As all of us know, each option we choose for our overland adventure fun is a compromise in one way or another. Over three years, thousands of adventure miles and a lot of nights in the wilds ago, I opted for a FWC shell to have as much room as possible on the inside, plus I thrive on that minimalist thing.
While I have the inside stove and furnace option, there was basically no inside storage, no counter-top space as it's used up by the two-burner stove and the area just inside the door on the passenger side was wasted space as it is too narrow to sit, and oddly shaped for storing gear.
Below are pics of my custom cabinet build. It did a few things for us:
1. Made far better use of the space than previously
2. Gave us a ridiculous amount of inside cabinet storage space
3. Gave us counter-top space with back-splash and a nice more complete "kitchen" area with one side for cooking and one side for prep
I attempted to keep it as close to OEM as possible, using the same hardware, screws, knobs, colors and edges as FWC, plus I re-used the table originally provided by FWC as the counter-top, so it matched the stove side cabinet and counter-top.
