I've found the army Thompson chests really usefull for side storeage - and they're light compared to making a wooden chest. They are also sealed, so nothing gets dusty and water can't get in.

or usually theres a guy selling them on the ex-mil stand at most of the big shows

I bought one at the last sodbury show. paid £25 for it. definately worth it. will probably get another to fit in the opposite side of the 110 when its built.

Ahh, too much faff. There's nowt you can't do with 6 quid and 2 ratchet straps!

I thought I'd revive this thread as I'm now redoing the inside of my landy and so have been trawling through the insides of others vehicles via their websites.

For those that follow here are some of the different setups I have come across in one easy place. Apologies to those who's pictures I'm posting without permission (email me if not cool). I need to sleep in the back and am looking to redesign the inside of my 110 to be easier to use and more comfortable.

Further to my earlier post in 2007!... I had similar thoughts about using the vertical space and put ex-mod Thompson chests in either side on the wheelboxes to use the height and give loads of useful storage -

I've taken them out and junked them now! They did provide a decent amount of cupboard space, but they were quite heavy, and took up a lot of space, leaving unusable voids at the back.
I found it a very impractical way of storing kit in the end, and it was difficult getting things in and out, usually involving moving a whole load of stuff out of the car so I could get the door to open. Making a cuppa at a rest stop or fishing something out was a real chore.

It's taken a while, mostly as I don't like buying expensive gear, but Ive finally bought some wolf boxes which do seem to be the most practical way to store stuff and the easiest way to get to it when you need it. I'm also never going to take so much stuff with me ever again.

ref the bed arrangement, I'd had thoughts in the past about making something for the 90 - it should be possible to make a roll-out bed base using aluminium slats - a bit like those fold up camp tables or a roller shutter door? In my 90 I could fold the font seat down, and have it running from the dash, resting on the bulkhead with the feet end resting on the tailgate or a bracket. In the day roll it up and pop it on a roofrack.
I'd probably need a central support nowadays as well, what with the pies...
