Terracan "boot" conversion for camping

[athansor]

Has anybody done a camping conversion of the Terracan boot space that they'd be willing to share with me please?

Looking for ideas on how to go about putting in a raised platform that fit over the wheel arches, and space for ammo boxes or sling racks underneath. Likely remove the rear seats for this to make extra length available.

A modular system that is both "solid" and relatively easy to remove and stow would be a winning bonus - the 'Can is my only vehicle (apart from a motorbike) so needs to fill multiple roles.

Alternatively, if there are any reputable companies in the great Cape Town / West Coast area that specialise in such conversions, please point me in the their direction.

Hi Jason, only saw your post now while looking for something else. I had a drawer system custom made originally to take wolff packs with high lids. The top of the system is a slide to make packing easier. However I changed the drawer system to two long "boxes" which I found to work much better. When I did this there was space under the system so I had it modified to take a table - just slides in and out for easy access if we stop for lunch or something. The drawer system is fixed to the vehicle by four eye bolts that I put in the luggage net fixings. I use a cable that runs through the eye bolts and fixes to the drawer system in four places with turnbuckles so it can be screwed down tight. Plenty of room down the sides for loose stuff. When we go camping (and I only use the vehicle for camping) the rear seats are removed and I had a platform made to cover the rear seat area. On this platform goes the fridge, battery box, water jerry cans etc. Lots of room under the platform to store tools, recovery equipment and whatever else....I am a radio ham so the radio base goes there as well with the face of the radio fitted on a goose neck in front. The drawer system is quite heavy so needs two persons to fit and remove.
