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.

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

Don't you catch your wrist on there Kev? Lol looks tight

 

[kay-jay]

[kay-jay]

Done on one side. Now.
Will do the other side when I get chance.
Tidied up a bit too. Was surprised to find my van actually had a floor under all the crap.

Lol jambo.
Finally got round to sorting it out. Been a skip on wheels for months now as well you know.
Got sick of waiting for jase to sort it for me so I had a go at it myself.

Only roughed it in so irs far from perfect but its functional and it works well for me.

Them shelf faces look sharp and tight, I'dd bevel/round the edges or get some trim to cover them
Nothing worse than catching your wrist

Is that personalised leather seats??? Very nice

 

[newcastle phill]

pay for proper fitted shelving is best and most secure

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.
