I might treat it to the rug doctor once a year!

After seeing how everyone else stores tools etc in their vans I decided that I needed a bit more storage space. I found that I was just piling tools and buckets ontop of each other, and making a mess when looking for stuff. So I built a new piece of racking that is now home to my ts60, drills, grinder, radio, trowels, floats and a shelf for bits and bobs. Even got a bit of carpet off a mate and carpeted the floor. Only did it at the weekend and already I'm seeing the benefits and I know where everthing is!! Old pics first to save going back through the posts.

Good job there Brian

Nice one, I like a tidy van.

I usually load my van with tools and cutters for each job depending on what I need, and I keep every thing else in the store. I have loads of shelves, with a set space for individual items, so you know exactly where they are. I know it's quite sad, but my van is always this tidy and the cab is immaculate too.

Seen some great ideas for my van, especially for silicone.
Heres some pics of mine, Ive now got a bigger van (Transit Connect) and love it. As I live in Tottenham I try not to keep any cutters or other main tools in my van, and as i dont have a shed or garage its kept in a corner in my flat!
Someone left some wooden shelves in the communal bins which i 've recycled and used in the van!

Mine also has the high roof which gives tons of room. Its only a few years old and I was lucky to get it as they sell very quickly.
