I can't put it off any longer. The old diy layout for the Dmax fitted ok but I need to change things around because the Cannon does not have a long range tank - which means jerries, and jerries need to be easy to fill, which means moving the fridge, and the fridge needs to easy to fill, which means moving the toolbox....sigh. Also the back seat area is a different shape and we now have a dog.

My ladder and chairs used to lay on top of everything but will now slide under. I first made it in one piece but it was way to heavy for me to lift and cutting it in half makes it much easier to get in.

Jerries are easy to access - I'm hoping no one notices me filling them as they are right next to the filler door and I've 3d printed a drip tray that fits in the necks so any spills with run outside the open window. The fridge is fine on the other side - easy to access via the other window. The honda generator is rarely used these days so it will slide all the way back between to fridge and the jerries and sitt over the strong centre supports.

Next job is make custom shape boxes for the jerries etc and figure out how to stop things moving around but easy to slide out if necessary
