I just finished building a 52" x 41" drawer and a carpet kit for the dogs for our Go Fast camper . Inside we have a 12 gallon water tank and 200 amp hour heated lithium ion batteries. I need the heated batteries because I run in the snow and charge off the alternator. Becuse the Gladiator wheelwells are narrow, Canbat batteries fit perfectly. We are running a fridge freezer and the battery set up can run it for a week. To keep the structure light, I used aluminium angle and tees with 1/2 plywood and reinforced 5/8 for the deck. I also used rivnuts in the side of the bed to support the frame. the drawer slides hold 450 lbs.

Got a link? Looking at the one that goes flat. Build a little bottom box for storage and the tank.
I used the 50 liter arch tank by Ironman 4x4. That way the weight is centered, easy to fill and only takes 5 inches.
