"PoundStrecher" shops sell  a set with 4drawers and no wheels for £14:99 about the same size.( take a ruler and measure them) Worth a try Jock

I looked at the plastic drawers idea for our Pathfinder but decided that as the actual door opening is so small, I would lose too much space getting a unit that would fit through the opening, so instead I have lined the inside of the wardrobe with 3 lots of 1" by 1/2" runners and shelved the inside. This gives me 4 large shelves.

As for the Larder, we use a canvas larder unit but backed the hardboard/vinyl covered shelves that come with the unit, with 8mm Ply. This makes it strong enough for all our food supplies and it sits on the locker immediately inside the main door.

Because this unit has exterior bars, we hang an awning 4 hook clothes hanger there and have our outdoor jackets right by the door.

It all works out rather well.

I bought plastic drawers too however I bought really cheap ones from B and M and they kept falling apart which drove me mad.  currently I am just using plastic boxes in there but need to sort something.  

as we often don't bother with the awning and also don't unpack much if just the two of us camping for a few days, we really don't need to use the wardrobe for clothes so it is great for keeping the food in. 

Daft question but which way does the rail go as I am not sure if one of those hanging cloth shelves would work?

We used these hanging shelves when we had the TT and hung them on the awning roof poles, they were fine, but in the FC wardrobe, the wardrobe rail is only held in place by 4 (2 each side) screws and I would not want to hang anything other that a few jackets on it.

The shelves I put in (see above) I reinforced by glueing in 2 vertical 1" by 1.2" to each glued runner on each of the 2 sides and one at the back.

The front of each shelf also has a runner but this is screwed to the shelf and the to angle brackets to the sides making each shelf sitting on a runner all round.

Because everything apart from the brackets, is only glued to the original wardrobe and because the original hanging rail is now stowed away, I could return the wardrobe to its original spec when I sell on the FC.

When travelling, I unpack the wardrobe contents into boxes that lay on the FC floor and only our pillows then go into the wardrobe for travelling.

Indeed, whilst I have done a number of mods to our FC, everything apart from the extra sockets can be removed and the whole FC returned to original spec.
