trailer kitchen box

[UK4X4]

making your own "d***ta" would not be an issue plans or not, they have the exterior dimensions, print and scale what you need of the photographs

Invent your own preferences, ie change and adapt for the usual things you bring.

Making ply wood box's /structures is pretty easy and if you plan well, you can get the main cuts done at Home depot......

I'm not a dove tail type of guy, but a panel pin screw and extra strong wood glue structure is pretty tough.

Then give them credit for your inspiration.....

There are very few original ideas....."tuck box's" and the like came from the British Army

Where they needed to ship and have the comforts of home.........The Orificers mind you, not the enlisted men.

and no that's not spelt wrong......although lots of other words normally are in my posts........

What model do you have? Do you want to sell it? Sounds/looks like it might be nice with my Chaser instead of the small Action Packers I'm using now?

Yeah, it's a well-thought-out setup. I used it when my trailer was just an open-box Sankey, and everything came out in camp. With the modular cabinets and shelves of my Campa, the Grubby One no longer really makes sense though.

ANy one thought of Contacting Campa and purchase a kitchen box off their trailer. Since the Campa is modular buying the box would be no problem.

Size 10" x 43" x 24".

Mounted directly behind the Main Container.

Fold down door.

Fluorescent lamp.

Hinged plate on door for mounting of propane burners.

I'd be happy to sell mine. It hasn't seen use in two or three years. I'll have to dig it out of deep storage, give it an inspection, and take some pictures. It's an older model than the current Grubby One. Mine sets up like this:

...rather than with the shelves on either side. It was the fanciest fit and finish they offered at the time, with laminated top and shelves, and includes the wash tubs, dish drainer, drawers, etc.

I'd guess Chris Cole (Campa's owner) would sell his kitchen solo. Might be pricey, though. I have an almost-three-year-old Campa price list which shows it as over $1,000:

Here's another picture (mine in its original configuration):

I did some quick measurements of my Chaser #15 and unfortunately the Campa box is to high/wide to attach it to the back of the trailer. Too Bad.

Where does the stove store away at? there does not look like there is enough space when you close the lid.

Markus, the three racks on the right (glasses, mugs, and plates/spices) all pivot forward, which is the configuration you see in the photo. For stowage, they pivot back. In stowed mode,the glasses, mugs, plates, etc. are all at 90° vertical, recessed back from what you're seeing. For use, they tilt forward for easier access. With the racks tilted back, there is room for the stove.

Weel keep in mind thought he Partner stove alone is $300. plus all the custom cabinetry work. It's fully welded to gether. For the quality of it the price is about right on. Plus the new units have a flat deck that the stove sits on. The old units did not have a flat deck so you could not jsut wipe off stuff when cleaning you had to pick up any bits and pieces. Now that issue is solved if you look closely at the the pick I proved vs what you provided you will see the difference in the stove platform and the stoves. I think your is a primus unit.

I really like the Bluesky Kitchen stuff. Looks really good and appears well built.

However, I would also prefer a box that can be set up for a few days without having to repack it. With the Bluesky stuff the lids double as legs and stuff, so you have to disassemble it to close it.

If you are interested in the DIY approach, googling 'patrol box' or 'chuck box' will return a few sets of plans that may be useful for ideas.

Here's a good start.

Here's one done in Aluminum.

Assuming it still seals well against dust, that flat deck would be a big improvement over mine. As you said, crumbs end up in the hard-to-reach recesses.

The stove in my previous shot was the Brinkmann Campa originally installed, which didn't prove up to the task. I've subsequently converted to the Partner Steel model.

I know this isn't a new thread, but here are some photos of the chuck box my father made in 1960 to fit between the wheel wells in the family CJ-3B. (There is another matching storage box that fits between the chuck box and seats in the CJ-3B, not pictured.) The chuck box was later used in our Bantam trailer starting in 1966. I refinished the outside of box in 2005 when I restored the trailer. (My father had stored the trailer under a tarp in my brother's chicken coop for 25 years after he last used it in the mid 1970's. He gave it to me in 1998. Amazingly enough, the inside of the chuck box was perfect and needed no work. All of the camping gear in it was still in perfect condition. I guess there is a lot to be said for tight fitting joints.)

Beautiful! I'm curious to see the rest of the trailer and your restoration.
