SETTING UP DETAILS FOR SINGLE DRAWER DRIFTA CAR BACK..

Here’s some photos from the last our Birdsville trip 09. We took three drifta trucks, and nine boys. I bought them all a new swag for the trip. My brother ben came also. This was our first night. The carback held most of our cooking gear, and was plenty of bench space for preparing meals.
This was at innaminka on the way home. The boys were really good and pitched in with the cooking. This was my single drawer carback inside the vertical combo. For quick stops, it was great to be able to pull the table out, anything I wanted from the drawer, to have a quick sandwich or cuppa, without having to pull the kitchen out.
Here’s the SD DCB , Single Draw – Drifta Car Back. I’ve lifted it out of the truck , set the legs down, flipped the bench over, and hooked up the jerry can. You can see I’ve got all my kitchen gear in there… Once you pull the draw right out, you get your stove and the tub out.. things you don’t need can stay in the draw. See the cutlery draw at the back, it sits above the tub. Once things are out, this can slide forward. You can just make out a rail that it slides on..
See here now the cutlery draw is pulled to the front, it’s easy to get to. The empty space from the tub and stove is now up the back, so you don’t have to pull the draw out very far. How’s that for a setup. You can see on the video how easy it is to set up. You now have a stove, sink, hand pump, I have two billies, one wot water jug, frypan, plates, bowls, cups, all cutlery, tea and coffee. It’s amazing how much you can fit in it you pack it neatly..
If you have the carback combo, then you can also lift the table out..it also has adjustable legs, so you can get it the perfect height, and nice and level. This really is a luxury setup when camping or travelling, so easy to setup, and very practical. Whether you’re out for the day, camping for a week, or travelling around day by day, this is an awesome package. Works perfect with roof top tents, or say an oztent. I have the new Hannibal awning, how good is that , no tent poles to worry about...
instructions for DRIFTA car back - Dcb

Hi, thanks for your purchase of our Drifta Car Back kitchen. The unit is very easy to set up, but please take note of the following instructions, it will help you to better understand how to best use your DCB. If you have a look at the video on the web, it will show you all this very clearly. Also, under the instructions page on the web, shows you what you can put inside your kitchen..
STEP 1 The unit can be used while in the vehicle for quick stops. The setup of the DCB be done fairly easily on your own, but if someone else is around, you can get them to help.

 STEP 2 To remove the DCB from the vehicle, pull it out about 2/3 of the way, and pull down the front legs from underneath, until they "click" lock in place.
STEP 3 using the rear handle, and the front rope handle (the front black chest handle is only for opening the draw, not for lifting the kitchen, you must use the rope handle for this. ) lift the DCB onto the ground, while still holding up the end like shown.

STEP 4 now swing down the other legs, until they lock in place.

STEP 5 now you can adjust the leg length, or adjust it for uneven ground. Be sure to nip up the "T-nuts" fairly tight when adjusting the legs. You will normally need to make the legs a bit longer, to get a comfortable working height. (the front legs can now be left long, but the rear legs will have to be dropped back down to pack up, see fold up instructions. )

 STEP 6 grab the leg from the back, and clip it onto the end of the lid. This can then be adjusted to make it level with the rest of the kitchen.

STEP 7 get the pump out of the draw, undo the plastic nut, fit the pump in the hole, and then do up the nut again underneath. Just finger tight is ok. Push the hose on the bottom of the pump, and drop the other end into a jerry can.

STEP 8 the black tub can lift out. (you have to pull the draw right out to get the tub out) you can sit the lip of the tub against the bench , so you have a free hand to pump the water...

There you go, all finished. The front draw is designed to hold a single burner stoves, then also you could put in some billies, frying pan etc. The rear top draw would be cutlery etc, under that is the draw which holds the plastic tub. Stuff can be stored in the tub, things like tea towel, dishcloth/detergent, or plates/cups, but again whatever you want really. The plastic tub can be taken out, but to do this, you need to pull the draw right out, and drop it down slightly, which will let you remove it easily. That's about it I think. Now you'll have a neat, compact storage unit that folds out into a handy little kitchen. Hope you can get some good use out of it. Thanks again for your purchase, if there's anything you're not sure of, or you have any problems, please give me a call anytime. Rgds Luke



HERE'S THE FOLD UP INSTRUCTIONS.
STEP 1 Fold the lid over, remove the leg and put it back where it was. Now here's something you need to remember. The leg is two parts, a 22 mm outside piece, and a 19 mm inner piece. The clips that hold this leg on are for 19 mm only, so make sure you clip it onto the smaller tube. Otherwise, if you put the wider 22 mm piece in the clips, it will stretch them, and it'll be no good.

STEP 2 now, here is another important point. See how the legs work. The front (top) legs, can be extended, and left long to pack up, see how they run past on the outside. The inside legs (bottom), have to be shortened so they can fit inside like shown by the arrow. There should be a red mark on the legs, to show you how far you need to drop them back to. It's a good idea when you get it, to sit it on it's back like this, and have a look so you understand how the legs work, and how they lock into place when closed and open.
STEP 3 so, drop the rear legs down to the red line as shown. If the red line isn't there, or wears off, you can easily get a texta a draw it on.

STEP 4 now, what you want to do, is release the spring clip. To do this, press the button in, while giving the leg a push with your foot, just a few inches, like shown.

See that, the leg has been released, but it won't fall over, as the other leg is still locked in.

STEP 5 now lift it back in the vehicle, again using the rear black chest handle, and the front rope handle. See here, are you push it away, the legs will collapse up underneath. You need to then lock them in place, so give them a little push, and you'll feel them lock into the tube holder.

STEP 6 now you can lock the other legs away, by pressing in the spring clip, and pushing the leg up with your knee.

All done, how easy is that. Another great aussie invention, that you can't buy anywhere else in the world. Don't let your mates borrow it, tell them to get their bloody own :)
HERE'S A FEW TIPS..
Once your kitchen is set up, you can pull the legs out a bit, this will take out any slack in the legs, and make it a bit more rigid. Also, when your DCB is loaded in the truck, you can put anything you like on top, it's very strong, so don't be worried to put eskies etc on top....

See the cover for the single burner stove, this makes an ideal windbreak. It can be tucked under the corners of the stove so it won't blow over.
