Discuss What Van do you guys and gals have? in the Plumbing Tools area at PlumbersForums.net

Got a 2yr old 10k mile peugeot partner last week.
I can get away with a tiddler of a van as I'm never far from a merchant. Spent 11k on van and nearly 10% again on security 😭 😭. Oh well, better spent now than once it's happened. Fudgers!
 
Sorry to hear that, it's tough to find anything and prices are very strong.

Definitely. Every spare minute I seem to spend looking.
Just found an expert, bit smaller than I want, low miles but its 11 years old and they are looking for 4200.
 
I gave up looking for a secondhand van and ordered a new boxer, inc vat can get l2h2 for under 20k from dealer with good rate on finance.
Just had delivery put back to October so I guess that helps explain why used prices are so high.
Keep seeing 2 year old vans with close to 20k miles up for same price so I'm going to wait for the new one.
I've always had a lwb Vivaro which is ideal for work but decided to get something I can stand in that's better for putting the bikes in at the weekend.

For racking I have 1/2 side of hinged buckets for little parts and the rest is ply racking to take euro crate type boxes, I put rope handles on the front to make them draws and on larger jobs they pull out and stack on sack barrow.
Toolboxes are festool systainers
(I like stuff that stacks!)

Watch the emissions Simon. If its diesel 11 years old puts it back in Euro 4 territory. They have a downer on older diesels now. Everybody and his armpit is looking to roll out city taxes.
 
So the next step is to get a roof rack. I have seen some around where the height off the roof makes it possible to attach a pipe rack under it so you still have the full space on the top for full sheet materials plus a ladder. Also, maybe even attach it to the sides so it is about the same width as.the wing mirrors. Any idea which racks these are as now I cannot seem to find em.
