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...

    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
