Dunga71 Build

[Duck]

You better not leave it unattended at Fraser this year or you may come back to a red triton with exactly the same canopy on the back, how strange you say to yourself I thought it was a one off...

[Dunga71]

Waiting for my ally to turn up so i can start the canopy,so i hopped in a made a start on my drawer system.

[Unstableimage]

Oooh a draw build. Can't wait for more pics.

So you going just one sliding draw on the right?

[Dunga71]

Yeah mate,had to drop the fridge to the bottom level because of its size so one big drawer instead of 2 small useless ones.I just wish they could make the tub a bit squarer alot of cutting templates for a good fit on the top lids.

[Dunga71]

Bit more done on the drawers today,switches and gauge turned up so i fitted 3 rockers dual 12v socket wich i robbed 1 hole for my Baintek volt gauge just so happened to fit ,compressor out let and a water outlet.
Started on the carpeting,pain in the arse job that is going to be.

[Dunga71]

Bit more done today

[Duck]

Looking schmiko mate But like I have said plenty of times before you need to make 2 of everything, 1 a bit shorter than the other Can't wait to see the finished product. Maybe in the flesh, Are you running Fraser again, I am booked for August

[Dunga71]

Fraser is my selfish holiday, I never go with more than 2 people or find it hard to fit in the 16 hours of fishing a day, Well I'll be able to give you a trip report before you go, hopefully with the dewy's locations

[Dunga71]

That would be great thanx Duck

[Dunga71]

Nearly done,making the drawer out of left over Ally from my canopy,picked up a 60lt water tank on friday, thats fitted,electrics next.

[whiteonedifflock]

Very nice .

[ultimate]

Very nice set up!

[Dunga71]

Finished fitting and plumbing up the water tank today and lined the fridge compartement with some left over carpet.

[Duck]

Looks great mate

[Dunga71]

Came up with this bench idea using left over ply from my drawer build,seems to work OK
Cut down some adjustable tent poles for the legs

Made some wind walls they slip over the tent pole ends and some steel dowell along the back

The drawer when finished properly will come right out to the table for easy access to the tucker

All stacks away under the drawer

Looking good! Can't quite see from the photos - do you have a latch or lock or something to keep the drawer closed, or does it pretty much stop against the inside of the tailgate?

Thanks for helping finalise my idea Dunga I've been wanting to do it for a while.... Pics and info to come when I actually do it!!
Draws are coming along nicely!!!!

[Dunga71]

Oldie i am making and alluminium draw with the leftovers from my canopy build,i am not having rollers, i dont see the need as it is supported by the tail gate when pulled out. It should stay put during normal wheeling,but as you said it can only go as far as the tail gate,if it becomes a problem i will put a locking mechanism of some sort on it.
Oh so i thought of your idea did i Dan,sorry about that Ha ha ha, looking foward to seeing your idea bench build

[Duck]

You'll have to seal the timber well, with all of the fish blood & guts from your next fish murdering expedition

[Dunga71]

Too hot to start the canopy today so i finished of the bench/kitchen

[Kegsy]
