Hi I was wondering if anyone has had a drawer fitted to their motorhome by JH Caravan at York.
You stop on a Cl while the drawer is fitted.
We are thinking of this instead of a backbox .

Hi @ginam. Sorry I can't answer your question but - do you mean a drawer in the skirt, like this?

Maybe do a search on this forum for Beenybox, they've been discussed a lot also another similar firm that I can't remember the name of but MIGHT be the firm you're talking about. Unfortunately I think Beenybox themselves have ceased trading.
You need to consider the extra weight of the drawers/ lockers themselves, and how much payload you'd lose - Beenyboxes were quite light, but some others are much heavier.

Thanks for the advice I did Google been box and the website domain is available which suggests they are no longer trading.
Our payloads are quite good on a autotrail tracker.
I will email Jim and get him to confirm the weight.

many many years! since I was a kid
excellent idea and ideal for "wet" storage, but dont be tempted to fit one too big as they can be easily overloaded causing mechanical issues. I looked at buying one van with a 1m+ long drawer that was sagging in the middle and was difficult to close

Got quote today from Jim at JH Caravan £680 for 1m long if you take into account back box and rack it's about the same.
Not sure about Brenda's knicker cupboard might be cold under the van

Beenybox I think was well down in the southwest I seem to remember reading that somebody went for one fitting and the place was shut down they made local enquirys and was told he had died and was buried the day before their fitment date this was possibly in last year.

That's correct, they were just a couple of miles from our house. It seems nobody took on the business which is a shame.
