Overland Bonfire: Create the Drawer System of Your Dreams

In this episode of the Overland Bonfire Podcast we talk with Chad Love from DrawerSystems.com. We discuss how he started his business, tips for DIY vehicle drawer system builds, what the real motivation is behind keeping camping gear super organized, and how vehicle / gear mods are central to what makes overlanding appealing.

Growing up camping alot Chad developed a love for the outdoors. As an adult he started taking his family camping off-road and began seeing the need for better gear organization. With little experience and a few pointers from friends he began building his own drawer system. Seven months and three iterations later he finally had a vehicle drawer system that he loved. A year later he decided to reboot his setup and sold his drawer system. Shocked by all the interest in what he had made, the idea for the business was born.  

Chad's custom drawer system builds for off-road vehicles, and even camper vans, are known for their meticulous detail and attention to quality. Starting at $1800 he offers organization solutions that will fit any budget. But in this discussion Chad also offers some solid tips for the serious DIY overlander for how to:

• Save weight when you build your vehicle drawer system.
• What liner to use when coating your wood drawer system.
• Best practices for touching up the liner.
• Integrating your drawer system with your seats.
• And more.
