    Hey guys :)

    Thinking about putting some things in my van to make it a bit more comfortable for racing. Got some old carpet to put down on the floor and some loft insulation to put on the sides behind the ply. What would you recommend for the roof? I might be able to get some cheap armaflex from work to adhesive to the roof. Wanting to keep it on the cheap side.

    OPen to suggestions

    cheers

    I've got carpet on my plywood on the side panels as well, looks rather flash ;)... I got the bike on one side, then the fridge, 3 crates of gear, my paddock stands and tyres and between that and the bike a easy up gazebo thing.... that goes out at night next to the van, all the crap in there and the bike, all closed up, bike locked to the van wheel and got an inflatable double air bed, just fits. Also got one shelf that folds out from a side panel to put my crap on there when sleeping....

    fridge has to be the most important part of kit that I take along.... nothing like cold beers the night before and a few after a day of racing

    Hopefully you guys can see this as I've just tried tapatalk for the first time ;-) the piece of carpet on the floor I can remove, otherwise I have some vinyl in there. On the right there are now 2 hooks for my pitboard, used to be a little shelf, might change it back as I wont be needing te pitboard. This is in a twin cab vivaro lwb, blade just fits in with the stand
