This is mine. Bottles in the middle, generator & fuel at one end, hoses in front of the bottles, weber baby q at the other end. Wdh bars sit next to BBQ when not in use, and the rattle gun for the alko legs sits there as well. Squeezebox ladder lies along the front of the box, can get to it from the side.
AFK is in the pole carrier.

Took this while setting it up. Haven't taken any since finalising the packing. The weber babyQ and accessories stored in a weber bag fit in the centre with a strap around them. Gaps in between the gas bottles and bbq are filled in with toilet chemicals, annex walls, gas heater, gas cooker, spare extension cords, etc, etc, etc.
Hi Guys, all great setups. I took my 17.56-1 into work today to get the guys to do some mods for me that I've seen on this forum. Like upgrading the rear bumper to hold a fold down spare wheel and a bike rack. To enable a toolbox to be put on the front. First thing we noticed was that we actually had to remove both gas bottles to be able to pull the spare wheel out. Not a big deal but would've been pretty annoying to discover that out on the road somewhere.
Also, I rang the Apex distributor to order one of those tool boxes like @KevO and @carpanda and @benrosenick but when the guy gave me the dimensions I realised that 500mm is going to be too high for my van. The distance between the top of the draw bar and the bottom of the expanda bed liftout lid on my van is only 450mm. Is this because my van is not an Outback model or did the Apex guy give me the wrong box height?
Also @carpanda I notice you managed to get your gas bottles in front of your tool box. Do you have an extended drawbar which allowed this?
Thanks again for all the ideas and I hope to get something done over the next couple of weeks.
Cheers,
Mick.

Here is my toolbox setup. Love the front opening. Still have access when bed is setup.
Ours also is 500mm high but we do have the Outback model... Can't help in regard to the touring model!
Hi @CrazyMOBB I really like your design and think I can get away with it if I drop the height of the box section down to 450mm. Any chance you can let me know who did that for you? Would be much appreciated.
Thanks @carpanda I've got the misfortune of both not getting the OB and not getting the extended drawbar. Mistakes which I will regret until I sell and start over.Hi @mooks yeah I have extended drawbar. If we need to get anything out from top of tool box we need to do it before bend end is out. But usually we just use the opening of the sides of tool box. Only thing that won't fit out of side is the weber q.

Josinet in west gosford, central coast. Google them. I dealt with Paul. Fantastic team.
This what I run on the expanda and kept for the StarCraft. Just gotta move the gas bottles again, although mounting them inboard on a cradle this time. This box with the slides and dimensions was made for an expanda. I may not travel with a genie anymore so may make or buy a smaller one.
