Looks a lot like my $15 army surplus stove. Good enough for me.

I was thinking of something like this that eliminates the tailgate as the tailgate on my trailer was mutilated in the previous owners modifications

Looks pretty doable with some metal fabrication work. Do you want the sides to lift up too ? what are your skills at building ? Sheet aluminum or tin will make those rounded corners, with pop rivits to hold it down to marine plywood flat panels, then fiberglass the whole thing. I'll bet @Road or @old_man could give you some ideas on building.
I have those same boxes but I got the bottom roller unit instead of the mesh box. They work great! I can put in 2 stoves, griddle, cast iron pans, etc. It's great for how we camp.
Yup. Went with the mesh box for pots/pans/misc (etc). It breathes, so the dishes can dry without molding while we're driving; or just at a place where I can carry all the dishes in one container to the wash basin/area. The larger box has food and I like that its burro/rodent-proof and may keep a bear at bay for a few while I get my shoes on to chase it out of camp.
Man that box is something else! Very nice! Are those “corner” materials and paneling something from Home Depot/Lowe’s etc? Wouldn’t mind attempting something along those lines. Oops! Got a little excited and posted this too soon... just saw the link to your build. Carry on

Haha carry on. And no, most local places don’t carry extruded aluminum. Tnutz.com has expanded what they offer as well. Or in a couple weeks you might be able to buy a kit if you don’t wanna DIY it :)

The galley area of my teardrop. Excuse the mess, this was near the end of 11 days off grid. The pantry below the stove and cooler are on slide out runners.

Did you build it all yourself, What trailer frame did you start with or is it all hand made. I'd say your quite a craftsman.

Thanks! I started with a Red Trailers 5x8 frame I lengthened to just under 10, the rest was pure vision and design on the fly. That was 11 years and about 20,000 miles ago. Of course I’m still making tweaks.

This how we set up a few weeks ago. It rained a fair bit and the canopy came in handy.

I feel right at home there. It reminds me of a place I lived in my adolescent years, only the trees were a larger diameter and thick like these in the pic.
Sometimes it's nice keepin' the kitchen simple.
