Q: How do I install the galley?
A: Mounting to the wall: Our galleys are designed to mount to the vehicle's wall. You can measure and mark a section of solid wall truss/beam behind the cabinet to approximate before shooting a screw or rivet nut into the wall. We recommend a minimum of three rivet nuts or five self-tapping screws to hold the galley in place.
A: Installing a refrigerator: It is required to cut inlet and outlet ventilation holes for the unit to cool down without posing a fire risk. Refer to your refrigerator unit manual to learn more about airflow direction and ventilation requirements.
A: Seal the butcher block: This is commonly done using mineral oil, butcher block oil, or a food-grade finish. This butcher block arrives unfinished, so seal it before use.
Q: How do I know if the galley will fit my vehicle?
A: These galleys are designed to take up the space behind the driver seat in most vehicles. This unit may also be placed elsewhere in the vehicle.
Q: How do I apply, paint, stain, or sealer?
A: Painting
- Lightly scuff the entire cabinet surface that you plan on coating with 120-180 grit sandpaper.
- Apply 2-3 coats of primer before applying your main coat.
- Always apply a finish when you're happy with the paint to get a long-lasting appearance.
A: Staining
- Sand the surface on all faces with sandpaper traveling with the grain of the wood.
- Apply stain very cautiously to a section of the cabinet that will not be visible to gauge the volume and pressure you need to achieve the look you want.
- Apply the stain evenly with a rag, sponge, or spray gun until all surfaces are coated.
- Please note that overlapping surfaces may make the stain darker on the overlapped areas.
- Always apply a finish when you're happy with the stain to get a long-lasting appearance.
A: For Butcher Blocks and Slabs
- For most units, Phillips head screws hold the butcher block to the cabinet base, which must be removed.
- If staining, sand the butcher block thoroughly with 120-180 grit sandpaper.
- Apply a sample on the underside of the butcher block to find a volume and pressure that achieves the color you'd like.
- Apply the stain evenly with a rag, sponge, or spray gun until all surfaces are coated.
- Please note that overlapping surfaces may make the stain darker on the overlapped areas.
- Always apply a food-grade finish when you're happy with the stain for a long-lasting appearance.
- If sealing with oil or wax, make sure the oil or wax is food grade and apply evenly with a soft rag or sponge.
- Allow to dry and re-coat one or two more times.
Q: What power intake does the refrigerator take?
A: The DOMETIC line of refrigerators we use accepts 100-240V AC and 12V/24V DC.
Q: What sink drain does the sink accept?
A: The NanoTec sink accepts more universal 3.5" drains. We recommend purchasing one with a strainer.

I purchased a Bumper Bar for my new Subaru Outback Wilderness from the Adventure Rig Shop. The Bumper Bar arrived within days, extremely well packaged. The installation was very straightforward. It only took me a few minutes (although I needed a trip to the hardware store for the right sized socket and a longer extension than I had on hand).. The Bumper Bar itself is very well made and looks great on my Subaru OB Wilderness. The primary purpose of my purchase was to install some off-road lighting and to have a point of attachment for securing my kayaks when up on the roof. Tanks Adventure Rig Shop!
I bought the ARB compressor for my outback and it doesnt work.
To return it i was told to send a video of it NOT working... i asked what specifically needs to be shown in the video and never got a reply. Now its been too long to return it... so a 600 dollar paperweight later and ill never recommend this site to anyone again.
Just awful.
They work and are easy to install. I wish the holes for the light mounts were not so large though. A lot of extra play between the bolt and the hole. I need to get some larger washers to cut down on the vibrations.
