My 2024 Garden Maintenance Van Set up and how I TRANSFORM it into a CAMPERVAN

[@laurencechapman1990]

Awesome set up. I’m thinking of getting a L4 boxer/relay van which I could live off grid in and use for my gardening business. Just need to play around with designs to make sure it can all fit in!

[@JP_livingthedream]

Thank you mate, ah that sounds cool bud.. it’s all about making the most of the space you have. All the best with it 😊 JP

Subscribed.......I like your style mate. My VW Transporter is lined out inside......it's a day van as opposed to being a full on camper. I've managed to not wreck it despite 8 years of gardening business use!! Anyhow.......very informative.

[@JP_livingthedream]

Ah mate, that’s brilliant- I’d love a Transporter, it’s something I’m working towards, they’re just iconic. Yeah it may take a little more time and care but it is possible to keep a van tidy and still use it for both. Thank you so much for subscribing also, really appreciate it mate ☺️ All the best JP

Hey JP, that is a lovely van! All of your lawn mowing equipment and tools are so clean, mine are a bloody mess! 😂

[@JP_livingthedream]

Hey mate, ah cheers yeah I spend every other Sunday cleaning everything down properly again and it helps to keep the van tidy mate. Really appreciate you watching 😎 JP

[@Frazercuts]

Nice van layout. I highly recommend getting Darwin grip strimmer handles. Saves bending over all day strimming

[@JP_livingthedream]

Thank you mate, appreciate that. Do you have a link to them at all please? Need all the help I can get with my poor back lol 😂 Cheers JP

[@alandykes2519]

I always wondered how you put all your equipment in the van absolutely excellent setup there mate so neat and tidy well done I'm a valeter and i see some pretty disgusting vans and cars 👍👍👍👍

[@JP_livingthedream]

Hi mate, Ah wow I didn’t know you were a valeter, I have always had a passion for car cleaning, I was on the verge of setting up a mobile valeting company a few years ago, I’ve got a bit of an ocd with keeping things tidy. It may take me 30 mins extra a day to clean my equipment down and sweep the van out but it’s so worth it to have a nice tidy layout in my opinion. The bed cover and tool wall work well and also the floor cover too. Thank you mate, really appreciate it 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 JP

really clean set up love it.

@@hakszz Thank you very much 👍🏻👍🏻

[@tinkeringtaylor3053]

It's a good setup you have, and all your equipment is clean 👌 👍

[@JP_livingthedream]

Cheers mate, I am a bit OCD with keeping everything clean and in its place lol 😂 Thanks again JP

Great video Jamie 👌 Subscribed 👍

Thank you so much 🙏🏼 Means a lot J

Hi nice set up, wish my van was that clean and organised 😂 I currently use a swb vw caddy, looking to upgrade to something we also can use for camping (taking a tent) with family, wife and 2 kids so need something with at least 4 seats, thinking about a pick up but don’t think the cab will be big enough for all my tools etc, what’s your view on pick ups to use for gardening? Think a van would be better for tools etc, but don’t get the seats. Cheers, look forward to watching more of your vids, just subscribed.

[@JP_livingthedream]

Hey thank you so much for the sub and for watching. Yeah pick ups are great for gardening but obviously having expensive machinery on the back is a risk when on jobs etc but there’s no denying that for chucking stuff on and tipping waste etc they are great. I clean my van out every weekend, it does get a bit dusty etc through the week but because of the board o we the bed and the floor cover and liner it literally takes 20 mins to clean and turn back into a camper so it works for me. Really appreciate you subbing and there is so much more to come from the channel now we are started. All the best JP 👍🏻👍🏻

[@craigwatson3360]

Hi great tidy van but what do you do to get rid of garden waste without messing up the interior as this is something that I was thinking of doing with my vauxhall movano

[@JP_livingthedream]

Hello and thank you for watching. When I collect waste from jobs I usually empty the mowers and stuff out and then I can get 4 tonne sacks full in my van with no mess, and for anything bigger I use my mates pick up. If you want some pics when it’s loaded I’ll send some to you next time I do it 👍🏻 All the best JP 😎

[@craigwatson3360]

@@JP_livingthedream that would be great thanks

[@craigwatson3360]

Also don’t you get a lot of spiders in the van as they seem to appear everywhere in mine

[@JP_livingthedream]

@@craigwatson3360 No mate, I’ve got a battery hoover and give it the once over every night but to be fair I use my blower and clean the mowers and strimmers down before they come back in the van. Can’t beat a clean set up 👍🏻

[@blackwolfgaming1975]

@@craigwatson3360YES! The spiders! I usually don’t get time to take greenwaste to the drop off point so I always have 1-2-4 tonne bags in the back of my van and the spiders are a nightmare. I don’t like them and almost crashed a couple of times when they drop down from the visor! Haha *note to self, empty green waste bags from the van at the end of each work day*

[@samueljaramillo4221]

Do you do all your mowing with a push mower? Do you own or use a riding mower?

[@JP_livingthedream]

@@samueljaramillo4221 Depends which gardens I’m doing, I do have access to ride on mowers when I need them, but I tend to be able to manage using my self propelled machines. Thanks for watching 😎👍🏻

[@adrian_dickinson]

hi Where do you get the work handle divider/tool rack from is it any good.

[@JP_livingthedream]

@@adrian_dickinson Hi, they are just from Amazon or Screwfix and yeah they do t he job and hold everything pretty well 👍🏻 All the best JP

[@thisnthat6972]

Where do you put waste if you have to take green waste with you

[@JP_livingthedream]

@@thisnthat6972 I don’t, it’s bagged up and I’ve got a bloke who comes and removes it to the tip for me, all fully licensed and insured. It just means I only have to turn up, do the job and go 👍🏻
