Someone asked for photos of the racking, so here they are;http://s99.photobucket.com/albums/l2.../Handy%20Van/?...

The vertical shelf unit holding the flat boxes is a temporary botch up from
scrap ply - wanted to make sure it was practical. *I will make a proper one
when I have time. *My folding step stool & folding ladder live behind it.

The shelf unit going across the van holds power tools underneath and four
IKEA plastic bins on top. *These hold stuff like Gripfil, silicone etc,
plumbing fittings, electrical accessories. The black bins to the left have
very light stuff in - washers, 'O' rings, ball valve kits etc.

Bit of a pain getting the ladder out and sometimes the power tools in the
right of the rack; it holds SDS Drill, router, planer, circ saw, cordless
nailer. *I may replace my circ saw soon - hopefully for one in a smaller
case.

All seems to work OK so far, but any suggestions welcome.

Well pleased with the van, Renault Kangoo. *1461cc direct rail diesel. *Much
quicker that I imagined it would be, very comfy & appears to run on fresh
air. *I put £25 in last Saturday & still have a third of it left.


And now that the contents have been analysed by half a dozen local tea
leaves you might consider the weight that your tools add to the daily
grind.

I worked out that my kit costs something in the range of 100Kgms, so
does yours by the look of it. If you could work out what you need for
the jobs you will be dooing that day you could save a bi more on fuel
and a lot more in security.
