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 .

We use non-slip matting in the pantry cupboard .

Microfibre cloths make great ' stuffers '

USING ‘ STUFFERS ’

NON-SLIP MATTING

Line cupboards and drawers to prevent contents from moving . It may not stop all movement , but non-slip matting goes a long way to keeping things in place while also preventing drawers and cupboards from being scratched .

These can be used for filling any void to stop things moving around . Microfibre cloths and spare linen , especially tea towels and flannels , make perfect stuffers .
