17' Series Boot organisation and space saving

[Trouble_Within]

Hi all,
Just thought I would put the question out there to see if anyone had any ideas for the boot space on the 17-56 models? At the moment everything is thrown in randomly without any sort of organisation involved. Has anyone managed to devise a setup that works and makes everything easy to get in and out and not tangle up?

I was thinking about putting a loooong draw in either side of mine so everything could be accessed easily. Like some of them up market fancy vans have. Keyword " Thinking" .

Now if someone on the forum was a wiz the the aluminium the could make em up and sell em! Just saying.

I'd buy 2!!

I like the idea of the hose bags you can buy off eBay to store your fresh water and sullage hoses in nice and neatly.

Someone has done the draw idea in a front boot but I cant remember who, but it looks a treat

Front boots are for the element of surprise - you know its in there somewhere , always pulling it all out when you arive at your destination !!!!!

Was thinking about a drawer or something similar for under the chasis.

The dealer has already stained our flooor with the annex bags being left on tbe floor in delivery. Want to have them stored away so they are not in the way if we go away and don't use the annex but would like to have it there just incase.

Anyone done this...

I'm pretty sure it was @mikerosenkids Cruza.

I want to keep the boot for other things not the annex. Want it stored separately under the van....time to do some engineering. ..can do it woth houses so here goes nothing...

I keep my drinking water hose in a hose bag and strapped into/onto the spare wheel.
Sullage hoses of various lengths are pushed inside the chassis members (doubled over). No muck in the van!

@17triton has also done a nifty number above, as you see. Not sure which thread it's from, but I saved this photo of it bc thought it was a great idea for keeping things sorted (thanks @17Triton:yo

Hi @Trouble_Within,
I did this a few weeks ago, it's a false floor raised 120mm and carpeted top and bottom. I got the idea off this site, I think they did it on a 16'.

Cheers.
