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

    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 👍👍👍👍

      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 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

    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!

    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.

      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 ☺️

    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.

      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

    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
      @JP_livingthedream  3 місяці тому

      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

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*
