I'm finalizing some of the details on my custom camper and I'm pondering using some kind of bin rack system for part of the cabinetry. Has anyone seen anything like this they think would be good for a camper application?

I've been thinking a roll out pantry might be a good use of limited cabinet space.

(just a sample, would obviously be shorter for camper use)

You might want to check out Grainger Inc., they stock many variations of bin racks for commercial use. I've seen bins made from metal, plastic, etc. The key would be to find something light enough for a camper application.

When I think of a bin/rack I think of plastic or metal bins that are gravity sitting on shelves (or cantilevered off the back). Is that what you are talking about, wanting those individual bins? If so I'm be inclined to figure out what size bins you want and buy them separately. Then build in either fixed or adjustable shelves the height of the bins (to keep them from bouncing around). Additionally when the bins are removed you'll them have an open shelf to work with in case you have varying needs. Just a thought.

Very interested in this topic.

I have pondered something like this, but have not found something light and strong enough for my application.

They have some interesting stuff, need to dig out the catalog and look through it again.

I am using these for a new concept I've been working on.
You can lock them; they are water proof; light weight and pretty though.
