What are your MUST HAVE supplies?

[thavil]

How do you carry all that in the trunk and keep it from flying around? I only have the duster in mine, but would like to have some cleaning supplies in there too.

 

I have a soft cargo carrier from WallyWorld that holds all of my supplies and sits perfectly on top of the battery shelf.

My wife has washed a car once that I remember, and that was at a drive thru. She does like to cut the lawn tho!

We have a lawn service...but she does like to play with dirt in the garden. She also likes to shovel snow. I bought her a snow blower that she doesn't like to use.

 

My "have to have supplies" include a blanket, first aid kit and light in case I have to change a tire in the dark. OOPS! I mean use the Tire Mobility Kit. My wife will not have anything to do with tires, so I include a AAA card to supplement the Ford Care in case of a blowout.

I put down some Rubbermaid shelf liner on top of the battery deck and have a case of water on it.

Good idea! Water is something we take fo granted here. Not so when we get out west. I also have a Personal Lifesaving Beacon, PLB, in the !st aid kit that goes with me from car to truck to boat.

I used to live in AZ - you get used to taking water with you everywhere. Just pull down the rear seat and there it is.

I have a Rubbermaid cargo carrier that has several bins. It's foldable and is secured to the floorboard via velcro.

 

 

Also, I would recommend keeping a brush designed for interior work and keep it. It'll be great to brush off the dust and bits that get caught in the crevices in the interior panels.

Would love to see shots of what others use to carry things in the trunk to keep them organized, and I'm sure others here would like them too.

Such a simple concept and I thank you for it.

I've been keeping some stuff on the upper battery tray and it's always been a hassle to manage from the trunk, until now.

I just open the back door, flip the seat down and there it is. Amazing.

Here's another trick. Water is mostly sold by the case wrapped in plastic. Just cut a small hole at the top center of the plastic covering, just large enough to pull out one bottle at a time. As you deplete the water the bottles won't fall out and roll around the trunk.

roll around the trunk.

I assume you are referring to the elephant you keep in the back seat, right?

I kicked the elephant out of the car. He didn't want to kick in for gas money....freeloader.

I was going to say something that used the word 'peanuts' but came to my senses.... :backtotopic:
