If it’s not in the van, it doesn’t go. Be ruthless & disciplined. Use every nook & cranny. It’s half the fun.

What do you guys use for storage when travelling long distances ?

Equally the smart use of plastic storage boxes behind the barn doors works well with some of the guys.

Yeah standard van conversion with barn doors.
Was thinking of getting a tow bar fitted , but then just seen how much the velospace is before I buy the box.

You could try BuzzRack. they going a decent write up: £160 fitted. A travel bag from Halfords would fit on it as well or any sturdy box you may have..
