New Van Racking

[wozz]

I think units with the removable systems cases are fantastic. Best things to store screws, fuses, crimps, nuts, bolts.

did you get those compartment boxes from Makro? got 3 of them in my van, and a few at my unit / home

You mean the ones with the orange handles at the end of the racking?

IIRC I got them from B&Q 2 or 3 years ago

As for the other boxes I've had them for 8 years or so

BTW, dont make your shelves 2', it was just some I had kicking around and couldnt be bothered trimming down, 16" is plenty,

and the 1" ply isnt usually there, I only had it for a job, as you can see its 7' long and wont fit in the load bay, the other bit is 8' and 'just' fits using the whole parcel shelf.

I was quite surprised ..........I expected to see 5000 earth rods and nothing else. :innocent

looking good Noz,

one thing gets me though, and lots of folks do it,

why rack past the door?

I like to be able to have access through my doors, fair enough if there is only one, but if there is 2 then I like to be able to use both,

then again, my van is a complete mess compared to most peoples, maybe it IS ME who has it wrong!!!  :|

Well, i racked past the door because of slips advice and i think it might work for me; using that bit of rack for things i dont often use (and my vac),,, the other stuff i can get to from the other side door or back doors (hopefully)

P.S. the van looks quite a bit different now

P.P.S. the racking also serves as a ladder to gain access to my roof bars

Need to get mine sorted soon as im getting fed up of trying to find parts in the back under all the crap in there. Got the bulkhead off eBay a few weeks ago going to fit that this week then decide of how best to rack the van out.

Should have gone for one with the side door would have made things a little easier
