder coated or made from aluminium etc etc.

I had mine custom made from aluminium. Couldn't get exactly what I wanted off the shelf. Not cheap though, but its a bit of an investment - can be transferred to my next vehicle if need be.

Its a great way to camp - go for it.

Cheers
Phil
