A floor drawer is provided which is mounted so as to be below the floor when in the fully closed or storage position, and movable so as to be above the floor when in an accessible or open position. The floor drawer can be mounted to a support structure connected under the floor and then selectively slidable along a Lazy S track to emerge from the floor to rest on the floor, after a cover is opened. When in the closed position, the cover serves as an extension of the floor over the floor drawer opening. In vehicular applications, the support structure for the floor drawer is mounted between chassis beams or peripheral frame structure for the floor. The vertical component of the Lazy S track elevates the floor drawer over the vertical component of the chassis beam or frame structure, and the horizontal component of the Lazy S track guides the floor drawer toward or away from access doors to the vehicle exterior. In RV applications, the floor drawer can be mounted within exterior pass-through storage compartments, in removable or fixed configurations, without restricting the pass-through function of such storage compartments. The floor drawer can be ventilated to the vehicle exterior and/or be lockable to provide a secure and hidden storage area. The support structure for the floor drawer accommodates are variety of aesthetically pleasing floor drawer configurations.
