Sounds good, it's the side window mouldings which are more of a problem!

I would buy a Mobile Storage Systems one but the cheapest I can get it so far is £240 through Trekoverland

- too much anyway but too much to justify on a box, especially one that needs the back cutting out etc. The Barebox one is £90 but is obviously isn't of the standard of the MSS one...

Trek own MSS now so they will give the best price (in theory). They are dear but very good, we had the full drawers in the DC and I put one of their small storage chests in the 90. John

I've come to the same conclusion about quality John. For the sake of £50 for something I will be using for twenty odd years until I snuff it, it will pay to get the best. I have just ordered one

Agreed, We left the boxes in the DC as we had no use for them and got a good price with them left in.

I left the MSS cubby and the small chest in the 90 as the better half now owns it

Now fitted and decided to put it the correct way up although it can be put on it's side with the door flapping down. It sticks out by about 1.5" over the wheel box this way on a Puma SW because of the thicker window moulding but the room inside is better utilised. It's a nice bit of kit and would recommend them...

The shelf for the household items is a nice touch. Did that cost much?
