What annoys you about your setup in your van....
« on: February 24, 2014, 07:29:31 pm »
Doing another van setup and just wondered if anything annoys you now about yours?

On mine it is.

Van is too small for pole holders on the roof.

Tank is too small.

Only a small ish battery.

Thats about it really, just wondered what gripes you about your system as trying to build the perfect system if thats possible

Not being big headed, but I've got my system just about right.

Pole holders overhead in just the right positions, heater and flow controller on van wall just inside door, step ladders on opposite wall. Trad gear sits nicely on top of tank, just inside side door along with scrims etc...

Wouldn't mind an internal rack for a small triple but not essential.

Another sliding door would be nice and more cubby holes. I'd also prefer my gas bottle nearer the back door and my vac but it aint going to happen.

ps. the tow bar is a natural pole hose snagger.

everything about my set up works smoothly with only the odd little niggle here and there.

not enough room.its a bit of a squeeze to fit poles in properly,trad gear,gas bottle etc

tank slightly too small some days(350L).

this will be rectified with a new bigger van and bigger tank over the coming months
price higher/work harder!

Yes will be keeping our Vivaro for the foreseeable future. It's done 128k now so we are going to get a smaller (berlingo size) van to do the miles and use them both on the days where we split up.
