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.

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.
G'day flo-w,
Top job!

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

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?

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/form...sheet_0966.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.
