How do you arrange the stuff in your van?

[lame plumber]

Yup, I like order in my van. My last little Combo drove me nuts.

After reading this thread, I went put my boots on, went out and sorted my van out from working yesterday. Re-stocked and tidied.

I was seriously impressed by yours. That racking looks great, but expensive!

Had to go to wales for it, came racked out, had to take most of it out to put the bulkhead panel in tho!!

That racking would have cost you a good few quid if you'd bought it seperate.

I buy from auction normally and the racking on the ex bt vans is always very well thought out.

Mickie, what lights have you got inside the van? I need to brighten up the inside of mine. I end up putting the head torch on in there!

i know exactly what you need and very effective too!. i used to wheel n deal them on fleabay part time i have a few left but i am keeping them for my kitchen and own truck..

organised kaos is the best way to describe mine..

 

[mickie]

haha no strobe lights under the van but the amount of light i have is needed so i can see whats in the racking and behind in the draws.. those LED strips are proper easy to wire into the interior light and cost only 5 quid off ebay..

what drill was it?

 

[Whl4852]

what drill was it?

Ive had them all, but the best by far is the smallish 10.8 volt lithium ion one. Pitched against my makita version it thrashed it. Only paid £30 and I believe they are in this week. 3 year guarantee and 1 year for trade use. Thinking of buying another one. Honestly well worth parting with the cash!

there 'dept store' crates 4 off, theres a drill box depth tray beneath these for sliding drills in & standing upright on the floor. there is 2 big 'bass' boxs for the sound up front top.lol followed by 2 large sandwich boxes for talon clips and solvent welds. next there is a gap for bits (wd 40, trv's etc) next near back door is 2 stanley boxes that fit perfect in the space. from the back door right box at bottom are tools, skill saw grinder etc, toilet parts above, drainage, then the weird box of bits. boiler parts on other side, fittings plumbing spares etc.
tool boxs down the middle and in back seat wells behind caging, cock key spirit level saws hoses at the back. multi ladder up in roof on cage and timber rest and the dogalarm.lol
and i can still get a boiler box and 900x450 cylinder down the middle
