The item in my kit

I bought BedRug VanTred Transit Extended Floor Liner as part of my camper van equipment.

The VanTred floor liner is one of my purchased interior materials. Cleaning out the cargo floor was a distinct job in the diary, including drill-mounted brushes for residue that remained after sweeping and mopping.

Where it fits my build

The preparation session began with sweeping the cargo area. I followed with a mop and floor-cleaner spray, and used a towel and Simple Green on the walls.

For material that remained stuck to the floor, I used wire-brush and nylon-brush drill attachments. I dried the cleaned floor with a towel after working through those stages.

My build notes

Dust and residue had accumulated while I was repeatedly loading tools into the van and driving out to work on it. This session was about getting the cargo area ready for the next material stage.

The loose dirt, stuck-on residue and final drying were separate preparation jobs.
