Thanks KB, food for thought, I also like to put the kitchen away at night so as not to get the local wildlife going through it.

Cups, glasses and plates etc in the drawers and cupboard.  Food in the tucker box.  As for little furry creatures in the night, nothing to see here, move along  ;D ;D

Any reason why you wouldn't go all 3, DPOR, tucker box and full length storage box?

Great idea the storage box and would have bought it except it didn't fit our table nor our chairs.  Just a smidgen too narrow.  We could have bought different chairs etc but decided not to.

Down here you pretty much have to to keep the cold out.. it makes a massive difference to the temp in the bed/tent at night ....

I will vouch for the set up KB has mate. That kitchen is awesome. As a chippy looking at it, the work and thought that has gone into it to make it all work and fold up, but give you so much bench space is just great.

I suppose their is no reason you couldn't get a canvas draft curtain made to velcro over the opening of the tailgate.  Similar to the wind break canvas under the trailer.

You don't pack the chairs on top of the canvas?

Seriously considering this setup.
