    0:45 I _strongly_ recommend Loctite threadlock in vans, especially in places like drawer runners that are a pain when they come loose.

    great addition Mel . I bet you will find a better way of securing the upper crates without the bungee cords. Nice to see you back on the Vario

    Hey Mel, Nice addition. I made a slide out drawer for the back of mine a few months ago, single decker drawer though. I put a 75mm up stand edge, 3” for us older folk, which negates the need for any bungee or straps and thus far the crates go nowhere. Certainly makes life easier getting to the rear crates just pulling the drawer out. Good job!

      I’m thinking about putting them on the back doors but to be honest they are not really priority like my diving and metal detecting equipment are that’s where my passion is and the direction that I’m looking at going I’ve even started a new channel all about treasure hunting 🤓🫶👍

    I don’t get the design, the fact that it pulls out doesn’t really help with the lower boxes, u still have to pull them out of the drawer to open them, so where do u put them to open them? On the ground? But hey if it suits u Mel then fair enough👍

      I dont get the concept. I would of built a shelf between 5 to 6 inches the full width, raised the battery's to sit on the new shelf that would maximise your space the draw underneath with compartments . you'd find things so much easier and you could lose 2 of them bins. Sorry to be horrible.keep up with the good content,I always look forward to your video's.wish you did more.

    Love your videos mate....but I don't see the point at all with this slider for plastic boxes. You can easily slide these boxes out from the back of the van without the slider. You've just added a whole lot of weight to pull around.

  • @Tom111060
    @Tom111060 8 часов назад

    Why you've built the drawer O N the slides instead of BETWEEN them? You lost at least 60 liters of cargo volume ...

    Sorry mel Can’t see the meaning in your design to make a box to put boxes in.
    Your choice tho mel. Hope it works for you.
    Good box make tho.

    Hello Mel, don’t really get it mate. A lot of work a lot of extra weight. Why didn’t you just put the plastic boxes under the bed? One on top of the other? If you was a mate of mine and I’ve known you for years, I would say you’re losing it. You better come and have a couple of beers, mate. I hope you haven’t lost it, mate.
