Fitting and sizes

When designing the various modules, slides and trays, we have researched the most common items available on the market and stocked by large distribution chains.

Not everything will fit perfectly but with a bit of trying all your gear will find a new home inside our modules.

Here are some examples: Frontrunner boxes fit on our fridge sldies. Decathlon pots fit inside the kitchen module side storage openings. And common 0,5lt water bottles fit in out high drawers standing up.

If you dont see your vehicle listed for a specific module you can do the following:

  • Search by vehicle and check if your car, SUV or 4x4 is listed and has modules available for it.
  • If the vehicle is not listed, get in touch with us, we may have it in the works.
  • If the vehicle is listed but the modules you want is not listed, get in touch for details.
  • Measure your trunk or the space where you ewant to place the product oyu are interested in. Use the diagram here below to list the specific sizes and get in touch to check with us what could fit in there.

Materials & Production

Yes, we select and use materials that can take light and UV rays without discolouring. We chose Dibond panels and use Raptor paint (the stuff used to paint cars and pickup's beds) to provide you with top materials and peace of mind.

We design and make products to provide solid and reliable solutions for your traveling and adventure needs. We are not alone but we are confident we do it well and we try to provide the best value for money. To show you how we stack up against the best in the industry, we compiled a comparison page here.

Our products are made (with passion) in Udine, the North East part of Italy. The area is a famous furniture making district and we have been collaborating with some top craftsmen to bring you the best quality products we could think of. 

Some of the components are imported from Europe and to a smaller degree from Asia. However, we try to minimise the imported parts sourcing locally as much as we can.

Customization

Yes, we do.

We offer our modules in various sizes to make sure you find the right fit for your vehicle. 

Sometimes we just need to make that one-off that fits like a glove. 

All you have to do in this case is reach out via the Contact form and will be get back to you to start exploring your unique project. Please note that additional charges will be applied for customized work.

If you require a full design upfront, a fee, based on the complexity of the project and starting at 150 Euro, will be also charged in order to commence work. That fee will then be subtracted from the final price. 

Installation

Yes, the aluminum profile structure allows you to combine modules by stocking them on top of or next to each other.

We are able to provide you with the necessary hardware to do so. You can find them in the Shop section under Hardware.

Please be advised that undertaking necessary precautions for safety and respecting road regulations are your responsibilities.

Usually, there are 3 ways to anchor and secure the modules to your vehicle.

  1. If we offer a vehicle specific platform system, first mount it into your vehicle's trunk by bolting it down using the taps of the original anchor points. Then bolt the various modules onto the base using the L-shape sliding mounts. These are provided with all modules.
  2. If you have a sunk-in trunk, you need to have a raiser to align the module with the boot's exit line. A raiser can also be produced according to your specifications. Once the modules is in the right position, use tie-downs to secure it to the existing anchor points (usually 4 or more). 
  3. If your trunk is flat, like a SUV or a station wagon, you can secure your module directly to the anchor points you have in your vehicle (usually 4 or more) using tie-downs connecting these to the module's anchor rings. In this case, don't forget to order the 4 hooks and 4 tie-downs package.

All you have to do is make sure they are tight and you are good to go!

We offer a life warranty on the aluminum profiles used in the modules. Restrictions apply in case of misuse.
