SETTING UP THE DPOR RHS |
|||
 |
 |
||
| STEP 1 open the tailgate, and using the rope handles, pull the kitchen out about 1/3 of the way. |
STEP 2 the steel legs underneath, are held in place by a plastic clip. Reach under and pull them down, until you hear a 'click' from the spring clip. The legs should be just past vertical. |
||
 |
 |
||
| STEP 3 now you can adjust the leg length. Do up the 'T-nuts' firmly. |
STEP 4 pull the kitchen out until the back of the trailer is about level with the cupboard hinge. |
||
 |
 |
||
| STEP 5 now undo the 4 black clips that holds the lid on, and lift the lid to the back a few inches. |
STEP 6 next swing around, and fold up the 'folding end' and lock into place. |
||
 |
 |
||
| STEP 7 now, by holding onto the steel legs, lift up the front evenly, about 2-3 inches high. You have to clear a small timber catch ( shown by the arrow ). |
STEP 8 swing the rhs of the front out, then lift it around, and hook it onto the 'folding end' using the two L brackets. |
||
 |
 |
||
| STEP 9 slide out the steel legs, just enough to clear the two metal brackets (shown by the arrow) . Then, by holding the top of the legs together, lift them up to vertical, and let them drop to the ground. Easy. |
STEP 10 try to get this shelf fairly level now, before doing up the T-nuts again. |
||
 |
 |
||
| STEP 11 now lift the front around. The two L brackets fit onto the 'folding end' also. |
STEP 12 the timber 'leg' will sit into a groove in the lid. It's important this fits into place here. |
||
 |
 |
||
| That's it. Your DPOR is now ready to use. |
The 2nd set of legs can also be pulled down and used for extra stability, or if you want to freestand the kitchen. |
||
 |
 |
||
| See inside the cupboard there is a shelf about 1/3 the way down. The DPOR now comes standard with two drawers, and a spare wash tub. | Kaito is showing how the sink can pull out to be used, and the hand pump turns around to pump into it. |
||
 |
|||
| Look at all that laminated bench space. Nice and high, very sturdy, and plenty of room underneath also. |

| The DPOR RHS set up in a JUMBUCK Trailer. See how the return bench fits neatly inside a six foot awning, and the end of the kitchen is sitting on the tailgate. (this one was modified to fit a Coleman 3 burner gas) |
A DPOR RHS with an on road Cameron Canvas Trailer.You can just see where the gas bottle sits, and the jerry can for the water pump. This one has two drawers fitted. Look at all that bench space! |

| Camping at Wyangla Dam, with the DPOR. The hand pump can hook up to a jerry can, there's plenty of space under-neath for eskys, a rubbish bag can still hook up on one end, the legs are fully adjustable, and there's so much bench space. | Washing up is really easy with the pull out sink. You can have the dirty dishes on one side, wash up in the middle, and drain them on the other side. And having the pump is really handy, right over the sink. |
