So it looks like I own a Berlingo car!

I'm taking 2 of the rear seats out and will keep it as a 3 seater!

Can anyone recommend any useful gadgets for securing or storing bits in the car come van.

I've been looking at a heavy duty cargo net to secure gubbins down incase of an accident, good idea?

thanks ๐Ÿ™‚

that's not a bad idea, you might need additional [url= http://www.uscargocontrol.com/Ratchet-Straps-Tie-Downs/D-Rings-D-Ring-Tie-downs ]D ring mounting points[/url] (sorry for the US link), and ratchet straps for generally securing in the 1st place. That what my brother used in his berlingo van (had a security cage, so didn't need a cargo net) to secure our bike in the back

alexxx....congratulations on your purchases, i to have just bought a Berlingo and i live in Ulverston(Swarthmoor)!!!!!, what a coincidence, mine is the Multispace and has that many pockets and storage areas that i'm sure i'll never see some stuff again!. I just need a good quality tow ball mounted bike rack for mine and i'll be very happy. What colour's yours? will give you a wave if i see you out and about.

we use big plastic storage boxes[for all biking gear- they can stack as well]each (we are a couple), single seat out, so two bikes down side (front wheel out), the two plastic boxes fit behind the twin rear seat (so use the twin rear set and foot well for all clean stuff and normal weekend stuff, campng gear etc).

I use motorbike straps (1" hooks both end and adjuster) and 3m windsufer straps (1" trap with adjuster), have managed 2 bikes, 1 Beta alp trail motorbike and an 8ft 6 surfboard (balanced on top diagonally,gf is handily short so it rested on her set headrest
