Gullwing Storage Pod
« on: October 31, 2011, 07:16:31 PM »
Where can i buy one? Did a search on the web and come up with a few places but they are all the smaller Truck style tool box ones. I am after one like the pod in the pics of the Kimberley konvertible.  Anyone have any ideas?

Hi chrisj1982.  I had a look around too with no success so I've ended up using my fittter welding skills to make my own at work. Theres a lot of work in em  :'( hate to get a qoute from a fab shop to get one custom made.

Try Cape York Campers in Cairns, I think they make all their gear in house as they are a metal fabricating business. But I don't know if they will sell one separately.

Stuff like this really pisses me off.  Where is the goodwill - it is not as if you were going to buy a camper from them, and it is not as if you are taking business away from them either!!!

You will find a few of them are like this....they don't want another camper going around with an exact copy of their own design.....

And I don't think you'd like the price anyway. !!
