im just wondering what you guys carry around in yer van to fix problems that arise wfp to get you back working again!


im goin to buy a small plastic toolbox tommorrow for spare connectors/clips/tape etc.

Pretty much as above plus a cigarette lighter.  I don't smoke but it can be useful for softening hose.  Probably counts as a hoselock connector but I always have one or two spares of the male connector on the side of the hosereel.

iv a few small storage bins (buy in BnQ ) fixed  up in my van , 3 each side ,just inside the rear doors . this saves rooting around in boxes on the floor . i picked storage bins with mesh holes in the side so can easily see whats in each bin. i use cable ties to fasten the bins up. they are  £3.99 for a pack of 3 bins ,a silver colour about 12"x4" about 4"deepeach bin ,the sort of plastic that never breaks

Duct tape? Just to clarify to Dazmond, I'm talking about the super strong silver plastic tape. The brand I have is called DUCK tape. Even got little pictures of ducks on it  ;D Is DUCT tape the same?
