In this episode we show you how easy it is to make a carpeted floor to fix items such as fridge slides and other storage solutions which requires no drilling or bolting into the tub. Best of all it removes in seconds, so you can still use the tray as intended!
I show you how to easily shape, carpet and install this simple solution, so come along as we show you how!
For those interested, we also work through a few simple mods to improve the usability of the tub as well as our fridge slide and battery solution. I was also going to run through some other accessories such as racks and storage options - however we will leave this for a future episode, as I have a few other ideas....
