Any sheetmetal fabricator or switchboard manufacturer in your area could do this. You could go to one of the electrical wholesalers ie Middy's and ask who they get their electrical switchboards off. There is a possibility that you could also buy this "off the shelf" from a camper trailer manufacturer somewhere too.

My first design was (A) in 2mm.
Then decided to go the straight option (B).
You would think B would be easier and cheaper but both work out the same $?

I'm getting rid of the jerry can and gas bottle holders and putting a box.
