M & M
I have seen a variety of storage setups in troopys iduring my travels. All coming from the owners imagination and inventiveness to suit their particular needs.
However in July this year (yep! 2003) I saw one in the
Tibooburra caravan park which was rather unique.
This guy and his wife had just come in from crossing the
Madigan Line so it was no bleep y machine or outfit affair.
He is like myself had vowed never to sleep on the ground again whilst there is a better alternative.
Anyway he had all his floor drawer and shelve storage space in there including the fridge, however ( I'll try and describe this so so can see it in your minds eye) he had a bed for himself along the the drivers side situated just below window level and for his wife he had this ingenious setup behind her
seat.
They laid her
seat forward and slid this ply board (5 ply) strip forward so that it attached to the dash (I think so from memory) or might have sat on the dash.
It was designed for her height. Now without meaning to be rude, to live in a troopy its more comfortable if you are of 'medium build'. Know what I mean.
His whole setup was removable and would not have cost all that much.
It might be what you have in mind.
He had other
home made inventions in there for storage such as a laptop holder (also) dash mounted which I am going to pinch for my vehicle.
This might give you an idea or two.
Just remember we are only restricted/hindered by the scope of our imagination.

Ken
