Not going to post in the open area as don't want to advertise what's in the back of my wagon so here is my fittings storage.

Right hand side starting at the bottom with the small boxes is self tappers. O rings, washers and ballvalve spares, olives and misc gas fittings. Onto the Stanley Fatmax boxes, Tectite fittings, 22 solder, 15 solder, screws, plugs and other fixings and on top pipe clips.

Left hand side Black iron, 15mm Uponor, 22mm Uponor, Valves, 15 compression, 22 compression, fuses and other electrical bits and bobs and staimless steel screws on top.

In the two plastic 4 drawer units at the back are 28 copper fittings, 1 1/2 plastic. 1 1/4 plastic, overflow, traps, polypipe, copper fiitting overspill and clip overspill.

In the Cupboard are heating spares, ballvalves, syphons, cable and changeover valves

The grey box under the yellow trug contains salvaged boiler valves and odd bits. The plastic case contains pigtails and other lpg stuff.

Behind the left hand rack is my wet vac, spades, shovel and drain rods. In the red bag is my PPE.

Dust sheets are folded to the right. My henry sits where the jerry can is at the moment.

The jerry can and cones don't normally live in the back. The jerry can is in there because some nice person syphoned my diesel last week and the cones are there because I had to park on a narrow country lane and used them to stop the numpties running into the back of me.
 
What is it a bobtail with a box on?

Also look after your regin hose

Looks really good mike.

My old van never had any racking and I just threw everything into tool boxes and sorted them out in the back.

Now I have a caddy with the back all racked out and I love it. I know where everything is and I find I can work much faster knowing where things are when I go back to the van.

Everything like fittings ing sand screws etc are all in those blue BG tool boxes, fortunately I have 6 of them and I can store everything easily :)

your van looks amazing though mike :)
 
Mike is the side door a separate compartment to the back. Hard to tell. Suppose you need somewhere to keep powertools if it is

Power tools? POWER TOOLS? This is a local gas engineer for local people. We will have no talk of power tools.
 
How does he core for a new boiler.....get Bertie to chew through the wall?

Yes. It's got a dead lock on as well so reasonably secure. Most of my tools live in the front section. Having them in a separate section means that if I clear a job or pick a load of gear up I can still get to my tools to do a call out or small job on the way home.
 
I have just joined them so hoping it goes well,

i never expected your work horse to be a landy, does customers comment on it when it turns up, wee bit off roading between jobs lol
 
People remember me. Michael Jackson plastered across the side it is difficult to miss.

Understatement of the year.

We can always tell when Mike pulls up outside our Hastings branch, because the ground shakes, and the sun is blotted out by his monster set of wheels.
