Made a storage box for our D1 mainly because we wanted somewhere to house a second battery and needed a fridge mount.Units made out of 25x25mm square steel tube and holds 100amp hour batt, ARB Air compressor, inverter and maglite. Also holds mount for engel fridge.

Andrew, VERY nice. Where did you get the cover for your fridge? Mine's (ARB) getting beat up and needs some protection. Great job.

Cargo barrier is a milford and are distributed by ARB over here. Dont know how easy they are to get in the US. Fridge covers are eay to get in AUS and cost about $150 send us and email if you want a site that sells them.

The box isnt that hard to make just a steel frame with timber sides with marine carpet ontop.

Send us an email if you want anymore info.
