Gather 'round, folks!
The tale of our C&N LidMate Organizer Trunk Accessory starts back in summers preceding 2008. This crafty little contraption comes securely mounted to the inside of your trunk lid with a wide strip of heavy-duty velcro, making use of an otherwise unusable space in your trunk. With the attached carabiner flashlight, campers have easy visibility for the contents within their trunk.
Additionally, it features a clear pocket to display pictures from home as well as six zippered pockets so your child can grab whatever small essentials they need. This accessory quickly became a must-have for any camper's trunk.
This product was born from a simple, yet insightful observation. During routine maintenance and repairs of customer’s camp trunks, we would see their packing lists and family photos taped to the underside of their trunk lids—a space otherwise unused and overlooked.
This got the gears turning in our heads. How can this space be better utilized?
After our Sales Director, Matt pitched the idea of a built-in lid accessory to camp staff and they loved it, we went straight into development. Our design gave campers a spot for their lip balm, playing cards, mini-flashlights, markers and the like.
One of the major challenges encountered in seeing the LidMate Organizer to fruition was determining the most effective method of installation inside the trunk. We tried this and that—adhesives to plastic turnbuckles and snaps. Ultimately, the simplicity and strength of super-strong velcro proved to be the ideal solution, offering both durability and ease of use.
The LidMate Organizer now stands as one of our most popular trunk accessories to maximize your camp trunk! Exclusive to C&N, this Trunk Accessories’ savvy use of space and knack for keeping things organized has shown us all how a simple idea can blossom into something indispensable!
It's been a bit of a trek getting from there to here, but what started as a solid notion has grown into somethin' truly special. Maximize your trunk by clicking right here! Thanks for reading. And, as always, Happy Camping!
