Contents of the video

Alright folks, this particular video hopefully will explain to you the best way of packing your vehicle. Now, how I've done it in there isn't necessarily the correct, precise way of doing it, but it'll give you a general idea and hopefully I'll explain the reason why you should maybe follow certain tips in this particular video. OK, here we go. This is allegedly the world famous dodgy van and I'd just like to show you that area up there. Because I've got some more graffiti there. I'm really annoyed because every time I come to this van, I seem to get more of this orange graffiti. There's dots of it all over the damn place. Well anyway, here's the deal. There's the front of the van right next to where I drive and down here is the back of the van. Now you'll notice I've got virtually nothing at the back of the van. Everything is packed as far forward as possible. The one main reason is this. If I just bunged everything in here...

And left a big gap there in between the kit at the back of the van and where I drive. If I had to stop and brake suddenly, all those items would just move forward through the force of inertia, whack against me and that could be a very, very potential hazard. So ideally what you need to do is make sure all of your kit is secured tightly together. As tight as possible, alright, that is what you need to do. Again, the reason being there is so it's not going to wobble about all over the place. And think about it, you know, I could if I wanted to, I could put that on there, I could put that on there, but what I've done, I've tried to keep things down, as far down as possible. Alright, there's a cardboard box, but I just want to show you what I'm going to do from that camera angle to something like this.

Okay, basically what I've done is I've covered everything over. One main reason for that is when you close your van and if you do have to leave your items in your van for half an hour or an hour or so, at least then if people look inside the van they're just going to see blankets and covers. In other words, you don't really want to start showing people that you've got items of value in the back of your vehicle. That is exceedingly important as well. Alright, again, listen, there's a whole bunch of people out there who've got loads more advice. So, bung a video on as a response, leave a comment and let us know some tips from you as well. Thanks for watching, practice and enjoy.
