I’m thinking of investing in some Helinox seats as I find the VW ones not that comfortable and they have no head rest. They would also take up less space possibly freeing up the seat storage in the tailgate. With that in mind does anyone have ideas how the seat storage area in the tailgate could be put to alternative uses?
 
Anything lightweight but bulky could fit in. Such as sun canopies / shelters, waterproof clothing, etc.

Hi. We store the roof topper and screen cover and 2 pillows (pillows suctioned down).
 
I store a VW chair and Helinox sunset chair on one side. On the other side I have some packing cubes with spare clothes
 
we stored our two folded up Brompton bikes in their own B&Q plastic boxes in the rear space. it kept them contained and still left lots of room for other things.

B&Q plastic boxes? Any chance of a picture please?

Great ideas thank you. Just checked and there’s a British supplier for tailgate bags just in case that’s easier - plus one for this being a great idea as we’re 2½ weeks into a six stop tour of Britain for various different events and the two uncomfortable chairs less with the equivalent extra storage would have been ideal.

Good find :thumb
A search for California on the same website shows some other useful custom fit bags for the cupboards.

Wow! That’s remarkable

Surely you don’t mean in the tailgate chair storage do you? :eek:
