Behind the wall of toiletries, is a space for “hopefully” 5 backpacks of clothes, a shoe bag and jacket bag:
On the left side of the slide-out is a folding table and shelf with various items…also a spot for the folding dog bowls and leash.
On the right side of the slide-out I cut out some “extra” wood, trying to make it lighter, and realized if I screwed a piece of metal on the front, I could store more stuff. So…I did, and I fit three folding silverware knifes, scissors, a can opener, wine opener, steak knife and cheese grater. I used every bit of space I could:
I made a slot above the folding table to store more stuff…spatula, grill brush, salt n pepper shakers, etc…
I can open the fridge pretty far, and if needed, the lid easily removes. I ordered the 70/30 split top basket for the fridge to make it more user friendly. The split baskets should be able to pull out just fine:
There is a table that folds out, right next to the water spigot. The next part of this build I will tinker with will be a built-in folding sink under the water spigot. I can store a cutting board behind the table area too!
There is a shelf above the water tank that holds a bunch of stuff…a 12-inch skillet, bottle of whiskey, lantern, bag of headlamps, etc.
I slide the grill underneath the heavy floor mat in the dogs area…works great!
On the right side of the slide-out, I left the area open for now. I am not sure what I will do with this area. With the removal of the cargo liner on the side, I have a lot of space here to work with.
Heres a pic of the whole thing.
I weighed the various parts of this build and the total weight, without gear, is about 50 to 55 lbs. I am going to try some ways to lighten it in the future. I am also going to try to find a way to build in or at least store a single burner stove.
I didn't paint anything or really finish it off that nicely, because it is still a test versoin in my mind. It's getting close though...
So this is where it stands now…but I will keep tinkering with it. Needless to say…I am so freaking excited out this new build!!
