Storage has always been tight with the Poptop 17.56.2 with a family of 5. After a lot of head scratching I've installed 5 draws in the back of the van. Pretty happy with the result. Converted the two bottom drop down cupboards to draws. Installed a set of 3 on top of them.
Draws are from Ikea and are self closing $20-$25.
The frame is made on 2 x 1800mm x 900mm x 16mm MDF
With a bit of tazzie oak on top to hold the mattress in place.

Colour coded with semi gloss Dulux "Easily Suede"

Held in place with Velcro.

If you had played it close I could see the orders would be coming in thick and fast, in fact they still might...may need to start an assembly line....looks really great.
