Van Prices 2024

[Stroppymonkey]

Nice job rekon over time you'll not regret it. I'd love to redo mine but having everything organised makes for a much easier work van

Its what we do with all of them give or take. Do it do a better spec on a new one compared to a 6 year old van.. some of our guys will do 1200 jobs a year out of their vans, so getting it set up right is vital.

Yeah, folks will spend 10k on a kitchen at home but not on van racking. They wouldn't dream of just working off the kitchen floor..

Some people could have all the nicest nearest custom made racking in the world and still dump it in a mess on the floor.

Well it finally went out on the road this week. Been taking our time getting it ready around other jobs. Had to buy a spare wheel/spare kit/wheeling hanging kit which annoyed me and cost a few££
Deadlocks/Tow bar/interior lights/reverse camera/dash camera/dash USB points/cab mats/seat covers/first aid kits/2x fire extinguishers/ply floor/chequer plate floor/poly lining kit/flettner air vent/full bespoke racking and accessories and singwriting. Not added it up yet but likely about 15% on-top of the purchase price. Will add it all up when I’m feeling ready for the pain. Probably near £27K sat there so far, plus another £15k of stock and tools inside. Bloody dear old business this plumbing and heating lark.

How long does it stay that tidy and organised?

How long does it stay that tidy and organised?

It will never look as new, but we do annual stock takes so vans get fully emptied every year or so. Some of the lads are better than others, we have a 10 plate that’s still pretty tidy / similar inside. Some lads are fussy and tidy, some are less so. All humans.
I’m vanless at the moment and working out of the pickup which does my head in .
