How do you arrange the stuff in your van?

[Subby]

It would be good to find out how you all keep your van organised.

My Renault Traffic is a complete nightmare. I have 3 steel shelves on each side in the back of my van.
I keep my fittings etc sorted into different hesien bags which are stuffed onto the shelves.
I have a big toolbox on wheels for most of my hand tools etc and an open tote that I keep the tools i'm taking into the job. I keep my screws washers etc in a screwbox with compartments, I have a plastic crate for all my fuxes, silicone, freeze sprays, cutting oil etc and I have a shelf for offcuts of pipe and a shelf for small toolboxes (socket set, bits, holesaws etc)
My drills and toolboxes, foldup ladders wetvac and all scrap are all kept on the floor of my van. Lengths of pipe are also kept in the back poking through the bulkhead, hosepipe and leads are hanging off the pipe.

I am getting a new van like this tomorrow, want to know a better way of sorting my kit out. Do I get shelving? what type? what do you lot do?
Thanks, Subby.

pay for proper fitted shelving is best and most secure

and a tailgate is essential to keep dry imho.

Organised is not a word that often describes my van! Really need to give it a good going through tomorrow. May take a pic if it looks respectable at the end! But have shelving down drivers side, and a set aof drawers for boiler spares. Floor for materials, tool box, hoover, etc. Pipe goes on top of shelving and over cab. Hoses on top of cab also.

Seems to work ok, could always have more stuff though!

could get all that in my old kangoo, if fact I could get my kangoo in there ( if the wife hadn't drowned it)

Still plenty of space to fit boilers, drums for pumping out oil tanks, powerflushing kit though.

Dedicate one hour each week to re load everything in, it's my system and it works for me :drool5:

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!

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!
