Drawer Box Options
The Torridon features a 1.4m rear slide-out drawer, available in two smart configurations:
Cookstation Setup – Designed for those who want a dedicated cooking space, ready to roll.
Storage Setup – A flexible layout that gives you the best of both worlds—storage and cooking capability.
Cookstation Setup
A full mobile kitchen built into the drawer—ideal for quick setups and outdoor cooking.
Twin end-lockers for utensils, food, or gas storage
Central shelf platform fits a two-burner stove (perfect for CADAC)
Lower compartment storage for pots, pans, or dry goods
Removable locker tops double as chopping boards or prep surfaces
Storage Setup
A clean, adaptable layout that covers your kit-carrying needs—and can still be used for cooking.
3 removable internal dividers to customise your storage layout for longer items
Drop-down door on the inside face acts as a small shelf—perfect for cooking access
Easily reach into the drawer while prepping or cooking on the top surface
Locker tops still double as prep boards or small cook surfaces
Ideal for users who need storage first, but still want the ability to cook on the go
Seat Configuration
We've included two pull out bed sections, the smaller of which allows for a L-shaped seating setup. This leaves loads of room for carrying bikes, boards and equipment or pair this with our Clachan or Sorcha wheel arch storage units for a full width bed and U-shaped seating option.
Materials & Finish
CNC-cut from 18mm and 12mm birch ply
Finish options: Black Hexa or Natural Birch
Placement
The Torridon can be placed on either the RHS (drivers side) or LHS (passenger side) of your van. Note, in most SWB/L1 panel vans (T5/6.Transit Custom etc) placing the 1800 Torridon on the LHS (passenger side) will result in an overhang of the sliding door of around 400mm.

Torridon Extension Box – Boosts sleeping length and internal storage, perfect for adding to a 1400 Torridon in a Kombi van when you want to swap out the seats and still have an 1800 long bed
