Another storage system: mine

[Flo-w]

Before I started with my own storage system I got some inspiration from what other people had posted. I hope to provide part of this information now myself.

I've gone for a fridge slide for a 50l Waeco and two drawers.

One drawer is for the kitchen with 2-burner stove and gas bottle, space for a plastic sink, an extra table and a side-facing drawer for cutlery and the like. Both, table and side drawer, have push-to-upen rails.

The other drawer is for food, pots and pans. Only special thing about it is the variable dividers to keep things organized in different situations.

Awsome job mate i like your carftsmanship nicely done. Whats the recess in the front of the draw for?

[Flo-w]

Thanks mate. The recess fits a part of the barn door. Gives me 5cm extra (about 30l). Can't have too much space.

Looking at the pics, its like the swiss army knife of storage systems, great work mate :thumbup:

[Flo-w]

Cheers!
It's just not as precisely engineered as a swiss army knife. ;)

[choochie]

Nice effort. But to finish it off with staples?? Were you drunk?? Lol

*blush*
They guy at Bunnings recommended double sided tape. Which I tried, even though I didn't trust it. And right so.
Should have used some glue?

Only special thing about it is ...

Mate, the whole thing is special! Thx for sharing the pics and ideas.

Well done. I'm impressed. Like you said, different situations require different stuff and it'd be so easy with your set up.

Take care out there.

Looks good ..... But I'm a bit worried about that gas bottle being on it's side.

Cuppa.

[threedogs]

X 2 with Cuppa great job and well thought out ,its just carrying a full bottle of gas inside the vehicle. Maybe some how you can have the hose vacant, and just a matter of hooking bottle up every stop.
I think it is by law not to carry Gas bottles in confined spaces, Safety comes first in all things 4x4. Maybe cannisters are different?

[Cuppa]

I'm not sure of the legalities of carrying small lpg bottles inside the vehicle, lots of car based campers obviously do. However the state authorities say to carry them inside a container that is vapour tight to the inside of the vehicle, & vented to the outside of the vehicle. http://www.workcover.nsw.gov.au/formspublications/publications/Documents/transporting_of_small_gas_cylinders_fact_sheet_096 6.pdf

I am more concerned about the bottle being transported on it's side. As I understand it, this is major explosion waiting to happen & an absolute NO NO. The bottle has a pressure relief valve at the top, which MUST be in contact internally with vapour, NOT liquid gas. In the right circumstances (i.e. inside a very hot car) the pressure relief valve can release gas. If the bottle is on it's side, instead of gas being released, liquid gas will be released. A small amount of liquid equals a large amount of gas. One spark, (static, a switch, lighting a smoke etc) & KABOOM!, no more car, driver or passengers. Further I have read that if the valve seal remains in contact with the liquid gas for long periods, that this will eventually cause the seal to leak. I also read somewhere that IF an LPG cylinder has been transported on it's side that it should be stood upright for at least 30 minutes before use.

I am no expert on this stuff, just repeating what those who know have said elsewhere. Better safe than sorry.
