Hi folks,

Just wondering if anyone can point me in the direction of where I might purchase a large gullwing fridge box to add to the drawer bar of my camper? I'm in Victoria, and the camper is a Pod trailer but ant such box should fit as I've extended the drawerbar considerably.

Thanks

I realise you are in Victoria, so this may not help.

Pioneer Camper Trailers in Perth will sell a gullwing storage box separately. Not cheap though, about $2K.

Thanks Cozzie. I had already seen the Pioneer site but didn't know they would retail the box ... a bit too expensive for my budget. Thanks for the advice though.

Well, that is interesting about Pioneer being sold to a company in Victoria.

There's no indication on the website as to whether they will move over there or not, and I can't see a factory address on it.

From my experience with 2 Pioneer Campers, there was certainly room for improvement (this was a few years ago). If they use Australian Off Road Campers as a yardstick they should benefit.

Thanks John. Can't quite make out the manufacturer ... I will check their site. Might not be deep enough but it's a step in the right direction. thanks

Try hereXtrail scroll down to stainless steel products.
Its a .PDF file so I cant post it directly on here.

They make a SS Gull Wing box along with their kitchens and water tanks etc.

No affiliation other than I have one of their kitchens in my camper trailer.

Thanks again John. I'll email XTrail and get a price. It certainly is about the right dimensions - I was hoping to get it in alumimium but I'll check out the weight of the SS. Thanks, Dave O

Hi,
I am just having an HJ47 prepared in Brisbane for a trip, and have just bought 2 gullwing boxes, one of which easily fits a 50lt waeco fridge. Prices and quality excellent, worth a look,
I am from the UK, so have had to do lots of web surfing, before I arrive in a couple of weeks.

Cheers,
Tony.

Thanks for the tip there ACKS. What model box did you get to fit your Waeco? They certainly look the goods on the website.

Cheers,

Dave

Hi Dave,

I got 2 of the TR022, 3/4 gull wing, 1500Lx800Hx500D, plenty of space and the waeco lid can fully open with the 800 high. Guess the 1200 would fit ok.

Also got a TR042 1500 chest.

Excellent value for money, the guys who are doing my truck are now recommending them.

Hope you get sorted.

Cheers,
Tony.
