Light Weight Drawer Hack: DIY Drawers with Aluminium Tubing & 3D Print Frame

This week I'm on a mission to lighten the load at the front of our caravan! 💪 Using 19mm aluminium tubing and custom 3D printed connectors, I’ve come up with a brand new way to build a strong but super lightweight frame. For the drawers, I'm keeping things efficient with 9mm and 12mm plywood — saving weight without sacrificing strength. Whether you're chasing better towing performance or just want smarter caravan storage, this build could be a game-changer. Let’s dive in!
