Van bucketlist

[Stanios]

Time has come for me to upgrade my vw polo to a real van! Getting a long wheel base transit connect with high roof. Got lots of work to do when I get the van. So far on my list I've got roof rack, bulkhead, rhino tubes. Other than that Im lost at how to outfit the interior (racking) and what kind of storage or other nifty things I can have in the van.

Heres what I've got to work with

Any helpfull suggestions will be much appreciated!

If it's long wheelbase I would put a false floor in and put pipe in that instead of tubes. Less likely to be knicked.

Get a bulkhead in for security.

Cup holders on the back of the seat? That'll never catch on....

Well ye know yourself what ye need to carry. Could put a false floor and ply shelving but I don't kno how much weight ye put in d van. Ye can pick up some nice ply shelving diy kits made especially for each van.
Myself I do mainly commercial servicing/ repair. I've some shelving, then I carry stock/tools in baskets that a bakery might carry fresh bread in. Van can be then emptied or rearranged for large items to b carried.

Somebody on this forum recommended 12v aquarium led light strips on eBay. They are truly amazing. Great in the winter months. As mentioned forget the rhino tubes and go internal.

Surely it just spills everywhere.

I thought you were talking about the aquarium from the post above yours 🙂

Yeah that would get really irritating really quickly!

Don't reckon you'll get 3m of pipe in a transit connect!

As said above, definitely fit a bulkhead, increases security and massively cuts down on noise

Get a bulkhead, a van vault, deadlocks, 12v led lights ( britalitez ) and some nice home made raking!

Defo get extra lock as Transits are getting targetted by gangs with skeleton keys!

Absolutely agree with this

 

[lame plumber]

from what I've seen they just use crow bars and pull the doors off their runners, no need for any keys!!!!!!!!!!!
