Brad NSW Posted October 18, 2018 Report Share Posted October 18, 2018 Fabricator said they shipped if from Oregon Friday. They delivered to the curb today at 11AM! Wife was a little worried we'd have trouble getting it on the bed of the truck. A little finessing with the smart car winch, some careful unpacking after we got it on the deck and presto - a new Drom Box. Ramps fit perfectly on the sides and are fairly easy to place. Only thing missing was the keys??? Will have to call tomorrow. Maybe they ship them separately. 😁Nice when a project is finally complete☺️ 2010 Freightliner, DD15 Eaton Ultrashift, 2015 New Horizons 5th Wheel.

sclord2002 Posted October 18, 2018 Report Share Posted October 18, 2018 That is a beauty. Now you have to figure out what to put in it and where to best place it. I know you will really enjoy all that extra space. Charlie Don't ever tell a soldier that he doesn't understand the cost of war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad NSW Posted October 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 Gonna start by coating the interior walls with black liquid rubber and laying black vinyl tile on all shelves to keep that grey "aluminum dust" from covering everything, plus keep things from sliding around.

HERO Maker Posted October 19, 2018 Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 Just remember, don't have anything in that drom that you may want to get to while traveling if you plan on having anything on that deck.

In a year or two, you will be asking yourself what you never use so you can get rid of it. When I put storage under our TH, I had lots of plans on what I "wanted" to put under there. Now I am deciding what I don't "need" so I can put some of the things I "want" in there. Nice looking DROM BTW.

Pete Kildow Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 How deep is that box? I'm thinking about building one deep enough. To put my Smokin-Tex 1500 smoker inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might consider spraying the aluminum after polishing so that it can be kept nice, and the interior sprayed as you have talked about. Very nice box! I'm envious.

Brad NSW Posted November 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2018 Interior is lined with liquid rubber. We'll see how that holds up. Attached is a copy of the plans. It's 20" deep on the floor and shelves are 17" deep. Attached is a plan. 2010 Freightliner, DD15 Eaton Ultrashift, 2015 New Horizons 5th Wheel.
