    Ok so finally got myself a wagon. Using it for a mixture of general car and also biking.
    Was going to kit the rear out nice and keep a few bits in.
    What do you have in yours, what do you wish you had, and what would you recommend?

    Think I’m going to get it ply lined then maybe carpet, led light maybe? And a bucket for cleaning purposes and other things

    Is yours fitted with the builders van entertainment package? It’s a must have option for any van…

    Added some storage bits since then. Basically cannibalised shoe racks from Ikea. They carry a ridiculous amount of bits

    Two bikes in with loads of room

    Yeah they’re great. With the exception of my sleeping bag, all my cooking, eating and sleeping kit (air mattress, pillows) stays permanently in the van

    Waterproof seat covers. <£20 off ebay and worth it to protect seats over winter…

    My van’s also got a 115dB PA/siren system off ebay….that’s fun 🙂

    A Jetboil for making a cuppa after a ride.
    Spare pair of old SPD shoes as I’ve forgotten my shoes on quite a few occasions and meant missing the ride.
    Spare tubes and pump.
    Camping chair so you’ve got somewhere to sit in the sun.

    The best thing I’ve probably fitted to the van is a split charge set-up. It’s running a set of LED interior lights and there’s a couple of 12v sockets for running a portable jetwash or for charging phones etc.
    I also use it for running a Waeco 12v fridge which was a bit pricey but absolutely brilliant during the summer!

    you want a fold down table on one of the rear doors, a couple of folding camping seats, a fry pan, spray olive oil, kitchen towel, tommy K, metal mugs and a kettle to go on a camping gax stove.. get a whistling kettle for entertainment.

    plenty of washing line for drying stuff in van or outside, make a ‘bed’ like in the van above but make it folding as well so you have room to work in van.

    blackouts if the cab isnt enclosed that early morning sun is bright..

    Impact socket and long breaker bar.
    Heavy duty trolley jack.
    Bits of wood for the trolley jack.
    I work at an oem and everyone I know who has their own van regardless of the make carries these. Including the wheel and tyre supervisor. Take from that what you will.
