For a couple of years now I've been wanting to do some sort of solution to butter out our glamping scenario. My wife's car is an FJ, which is an awesome adventure vehicle, but one that cries out for just a modicum of storage/stowage/work surface modification. This solution satisfied my desire for ease of camping life to my lazy cabinetry ethic. The stove/everything tote slides into its own cubby, the dry goods tote is kept from sliding around with a couple of 1x2's, the right side allows for the inevitable cooler size creep alongside a couple gallons of water and my favorite dirtbag addition is the plywood that fits into the lid of the tote that allows you to turn said tote into a stove surface without melting the Rubbermaid bin and igniting the gallon of white gas contained within. It's the little things I swear! Now forefront in my thinking about this is how do I accommodate any future critter addition to the family. Chocolate lab sleeping deck?
