Hi folks,
As my plans to modify my van to hold all my gear develop, I'm thinking more and more about making some custom cabinets underneath the sprinter. Not that there is too much room to spare, but there are some things that seem like they would lend themselves to this use:
Unfortunately I'm away on work or I would be underneath my van right now to identify spaces that would be usable for this purpose...
What have others on this list done to maximize space underneath? Pictures would be especially nice.
Thanks!
P.S: I did a few google searches on this site but didn't find anything--perhaps I was using the wrong key words. Nevertheless, I'm guessing this topic has been discussed many times before. If so, I apologize for rehashing the topic. Links to other threads will be interesting too!
As my plans to modify my van to hold all my gear develop, I'm thinking more and more about making some custom cabinets underneath the sprinter. Not that there is too much room to spare, but there are some things that seem like they would lend themselves to this use:
- My toolbox is pretty heavy, and it seems like if I mounted tools outside they would be accessible where I use them, and mounting them underneath would lower my CG *just a bit*.
- It would be nice to store propane bottles underneath and outside of the passenger/living space. (obviously this sort of cabinet would have to be strong to make it invulnerable to getting busted open!)
- A chord for shore power, emergency supplies, etc.
- The removable awning I'm planning to make for the van
- Spare fuel and water cans
