DIY Cabinet on one side of the 4wd

If he has one kid in the back he wont be legally able to install a cargo barrier which is dangerous to have the kid beside a fridge that heavy and also for the people in front of it.

Is a bit of an awkward one to say the least

Hi john,
I have made up a double draw setup in my 100 ser with the fridge on top of the draws on the left,I bought a fridge slide and was able to weld a 20mm X 20mm box tube frame to suit the cage I then covered the sides and back in mesh and put a ply top on it so I coud do the same as you and store soft stuff like sleeping bags jackets towles ,I think at the end of the day that stuff has to come with us and be stored somewhere so why not there? I can also remove the draws on the right as it comes in 2 halves and put a seat back in,I also agree that a cargo barrier is not safe when a passenger is in the back so either put in a half barrier or just make the cage as I did ,one other thing my Engel is only a 40ltr wich leaves me alott of room above Im not sure with yours and if I built draws again I might have mounted the fridge on the floor as well because my wife and I a little bit height challenged LOL! we just came back from a 10 month trip and it all worked well so just have a good think and do what you are doing now ( getting ideas before building) and Im sure it will all come together .

Regards John.

Hey Dereki, these days the only direction they look is up at the overhead LCD ,the back of the headrest in front of them or at there IPOD/gameboy LOL!

Not like the old days of I spy HMMM! LOL!!

Yep.

We already are planning to have a campertrailer (with boatcarrier for extra storage) plus also a roof rack on the car.

9 months on the road with 4 kids (and associated school stuff, clothing, food, camping stuff, etc) does mean we need to make the most of all the space we have.

But then that is also the point of the trip - seeing what we can leave behind / live without.

A lot of the planning is trying to determine what are essentials... It is actually a fun process to go through as you slowly realise that many things are not essential.

If any of the opffspring are around 13 or so, you might want to "leave behind / live without. "
