Installing 4wd storage drawers is a great way to maximize the amount of gear you can store in your 4WD camper, but it’s important to keep an eye on the weight.
If you don’t have enough room for everything, consider packing some items into smaller bins and reserving space for other essential items. Here are some ways to get the most out of your drawer system during your camping trip:
Pack the essential first
If you’re going to use 4wd storage drawers for your camping trip, it’s important that you take the time to pack them with essential items. The goal is to make sure that when you open up a drawer for some reason or another, everything will be there and ready to go!
Put heavy stuff at the bottom of your drawers. This means things like tent poles, sleeping bags, and sleeping pads—things that weigh more than 8kg (17lb).
Keep light things towards the top of your drawers so they can be accessed easily when needed, but don’t end up getting lost in all that other junk down there!
Add an emergency kit.
Store it in the bottom drawer. You can use a plastic bin or even a cardboard box. Be sure to add some kind of padding so that your kit doesn’t get damaged when you open and close the drawer repeatedly over time.
Keep first aid items in the second drawer: gauze pads, bandages, etc. These should be kept away from sharp objects such as scissors which can easily cut through them if they get caught up in something else (like thread).
Add fire extinguishers for safety reasons: these should also be placed away from any other objects so that they don’t accidentally activate unexpectedly (especially during emergencies).
Consider drawer dividers to pack more gear into less space.
To get the most out of 4wd storage drawers, you should consider using drawer dividers. These can help you pack more gear into less space by separating items that need to be kept apart, such as fragile items and larger items. They also create more room for smaller items like food and water bottles or toiletries.
Keep an eye on the weight.
To make sure that you’re not carrying too much weight, the first thing to do is keep an eye on how much stuff you’re carrying. Keep in mind that things like water and food will add weight to your load, so it’s important to plan your trip with these items in mind.
If you want to keep things light, consider using lighter materials for your gear—for example, instead of using plastic bottles for storing drinking water (which can be heavy), use spring-loaded aluminum bottles instead of glass ones.
Conclusion
To summarise, we’ve covered what to pack in the drawer, how to make your trips safer by keeping multiple activities in mind when packing, and how to avoid breaking a drawer when you need it most.
Again, make sure that your vehicle is equipped with an appropriate hitch and safety chains for carrying additional weight. And if you’re making this transition on your next journey into 4WD camping territory—we hope it happens soon
