The Command Center

I had this idea of an aluminum box for the back of the xB that would contain just about everything we would use while camping.   It would transfer easily from the car to the truck and would keep us organized while camping.  I couldn't find a box like I wanted and so I decided to design one and build it myself.  I was just about to order the materials at a cost of several hundred dollars when I found this one on ebay for under $200:

It is roughly 36 inches wide, 16 inches high, and fits almost perfectly in the back of the xB.  When you fold down the front door, you have a table that you can cook on or use for other things like washing clothes or even serving food if you have people over.  The Mt. Shasta RTT has an anex room that is big enough for at least four people to sit around in bad weather or when the bugs are bad.  So this "command center" is very versatile.  I'll post other pictures later showing how we modified the inside to make it work for us.
