OTHER STORAGE IDEAS

ORIGINAL PACKAGING
While the above are some of the more common items that can break in a van while it is being towed , here are a few other ideas to help keep your fragile items safe …
Aim to keep fragile items in their original packaging , especially odd-shaped items , such as kettles and toasters , which can easily be damaged . This will restrict their movement and make them easier to store .

Microfibre cloths make great ' stuffers '
