The river levels are rising, so much so that we could not drive down to Hebel’s Bend.

The caravan park has relocated all the on-site cabins to higher ground as well as relocating their office.

It is anticipated that the river will rise and fall at least three times over the next six months as water flows into the Murray from its huge catchment area.

All our clothes, towels etc. are carried in plastic tubs and stowed in the cargo area under the bed in the trailer. Once camp is setup these tubs emerge from the bowels of the trailer and take up residence on the floor and commence to discharge there contents over a given area. To combat the mess a cargo drawer would solve the problem.

    A couple of 3 stage drawer slides can be secured on ebay for about $160 for a pair. The length of the storage area needing tobe filled is1400mm, the bearings are 1200mm extending out for the same length so they are ideal. The spiel says the bearings can handle 120kgs per pair. That is a lot of clothes and towels!

    Fasten each of the slides to a piece of 10mm ply wood and bolt both pieces under the bed, securing it to the trailer floor as well. This formed the two walls of the drawer space.

    The drawer can not be the full height of the cavity under the bed, due to the tailgate opening. Fit a lid between the two walls will create a storage shelf approx 200mm high between the top of the drawer space and the underside of the bed – perfect for folded tables and clothes horse.

    The drawer itself is no more than a sliding base with a front on it. Purchase four recycle tubs from Bunnings to sit on the sliding base. The tubs are removeable so they are convenient to pack or unpack at home but whilst we are camping they stay where they are andwill  help keep the campsite tidy.
