Fits snug behind the front seat as well.

Do you use water from your well, Mick?

We did buy an expensive pump years ago, but there’s only 2 or 3 cubic metres down there.

It takes a long time to refill, so not worth the effort.

Sold the pump.

Didn’t fancy spending a few days down there digging and having the wife haul up buckets of sloppy mud? You surprise me.

Exactly!

My hired man (19) has one of those bottomless quick filling type wells. He uses the water a lot for various jobs.

I suspect it does have a bottom but will google what you mean. I’m trying to buy a property with no mains connections so I’ll have to learn about it at some point anyway.

Made a box out of old bits lying around to keep the batteries in one place in the van.  

I did similar a few days ago to stop the trolley jack rolling around the load bed. Note the lazy man's tool for pulling it out. Unfortunately I didn't have yew or walnut to make the box with, hence use of plywood offcuts.

Outstanding work fellas. Great carpentry skills on display. You all fell into the wrong vocation.

 

I need to build a pull-out draw for the back of the jeep.

Simpler method is park facing up hill, drop the tailboard and then drive forwards suddenly. They say necessity is the mother of invention.
