How To Add Drawers To Unused Cabinet Space In RV's & Campers

I keep finding unused cabinet space in the hybrid Rockwood Roo camper that we have, and I believe this is the same in most campers. For a small space, they didn't bother to make the most efficient use of space. There are many useful spaces that are just blocked off with panels.
Between the entrance and the kitchen countertop is a slightly lower countertop with a cabinet underneath. The cabinet has a door, but above it is a 12-inch-wide by 6-inch-tall panel between the framing that is completely empty behind it for a depth of 12in. This is a perfect location for a cutlery drawer, which the camper is missing.
You can get custom wood drawers made to any size with drawer slides. The framing support for the slides still needs to be added inside the cabinet.
By chance, I discovered this metal drawer on Amazon that is a perfect fit. It has its own frame, which greatly simplifies the install. Since it's only 3.15 in tall, 2 of these drawers will fit stacked in the space. That's better than one deep drawer for storing cutlery and smallish items. Then you don't need to dig to find things that are covered up by other junk. The frame opening height where the panel currently is is 6in. The total stackup height of 2 drawers is 3.3in. I will have to cut away 0.3in of the frame.
