Good work!! Is it fixed to the base or r u just relying on the hard lid to hold her in??

Here you go. Scroll down for the first picture.
Same setup I applied over 5 years ago.
Gravity does most of the work and the tie down straps you can see just keep it in place.
It travelled probably in excess of 10,000 km in this location with no drama. I cut 5cm wide rubber matting (kept loose, not glued) for it to sit on and dropped a couple pieces over the top to keep from running on the underside of the bed.

Gravity at the moment but as twscoot did I will place some rubber in there to help hold it. Unfortunately I had to remove the xxxx to close the lid

Thanks, Jim74.. This is brilliant! Tried it last week & it's made so much more space in the van.
Seems such an obvious thing.. now that we know!
Really appreciate the tip

What a great solution, thanks for sharing

 

[jim74]

Simplicity at its best

I never thought of putting stuff behind the lids, kids boogie boards already loaded behind rear door, the same table will be behind front lid after trip to bunnings to get some tie down brackets, then away for the long weekend with some extra space in the van

Simple is Brilliant, excellent idea

 

[Soaring]

Mine is still going well,

We put the table in that place but have pieces of pool noodle cut and notched so it does not slide around.

We were packing up the other day from Warrnambool and I had someone come up to me and give me the biggest thanks for the idea while watching me place our stuff under the front lid too, told them I have been doing it since I had the van. Pace.

Top idea to all those already doing this. That's a good size table jim74 was wondering where you got it from. Hopefully a chain store as I'm in Melbourne. Cheers Brett

They're from Bunnings, I got the 1800 mm one for $30 before Christmas.
