Here is a drawer I installed to our van.

When set up I slide it out half way and use it as a second bench top together with my Camp kitchen

That's great! How much does it weigh? I thought about doing similar but the weight put me off. That looks nice, Simple and basic, good job. Can you post a photo of the under carriage of that draw so I can copy it before you put a patent on it.

love this idea, I get sick of trying to reach that one thing that always seems to be just out of reach or unpacking things to get something that has made its way to the middle. Where did you get your drawers bent up???? Is the drawer in one piece or two, if two, you could slide half out each side of van

With my Good looks I could have been a hand model you know lol

Where I park the van in the garage you can't access one side of the hatch so now I pull the draw out and drag the stuff out

Great job. I'm looking at doing the same with a front box on the a-frame. My biggest problem is finding the 2-way slides/rail. where did you get yours?
