Specifically interested in drawer boxes and toolboxes? Going to be building out a camper van over the next couple of years. Looking for a couple of shallow tool/storage boxes for up in the roof rack similar to these… Also interested in a couple of drawer boxes (one shallow and one deep) stacked under a bench seat in the back of the van that reclines into a bed. I have no experience or knowledge of this company but looking at their products on line seems like they might work for my application. Just curious if anyone has experience with this company and their products. Thanks! Our van will look similar to this one. It’s scheduled to be built next month…

Cannot help you with the boxes, and knowing you, you've already got the electrical figured, but if not, below is a good place to start. I just upgraded my TT to a lithium setup and rewired all of the 12v distribution including Victron BMV-712 battery monitor, Victron DC-DC charger, Victron Lynx Distributror, new lithium-capable converter, new master switch, and associated wiring. Lots of good help from this channel. Will definitely be following your build if you share. https://www.youtube.com/@EXPLORISTlife

Thank you Sir. Been in the research/planning stage for this van for about a year. I Have a 12v Victron system roughed out. Shore power, 2nd alternator from the factory for DC-DC charging and solar.
Following are the items I am having installed on our van as soon as it’s delivered.
• Backwoods full front bumper with bull bar, light bar, white spots inside, amber fogs outside, and 12k Warn winch w/synthetic rope.
• Backwoods rear bumper w/flush mount Pathfinder lights (wired in with the reverse lights)
• Backwoods Driftr roof rack, ladder, and two 50” light bars (1 front & 1 back)
Front Bumper and roof rack lights will be wired to the factory accessories switches in the van: #1- bull bar light bar and inside white spots #2- outside amber fogs #3- front roof rack light bar #4- rear roof rack light bar
• Van Compass skid plate
• Aluminess spare tire carrier (rear driver side door)
• MaxxAir Deluxe 10 speed reversible roof fan (undecided between one or two, most likely two)
Our van is scheduled to be built in early February then has to get the Trail conversion so I expect delivery to my dealership in Whitesboro TX sometime in late March or early April. Once I get notice that it is being built I will notify my installer to start gathering parts and accessories. The day I pick it up from the dealer I will drive it directly to the installer to do the mods listed above.
For a little background this van will be our 2nd home for traveling. I have three years before I retire to build it out how I want it. I am planning on 10-12 years of post retirement use so want it built right.
My priority is quality components professionally installed! I have planned to have the time to do it right.
I’m installing 400-800 watts of solar, 600-800 AH of lithium, Van Life Tech floor heating system, Cruise N Comfort AC, and Nova Kool fridge and freezer as an example of the level of build I am doing.
I plan to start a thread in DIY once the van is delivered…

No help on tool boxes though.

Yes, they make good stuff. I like the pull handles better than many of the others.
