It's not a pretty setup but with the use of various bungies allows for carrying 2 mowers and all hand tools.
Next step for me is a Connect LWB high roof van.
Like I said not very pretty, but does the job for me.
Everything can be easily removed so that there is space for waste if needed.
whats the xr 44 item ?? i cants see ? is it a hover mower?
thanks rob
Very nice van, drives well, feels well built, but i'm just a bit dubious about the size, the internal floor space is right on the max length of my mower and strimmer.
Nick, you make the back of your van look like a tardis !
The XR44 is a small hover mower, I bought it for the lawns I have to cut where a mower needs to be carried through the house. It is light enough for 1 man to easily carry, only thing is it doesn't do a very good job. It has plastic flexi blades much like a strimmer and makes hard work of long grass, can't cut very close and you have to rake up the cuttings.
Just graduating to a SWB medium top tranny tomorrow and looking to deck it out like yours :)
Can I ask what you are using to hold your tools tight to the shelving? It looks like velcro straps to me but not sure......many thanks again Paul.

Now I've gone down the road of "only taking what is necessary for the job" several times, but I ALWAYS find that whatever it is I left at home...........I need it!!
You know what it's like, "oh its just a lawn job, I'll leave the hedge trimmer at home" - then you get there and the customer asks you to cut the hedge..........
or "it's just a hedge job, I won't need the mower" - then you realise that your hedge trimmings are all over the lawn and you could have sucked them up using the mower!
.........so when I get my big tranny, I plan on taking everything I own, every time I go out.

This is how I have my van set up. Ladders, if needed, sit across the wooden cross plank, leaving me still free to use the mowers and other bits of kit.
I also now have a 5l sprayer sitting underneath the 16l one.

If I need to carry waste it goes in bulk bags in a 6ft trailer.
