If you have a bulkhead then  up against that but then it's a long reach to pull them to the back - have you got a side door?

Or put a pallet in upside down and sit them in that with a few bits of wood bracing at appropriate places.

Maybe get a rachet strap and strap them all together and then to hooks ion the van if you have any :)

Very difficult to secure.  Best to try to beef up your bulkhead so there's something to stop them flying forward, not really satisfactory but get tank fitted asap.

if you empty all the water out before puttung them in the van you will find them a lot easier to handle and less weight in the van . commom sense really  ;) ;)

you could velcro them to the roof to ensure you save floor space.
