I'm in the process of building a version of Camp Inn's 560 and I'm a bit stuck on the arrangement of the galley. I have lots of trips under my belt where I was camping alone or with my wife out of the back of a small pickup, but now I have a growing family and our cooking arrangements are still evolving. I was thinking about building two small chuck boxes that were sized for the galley space that were removable. This would allow us to load/unload the chuck boxes in the house, then slide it into the galley and secure it. It would also make it easier for the galley to evolve down the road as we figure out what works best for us.
I've run across four images in the galley gallery that seem to show someone who did something similar, but I can't seem to find any other info. Has anybody else on here done something similar? Here are a couple of the found images:
Here's a picture of my galley as it sits:
The three hatches aren't finished yet, they still need seals and flush mount hinges. The leftmost (driver) one will house the battery, the right (passenger) side will be for storing misc kitchen stuff, while the center is a shallow shelf for holding the larger pans. That shelf under the middle hatch is a false bottom with room for installing a Propex furnace down the road. The chuck boxes will be shallow enough so that the hatches can be opened with them in place.
I had thought about using a strip of wood mounted across the galley forward bulkhead that the chuck box top forward edge would rest under. I was also thinking a sliding bolt mounted vertically on the lower aft edge could drop down into a shallow hole drilled in the countertop. I may need to do more to keep it from moving around, perhaps another sliding bolt that goes into the outboard bulkhead.
And for grins, here's a rough idea of what the trailer looks like in a very cluttered garage:
