Having our first caravan delivered tomorrow, it’s 2nd hand, we’ve never towed and nearly 60 yrs old. So off to IKEA Friday for bits and bobs while hubby takes a towing course 😂

IKEA is ace. Ten years ago, when I was converting my VW Transporter van here in Scotland, I bought and repurposed quite a few parts from IKEA including an office cabinet tambour door kit, kitcen drawers and runners, bed slats kit for my pull-out double bed, a square salad bowl now used as a wash up basin in my smev sink unit etc. I'm still buying items which I cut up, cover in mega-stretch carpet and use to enhance my storage spaces. 😊😊

Great suggestions 😄

Amazing video bro appreciate it

A good video plenty of ideas there are quite a few items I would have bought if I had known, keep up the good work

Ikea do a large range of felt storage boxes - a great way to reduce the rattle factor! The Besta & Complement ranges are good for the. inside of cupboards

Thanks. I was just looking for something like that 👍

Excellent video l😊

Used your discount code to buy the new Poynting 4x4 LTE antenna. This replaced a Poynting mimo shark fin type antenna which to be honest was too big and looked out of place on our van. Used your discount code for the 10% off plus the bonus was they were already the cheapest on the internet! Cheers Chris

That's great News - We love the low profile of it too!

Good video, how did you fix the trofast storage unit to your van?

Thanks! Thankfully the LandRover has tie down hooks in the boot so it was simple to put a couple of holes in the base for those to go through with a bolt through the eyelet to secure it. An alternative would have been luggage straps through the bottom and under the folded down rear seat that it sits on.

Amazing finds there!! You know the off cuts for free, is that in the shops or warehouse?

In our local store the free stuff is outside by the carpark, by the lifts (so you can even go and check when the store is closed) There isn't always stuff there, but I would say 80% of times we go there is something. Inside they also have "Bargain Corner" which has left over bits that are "sellable" you can pick up some good stuff with big discounts in there.

Your commercial and constant channel logo between each item is ANNOYING! Stop that.

Almost as bad as loud or too much music.
