Which Rigwell Grub Setup Is Right for You?

Explore Drawer Cab, Fridge Cab, and Grub Galley configurations, fridge pairing tips, and flexible side mount options for van builds

Rigwell’s Grub Family includes three primary kitchen modules:

     Grub Drawer Cab: Cabinet with soft close aluminum drawers and a lower door cabinet. It includes room for up to two 5 gallon tanks and comes with a ¾″ countertop.

     Grub Fridge Cab: Engineered to fit the Isotherm 85 Clean Touch fridge (drawer or door style). Includes built in top and bottom venting and a similar countertop.

     Grub Galley: Combines both modules into a single unit. Accommodates fridge, drawers, two tanks, and supports an optional drop down bamboo table.

All modules are constructed from lightweight aluminum, layer matched bamboo or laminate finishes, and include premium Accuride soft close slides and hinges.

Rigwell recommends the Isotherm Clean Touch 85 refrigerator for its reliability, efficiency, and fit. It slides directly into the Fridge Cab or Grub Galley with matched ventilation. Door style fridges may also work but require ensuring access to vents and rail clearance. Because the modules are side agnostic, you can install the Fridge Cab facing outward (toward the van’s side door) or inward (toward the interior space), depending on layout preferences. Dock it near the sliding door for quick outdoor access, or keep it internal if you prefer a clean interior line.

Installation & Mounting

Each module includes mounting slots and brackets for secure installation:

     Bolted to the floor using studs or plus nuts

     Compatible with Adventure Wagon L-Track mounting brackets if desired

     Rigwell provides alignment points to simplify layout across vans

     Compatible with Sprinter (144/170), Transit, and ProMaster high roof builds

Modules install easily with standard tools and clear direction from Rigwell’s guides.

Layout Flexibility

Place your setup on either the driver or passenger side. Swap modules as needs change, or mix and match, place the Drawer Cab on one side and a standalone Fridge Cab on the other. The modular nature means you can shift components as your workflow evolves. The drop down bamboo table bolts to the side of the Fridge Cab or Galley for extra prep space holds up to 15 lbs. Other Grub accessories include side panels, tie down modules, or combo configurations (sold separately).
