Can I ask a stupid question?

Why are you using waterproof paint?

The inside is painted with auto paint which is on the outside of the van also, you don't see it rusting every time it rains lol so y the need for another layer internally??

not a stupid question.

the paint isnt just for waterproofing. its anti-slip, impact resistant too, plus you sit any car/van in water long enough it will soon rust. its just an extra mesure to make sure that you look after the van and not having to get repairs done

All boxed up, like I wanted! I just need to add to hinges on the top so I had a lid thing for putting the water in also I can probably fit my small di in there along with a few other bits and bobs.

The floor paints was a total fail! lol. I should have the proper paint stuff tomorrow providing the courier is on time.

yer striping it back will be the best bet, if that didnt take then no other paint will go over it.

Well lesson learned lets hope no one else makes the same mistake ae. Good idea that... I may just do that depends how easy it comes off.

Marc, I strongly advise putting back the ratchet straps as looking at the video how you have secured it does not look at all that safe. Not criticism but thinking about your safety. Also I find the garden hose is prone to air locks so you may experience problems in the long run.

Oops sorry just seen video 6
