Title: Where do you put your poles ?
Post by: wpclean on May 13, 2012, 09:10:43 pm
Just got a van, and wondered where to put the poles, is it better to have brackets from the roof, or put them on to the side of the van . . . . .which is the better option ?

Here is my current and below is my previous.

Current has the racking on the side so i just bolted 1.2m of drain pipe onto the racking

This one i made a frame and bolted the same pipe to the frame. Also had steps up there too but made it hard to get in whilst pee'ing in a milk bottle ;D

The one with my security guard in the back is a pegeout boxer - its too big though for a 1man user... would be a cracker for a 2 man set up though as it has 1.1ton payload

Going back to an expert as thats just the right size in my opinion
