How do you arrange the stuff in your van?

[TBServices]

Should add, altering the link cables is a bit of a faff. I had to shorten them to make it look neat. The kit comes with crimps to do so. Just a bit fiddly.

Did you need the transformer or are they 12v? Forgot to ask!

 

[Dannypipe]

They're 12v mate, so jobs a goodun!

 

[TBServices]

So do you not need to buy the starter kit?

 

[Dannypipe]

So do you not need to buy the starter kit?

No, the starter kit is for if you were installing it under kitchen cabinets. With a transformer to take the volts from 240AC to 12DC.

Your van is 12DC anyway so no need to buy it.

[oz-plumber]

Just from floor to ceiling.
No specific order - larger heavier stuff at the bottom and lighter stuff piled on top.

We do different things from day to day so generally vans are unloaded and reloaded 3 to 4 times per week depending on whats required.

 

[lame plumber]

my van gets loaded/unloaded several times a week as well, depending on what I cant find!! 🙂

 

[newcastle phill]

just rig up a tazer with the capacitors from disposable cameras and wire them up to the door handles. if they try anything they will still be hanging off the handle in the morning.

 

[Ray Stafford]

"Lots of tools left in van overnight. Some valuable. Also, 1 x king cobra, 2 x deadly scorpions, and a trembler switch attached to a stick of jelly wrapped in 6 inch nails. Oh, and a camera to upload the outcome to you-tube. Do you feel lucky?"

 

[Ermintrude]

Narr it's the toon.

This van contains books, vitamins and loads of other tasty snack from holland and Barrett. Also 3 train tickets for a night out in Durham!

 

[lame plumber]

or just have a head shaped dent in your door, with a bit of writing saying this was the result of someone thinking about breaking in! and scatter some teeth on the floor 🙂 (teeth available outside most pubs on a Friday night on the floor or use the ones you find on the floor after shoving the thieving scrotes face into the van door 🙂)

 

[kay-jay]

When I was in Birmingham spent a whole day cleaning van in and out organized it all inside.
Went out to van in morning almost empty I made it easy for them thieving so and sos they could see what to take and what to leave...GGrRRR that's behind me now.
Now I have no fears of junkies and jakies violating my space I love Scotland esp Arran

Yeah, they are covers, easy to wipe down. :coolgleamA:

i do like looking at a well organised van

 

[abc_plumb]

Me to, I like looking at clever ideas of organising van space and tool boxes.
Using everyday items for certain tools or equipment storage.
