Welcome to the fresh build of our 1990 Toyota Pickup. This was filmed in February/March 2020... you know, before the Covid pandemic. We’ll be catching you up on our Toyota Pickup build over the coming weeks. Thanks so much for following along!

Indoor living space is coveted amongst the travellers we met on the road. Regardless of how well you plan a trip there are times when the weather (or season) forces you inside. We lived out of our old roof top tent for almost two years and longed for a little indoor space to sit where we’d be protected from the rain and wind.

This time around we ordered a couple of Goose Gear drawer modules and proceeded to build an L-shaped bench with the help of an infill panel connected the two. I built a kitchen cabinet out of scrap 80/20 aluminum and plywood (complete with a little Dometic VA8000 sink) for the driver-side. A Dometic CFX3 35-liter fridge will sit towards the back. Now we have a place to stand, sit, cook, and work.

I feel like luck was the only reason that Goose Gear makes off-the-shelf drawers that are the same height as the bedrails in our truck. This was key in being able to utilize the side doors of the V1 Go Fast Camper.

Goose Gear Components:
Double Drawer Module (15 3/16” Wide x 25” Depth) – DD151525-GRY
Double Drawer Module (20 3/16” Wide x 25” Depth) – DD201525-GRY
