    Slide out kitchen for pickup bed

    total success. Easiest camp set up I've ever had. Didnt have a second thought about packing up the kitchen at night and pulling it back out in the morning. Didnt take a picture but made having lunch real fast on the side of the trail a breeze.

    Slide out kitchen for pickup bed

    The main box and top surface I made from 3/4" sanded plywood. To hold it together I used a combination of glue and pocket hole screws. They work great and the jig is pretty cheap online. I also picked up some heavy duty 40" slides. They aren't the locking type since the cost jumped quite a bit...

    Slide out kitchen for pickup bed

    So step one was to take some measurements and draw it out. This was my result and is a pretty rough sketch but it gives me a direction I'm happy with. As I mentioned before there will be a top surface to store our luggage bags that will be easily accessed from the rear or side of a camper...

    Slide out kitchen for pickup bed

    So after being tired of digging through plastic bins to set up my camp kitchen, I decided to copy and make my version of a slide out kitchen. Taking advantage of the fact a new shell is going on my truck it will be made of wood and have space on top for storage accessible through the side window...
