Camp Cook Box

Now to start thinking of  the Camping aspect of the trailer.
So far this is how I see it.  When the tailgate is removed it will be attached to the side of the trailer and used as an extension of the work/cooking area. Height of the table will accommodate a seating area. 
In side will be the "Cook Box" containing all of the cooking essentials as well as the dry food storage.
The lid of the box will hold the plates, utensils, paper towels, cups etc...
When open will be fixed upright while Kitchen is in use.
 
Not moving very fast at this point.  Have been trying to do design, how everything will fit and not end up with a 10 ton elephant.
A week ago at a garage sale I picked up an old Coleman Stove #413C that was made in 1947 for $. Kind of a Collector.   Had problems repairing the Generator, ( that's the thing that converts the fuel from liquid to a gas ).  Still working on that.
Anyway, Peg and I went Garage Sale'ing on Saturday and found another Stove , this on is a 413G that came out in 1974. and is just like new. Great buy at $10.00.  We also picked up a nice 2 person Dome Tent, the lady threw it in with the stove for free, nice Lady.

Today I spent assembling The bottom part of the "Cook Box".  On our Saturday adventure I also found an old "SENCO" Staple gun & Pin Gun Air Tools. Couldn't get the Staple Gun working but the Pin Gun works great.  I used the Pin Gun to assemble the box, should have gotten one of these long ago.    Now I need to figure out the top part, the lid and its contents.    Picture to come.
 
Here we are at the camp ground. 
The middle and right cubby holes have the stored items out and in use.  The Colman stove as you can see is in use where it is stored.   Normally we remove the stove and place in on it's own stand.  This allows you to use that shelf for things in use.
