Inspiring Motorhome, Caravan and Campervan DIY Modifications
A Vanner's Collaboration August 2023

[@CraftyCampervanners]

Like the box/draw idea. We use the pondland plastic containers, but they waste space as they are irregular. :)

[@Ian-Bennett]

It was quite difficult finding squarish tubs. I got them B&M in the end and the handles from I Excess.

[@PoshcatsCamping]

Love your shelves and drawers. Excellent storage improvement. 💙🚐 Trev n Sue

[@Ian-and-Antonias-Escapades]

Hi, long time no speak. It used to wind me up that I could never find anything at the back of the wardrobes. I initially just made one for me. Now Antonia wants two more for her wardrobe. Aaahhh

[@DesmondsDonders]

Now that box with the handle is inspiring. Neat Solution to the Firestick problem. We do not have legs but I do put out a trailcam, so already use that idea. Love it.

[@Ian-and-Antonias-Escapades]

I just cut up an old T-shirt. I have a sublimation printer that lets me print on material although a felt pen message would work just as well. Then I got Antonia to sew it for me as I had no idea how to operate the sewing machine.

[@carolynandcocohaywood2638]

Thanks I’ve just ordered my fire stick support.

[@Ian-and-Antonias-Escapades]

I posted it first thing this morning. Let me know how you get on with it 😊

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Love the shelves idea. Nice idea for a collab, well done.

[@Ian-and-Antonias-Escapades]

Glad it worked out OK.. I was pleased to see so many take part.

[@mark-hazelsmotorhomeadventures]

Hi @BobEarnshawMoHo spoken to Ian And was wondering if our channel could also be considered to join the vanners Collaborations Best wishes Mark

[@TheBeckwiths]

Like the shelves and the boxes with the handles. But that fire stick is great, our traditional one travels in the bed and free stands next to the door.

[@Ian-and-Antonias-Escapades]

I've very impressed with the Fire Safety Stick. Its a tad expensive but worth in the long run as it has a 15 year shelf life and requires no maintenance.

[@ttxela]

We've got a traditional extinguisher in the new van but had the Firestick in the old van, that bracket is a great idea 👍

[@Ian-and-Antonias-Escapades]

I was very disappointed with the bracket it came with. It is completely useless for mobile use.

[@vansforthememories]

Hi Ian & Antonia, some good ideas, I like the steering wheel cover reminder, very good 😁 Thanks for sharing, Em & Gary 💜

[@Ian-and-Antonias-Escapades]

But was it inspiring LOL? I'm sure it would have made you laugh if you could have seen Antonia and I trying to get our new sewing machine to work to enable us to make the steering wheel cover. Luckily Antonia is a LOT more patient than I am.

[@vansforthememories]

@@Ian-and-Antonias-Escapades 😁definitely inspiring & a very clever idea, I can see you selling these at a show or an online shop 😁 If you saw me trying to thread 🧵 my sewing machine, you’d definitely be laughing, I’ve literally zero chance of ever doing my curtains!! ☺️ Em x

[@LeisureBit]

Love the boxes with handles - never mind the van I could do with these at home! Great ideas Rachel & David

[@Ian-Bennett]

Glad you found them useful. Antonia is not very tall and nagged me about not being able to reach them. 😊

[@LeisureBit]

@@Ian-Bennett I can’t reach our cupboards in the kitchen either and I’m not small! 😡

[@Ian-Bennett]

@@LeisureBit 😂

[@mark-hazelsmotorhomeadventures]

We have the same van as you and are on the 79 owners forum too What a great idea for the home made draw in the wardrobe and the handles on the storage crates above the sink might have to pinch those ideas 🤜 P.s if you also don’t mind me asking how do you get to join these collaboration videos ? Keep up the great videos just subscribed Mark & Hazel .

[@Ian-and-Antonias-Escapades]

We like the 79 owners forum too but have found the Motorhomefun forum/website to be the best for information. Did you see our other hints an tips video as that is also for the 79-4. As for joining the collaboration I just emailed and asked if we could join. When we joined we only had 84 subscribers. Just subscribed to you too. 😊

[@mark-hazelsmotorhomeadventures]

@@Ian-and-Antonias-Escapades yes I’ve seen that vlog too I will have to have a look at that forum . Interesting who do you email please see if I can get in on it too

[@Ian-and-Antonias-Escapades]

​@@mark-hazelsmotorhomeadventures You can find motorhomefun at www.motorhomefun.co.uk. It was Bob Earnshaw who I contacted re. the group. I'll see if I can find his email address. Or he has a Facebook page: facebook.com/BobEarnshawMoHo/?locale=en_GB
