Camper Van Storage Solution - Rear Overhead Locker VW T6 Camper Van
Here is a little DIY video (its been a while) of something I have been wanting to install since seeing a few of your vans at meet ups with the same storage solution. I am a happy chappy
Any questions, please pop them in the comments section below and I will try answer them as quickly as I possibly can.
Stay awesome everyon
WE HAVE ADDED A "THANK YOU BUTTON"
We are aiming to take zero sponsorships so that we can concentrate on creating campsite reviews, DIY and informative location videos for you lovely lot.. However, creating these videos is costing us more than we make (which is very little considering the time and effort it takes) and as much as we love making the videos we have to try and at least break even to cover the costs of the campsites, fuel and other associated expenses. So we have recently added a "thank you" button to all our videos. You can completely ignore it and continue watching our content for free (it will always be free, forever) or you can donate as little as £1.00 towards a coffee or a beer. Stay awesome you lot...

Mr Quiff, it looks absolutely fabulous You are the man 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hi Colin Very brave to hand cut all those pieces, glad to see it all turned out so well. Every little addition makes it ever more your van.
Back on the tools, same over here in Warrington. Sold the Caddy, so gutted the Crafter, good idea or bad idea, the result will be the proof of it.
Done a great job there pal. I’m always looking for more storage ideas. Your workbench and tool choice is as good as mine. Make do with what ya got. 👍👍
Handy dandy bit of storage there matey!
What a nice and tidy job !

Viv (viv-i-van) is my converted vvaro camper van🤣🤣🤣 I keep thinking I've finished doing improvements on her and then along comes Colin and shows new ideas and it starts all over again. One of these days I might do some vids on it and stick em on my channel🤣
Looks good 👍 like the carpeting it can cover up many sins! Not that you have any on your cupboard 😊
Sees drill in thumbnail. Clicks.
Cheers Colin cost me more bloody money more room for more crap
Don’t forget a packet of pills for the headaches, nothing like a morning bang on the head when you forget about the cupboard being their!
Get a lwb Colin. Then you won't need all these extra little cupboards. And don't tell me that you can't park them. Its a load of tosh. Mine is lwb & it's my car as well. I have never had any trouble parking it. NEVER There is so much more room inside 400mm longer. Meaning 400mm base unit lus extra wall unit if needed And 400m extra floor space. Which is very nice especially when bed down

I'll be honest, if I could go back to when we first bought the van and having seen LWB vans at meet ups, i do wish we'd have gone for a LWB. But I'll stick with my SWB for now until we eventually (a long way off) get a larger van in the future possibly
Nice col, when will the van be finished...(Blackpool tower eh?)
Nice job! Did you do a walkthrough for the storage you built above hob and sink?

To be honest there pretty much universal fit across the traffics, transporter and transit custom as I’ve used mine on both vans then bought a second one. They fit really well and tuck above the top door seal and come with a clamps then the water just runs around the gutter and not in the van. There perfect

Very true buddy, but I have a rear view mirror that's has a camera on the outside of the van. So I can still see thankfully
It’s amazing that a bit of carpet can cover a myriad of ugliness!! ( only joking! 😂!) You do well, but for your sake and the sake of your viewers please treat yourself to some basic battery tools, they will transform your life!! Christmas is coming so put the hints in now. Love your work. Greetings from NZ.
