Ok What a Story to remove the rear seats from the Touareg
But got them out
Had a 2 drawer - 4 ammobox system available
To fitin the rear of the Treg and a 65Liyer Snomaster fridge for the Right side

So I enlisted the help of our fellow 4x4 mate Paul to.build me a frame for all this in the back

I also acquired a Big Country Alliminium Roof rack with brackets for a Touareg
Rack was a bit worse for Weare
I enlisted the Ally cleaner/Scrub brushes and Elbo grease
Cleaned it up nicely with a few marks I still want to get sorted then I can fit the rack
Will post pics as soon as it is fitted

Also got the new Victron system installed in Shadow the trailer

Once I've completed the frame with the slides and storages I'll post some photos and give more info on the build.

I've fabricated the basic framework and it's mount points that use the existing seat mount points and the tiedown points in the rear area. I've done the frame for the fridge and fitted the two slides on the right side of the frame. I am busy mounting the box Pierre supplied on the left side of the frame. There is still a raised stowage to be fabricated in front of the fridge. I'm putting a panel in next to the side of the fridge so anything stored in the gap between the fridge and the stowage box, won't fall behind the fridge when it's pulled out.

Below are a few photos of the work so far.

Above shows a section of the frame with a mount bracket for the aft area.

In the photos above the frame is clamped the my welding table for the fitting of the additional items.

A pic of "Oom" Paul.

Frame taking shape
Compressor was aimed to fit between the Fridge and Drawer frame but space to little

I front of the Fridge is a bit of slider space available we are fitting the Compressor for easy accessibility when overlanding
