The item in my kit

I bought FORTEM Folding Trunk Organizer as part of my camper van equipment.

The FORTEM organizer is another purchase in my storage kit. My patio-workshop diary records gathering tools and setting up a temporary working area, where carrying grouped equipment saves separate trips for loose pieces.

Where it fits my build

The van build used several working spaces, including the patio for the storage-bin drawer and an outdoor setup for the roof equipment. I measured and assembled the drawer frame on the patio before fitting the lining and slides.

During the earlier cargo-floor cleanup, I wrote about loading the tools back into the van and driving out to work. Moving and organizing the equipment was part of the practical routine around the fabrication tasks.

My build notes

The workshop arrangements changed with the job. The diary photos show both a timber assembly area and a portable saw setup, providing context for the work-holding and storage equipment in my purchases.

The kit had to move between storage, transport and the place where I was working.
