Sorry, no plans. My hubby just measured the area and drew the plans. He is not a woodworker although he is extremely mechanically inclined. The 2 biggest things to remember is that the opening is smaller than the actual space so u do loose an inch or so on the left of the drawer. He used MDF for the drawer itself, felt chair pads on the bottom, red oak wood for the front with red Chesnutt stain, and dividers are thin hardwood. He used a pocket hole jig to secure the sides and bottom of the drawer. We also has to use a floor vent in order to get the right finish. Exact plans wouldn't work b/c each area is going to vary slightly. For instance our back wall of the space was not perfect. Therefore he had to make minor size adjustments. One tip- remove the mattress and boards from the camper. I hopes this helps some. If u have any questions let us know.

Thanks for the info! Can you post some more detailed pics of the drawer? I want to give this a go and put that black and decker toolkit to work! I don't know what a packet hole jig is, but i am sure with pictures i could figure it out! Great info on the stain and wood too! :) i smell a project :)
