Found an image on my phone from long time ago that shows my chuck box organization. I still keep it this way.
What I love about this box is that it is light (the one's I've made from scratch, even from 3/8" ply, end up 30-40 lbs empty); holds everything I need, and can be moved easily from van to trailer tailgate, to work counter, or back porch. Wherever I want it.
The lid is deep enough to leave my stove, and two sauté pans with lids, two plates, and a couple shallow bowls on the orange tray and still close the lid. The lid also comes off if I need to use it for washing clothes, or standing in for shower, etc.
The box itself holds a voluminous amount and is quite deep front to back. I'm making drawers for sections that don't have one, so I can just pull the drawer to get what's at back (spices, etc) instead of unloading that whole section.

Lid still closes with stove and all that's on the tray.

When I get to camp and have my trailer set up with counter, I take the whole TV tray, pans and all, and put it on my small
GSI Collapsible Micro Table, which fits nice and snug on the tire. Leaves more room on my counter.
