ionics and pure freedom sell a pole rack that can be fitted to the inside wall of your van they hold round 3 or 4 poles, there bit pricey but strong and keep poles out the way.

to be honest, thats got to be the best / most cost effective way

lidl's have a ski bag currently on special, they are 7 quid, ideal for poles that are hardly used

I use guttering on the inside wall of the van as I found it easier to install and quicker and easier to get the poles in and out nevermind what diameter of base section you have. I will(at a later date) fit a couple of 4" pipes to the underside of the roof for polesas I will be fitting a few more hooks, shelves, etc to the sides but will miss the guttering........

Yep me too. I have a Dispatch so I fastened a piece of wood across the back hung 4" soil pipe clips from that and then fastened the pipe to those and they rest on the overhead parcel shelf at the front. I stuck a bit of that anti slip matting in the end to stop the poles sliding about.

Just use guttering like me..... I fit my presure lance in mine and that has a large trigger handle.
Doesn't matter about size, triggers etc....... Cut the guttering to the length of the pole from the trigger to the end of the pole and your sorted...
