Small Van - How To Store Tile Trim?!

[moomarine]

I have a VW Caddy and im trying to think of the best way to keep full length (2.4m) trim in or on it? Looking at either a pipe tube or cutting a hole in the bulkhead but was wondering if any of you have some sort of tips for this dilemma?!

Think they're your options buddy. Or get them delivered.

Roof tube........but get cheapish plastic pipe.......the aluminium tubes, leaves rub marks on trim.

Problem with tube on roof is they are mostly 3m which is too long for a standard caddy van or do you mean make one myself?

Piece of downpipe, or do what I do, order it for the client to pick up or get it delivered direct!

On my VW I had a roof rack........an old piece of 110mm soil pipe......a plain flat bung on the front and a soft rubber bung on the back end......all for nowt.........salvaged from a skip.

Fold the trim in half?

Think I will prob go down this route as I think a tube on the roof will be overkill!

On my caddy I cut a small hole in bulkhead on passenger side about 3 inch square, simple

Where did you cut the hole? At the bottom?

 

[Flintstone]

Just where the grills are. Some don't have grills tho, just next to the head rest

The only good things about my van are the opening bulkhead with folding passenger seat and the flip up section of roof at the back. I've carried 5m beams!

I cut a hole in the bulkhead of my combo. Worked a treat.

I'm going to cut a hole in the bulkhead and put one of these in the hole so I can have it shut when I have no need for it. Keeps it neat and satisfies my OCD!
