Undervan Storage
I see that there are decent underslung water tanks that are useful for our vans however has anybody ever used / made an underslung storage box? As we have a pop top roof I am trying to think of extra ways to store stuff out of our way. We have a handy seat / storage box which is great but there is a lot of space underneath between the chassis rails that could be used so wondered if anybody has done this or have any ideas?
Thanks

Hi, we have a roof rack, swing away wheel carrier, a Jerry can holder on the ladder and also folding panniers on the opposite side to the slider. We have a 55ltr range fuel tank to fit underneath at some point.

Doesn't Dai have storage boxes dropped into the floor of his Syncro?

Re: Undervan Storage
He does, accessed from inside the van by the slider and from outside on the other side. Tom Middleton has undervan lockers too.

Re: Undervan Storage
I have an unused water tank fitted underneath, we never used the water from it, and I’ve been considering using it to store tow rope etc . Cut and hinge a section so I can retrieve items easily.

Re: Undervan Storage
I've looked at this a few times, might try the ammo box option to see how it goes. I don't fancy cutting into my floor just yet.

It's not me, it's the wife and kids....
That said we have kids seats in the back so a bit of a pain to take seats out in order to get to tools etc. in that big cavernous space under the seats. I was looking at underslung storage for stuff like levelling ramps, and a water tight box for other bits.

Re: Undervan Storage
Put a hatch into the underneath seat storage! No need to lift the seat at all then.

Re: Undervan Storage
Also, if you have a rear spare wheel carrier, then you can stick a Trasheroo on it for a bit more space.
