Our Van Upgrades

[coxy45]

Forgot to add that I redesigned the Van boot.
Screwed in 2 x 15 mil thick boards right across back wall, all attachments etc etc are held on with Tool Clips.
If I sell the Van,all I have to do is take out 8 screws & refit boards in new Van.

Everything has its place & easy to find.
Would like to post a pic, but have given up working out how to upload !!!

Best thing I ever did was install a dishwasher.

Cost me a fortune and finished up having to marry her.

Yep my old dishwasher would not work anymore so I had to get a new one ...

The Devorce cost me a fortune as well...
