I live in Vauxhall van full-time… £10 Ikea drawer transformed my tiny home – it’s the greatest hack of all time
A FULL-time van lifer has revealed a great hack that transformed her tiny home and made her life easy.
Van dweller Beth Johnstone claimed she might have found the best van life trick that just requires a £10 Ikea tool.
Beth shared the great trick on her TikTok channel where she regularly posts about her life living inside a van.
She said in the clip: "I think I have found the best van life Ikea hack of all time."
She then goes to her kitchen section to show the secret product - a pegboard drawer organiser.
Beth revealed the £10 Ikea product helps to keep her utensils together without having to worry about them flying around.

The van lifer explained: "This is the little pegboard thing for a drawer organiser.
"It comes with these [pegs] that you just put in and twist.
"Nothing is going to fly around and we can organise it however we want."
While Beth wrote the organiser was quite big and she had to cut it in half to place it inside the drawer, she wrote that she was pretty pleased with how it turned out.
Seeing the great hack, Beth's followers quickly flocked to the comments section to share their thoughts.
One such fan said: "This is so smart! About to work on a big drawer under my counter, and this is perfect! Thanks for sharing!"
Another wrote: "It’s so good! Wish we had one in our old van."
A third expressed: "We have that too! It’s so good."
It comes after a full-time van lifer revealed how they travel 500 miles a month for just £200.
Coren lives in a converted Ford Transit, which she has dubbed "Fifi" and transformed into a cosy mobile home.
To take Fifi up and down the country only costs a couple of hundred pounds a month.
As for energy bills, water and electricity are included in the price of the campsites and Fifi also comes decked out with solar panels on the roof to keep the power flowing when she's not parked up.
This means Coren pays absolutely nothing in rent, energy bills or council tax.
Elsewhere, another van-dweller explained how he transformed his motor into an "apartment on wheels" for just £290.
And an aspiring nurse revealed what he does on his off days while living in a van full-time.
Arslan from New Jersey started living in his converted micro-camper car a few years ago after being fed up with paying high rents.
In a YouTube video, he said: "My life completely changed a few years ago after I slept in my car one night and realised I saved 50 dollars.
"Since then I ditched paying rent and started living full-time in my car."
He now travels around the US in his Chevrolet SUV all while saving money from rent to build his own house.
The vehicle is so cramped inside that he can "barely crouch" but he wouldn't have it any other way.
