Have had one of these units for exactly 4 years next week. It's fine.
Drawer unit has heaps of gear on it[cooking gear, shelf unit, tucker, water, booze, i.e. all the essentials for touring]. there is a total of approx 200 kg loaded on the top of the dawer unit; the space is jammed full to roof line - no probs with any functionality issues.
I carry a heap of rough gear in the right hand drawer - tyre repair gear, tools, lights, 2 x
camp ovens {they are heavy buggers) - the drawer slides
well & latch is still OK. Left hand drawer carries all the cutlery, plates, mugs & drinking vessels, & food type items. It has a drop-in, laminated, thin, mdf sheet that is used as a work surface / table for lunch on the road.
Have been in much rough country - chassis twisting, bouncy up & down travel over approx 70,000 km - no loss of functionality.
I put an alumiinium trim on the leading edges to protect them.
I bought a fridge slide from there also - same as above.
They are not absolutely top-of-the-wazza products in terms of fit & finish, and I did not have to pay those over the top prices that the leading brands/retailers ask. I am not sure I need to pay for over engineered and over built units. Those units are fine, just not needed by me.
I'm a satisfied customer, & Paul, the propreitor has taken some suggestions on board & built special eqpt to order. He will have a crack at almost anything!
Cheers

Rick,
Where did you get them? Are they only available in SA? I couldn't find a website for them, just the phone number.
Any idea on price?
Thanks,
Matt.
