Hi all, and especially Hi and Thanks to
@PapaDave for sharing this great design.
Back in summer 2020 my wife and I bought a new subaru outback and started kitting it out for dispersed camping and overlanding so we could travel cross-country during the pandemic while avoiding hotels and exploring nature.
I was inpsired by the pullkitchen concept devloped and documented by PapaDave here. I really liked the nested design but couldn't find any vendors offering similar products that would fit in the slightly-shorter-than-a-forerunner-cargo-space of an outback... and/or be less than $2k off-the-shelf. So I put together a design of my own. I've been meaning to share my work for a while now and haven't done a proper job yet of putting together the resources I'd like to share. So here goes, I can elaborate if there's interest.
Tried my best to design everything in CAD (autodesk fusion) parametrically so the framework can be customized to other dimensions relatively easily. In the spirit of PapaDave's openness about his work, I am sharing all my work free and foss, if anyone wants it.
In retrospect, getting all the barstock square so that the sliders of the drawer-inside-a-drawer wouldn't bind was pretty tricky with the basic tools I had access to. If anyone attempts to buld something similar, consider doing what papadave did and getting lengths of 80/20 tubing cut and shipped from a pro suppler - then all the ends and sides will be nicely perpendicular and easy to square-up.

And here's a link to design and fabrication photos I put together as I built mine:

I recently shared some photos of the design and build process on instagram:

lastly,
@PapaDave, I described my adaptation as a "diy pullkitchen" on instagram... if you would prefer me to not use pullkitchen in the project, just let me know, happy to respect your name and products. Thanks again!
