I don't really classify that as IN the boot though. On one car the wheel is under the boot, outside and the jack lives in it's own little compartment in the rear wing. In the other car the wheel is inside the car and the jack is in the rear wing but neither of which are "in the boot" - they're behind panels that define the extremities of the boot.

Well...I'll limit it to the 'boot' as the rest of the van is complete with the kitchen sink, fridge, bed etc etc.
From memory, two large DHB bike bags, one short and one long tow rope, a set of Goclaws (snow chains for mud), two huge levelling ramps, a single front passenger seat, (double currently up front) the removable half of a height adjustable tow bar, two toolboxes (empty) with the tools over the floor, two socket sets (in their boxes) a Lidl trolley jack, two axle stands, wheel bearing grease/rags/brake & clutch cleaner, some old car matts, a folding table, two folding camp chairs, a PortaPotti, (primed and ready to go) a couple of forgotten coats, fire blanket (on the wall) and a short hose pipe (plugs into the water system under the van for bike and horse washing)
Its a mess, its on todays list of 'tidying' but then it has been for two months...most of the tools/lifting equipment should be in the shed...

a dog tray thing,
a dog guard (not fitted),

I really should get round to clearing it out, but I need the bulk of that this weekend.
Willard will be mostly spending this weekend taking over a small country. 😯
Trail socks. Lots of them with mud on. Hence why I always seem to be hunting round for clean socks at home.
