Can we see some more pictures of that veto bag? Looks super well thought out.

Something wrong with that van. Seems the steering wheel is on the wrong side.

My truck looks like that in the morning but after the first big corner or highway brake checker, it looks completely different.

 

[Steve_P]

Nice. Looks extremely well organized!

How long does your van last before you feel the need for a new one?

Scheduled time or when it starts giving you lots of problems?

 

[KSJeff]

That seems nicely sorted. I'm not sure we could even get a 6 speed manual van over here. I like it.

I don't know how you guys can work out of those little vans.

In our organization

Ford vans come with manual transmission

VW vans come with Automatic

Where I live (rural) manual works better for towing

I don't know how you guys can work out of those little vans.

They work much better for us due to the size of UK and Irish roads and car parks, my last van had a longer wheelbase and it was a bit of a PITA.

We ordered some AWD Transits about ten years ago but they only came with a high roof, so they had to go to the body shop to have them chopped off and have low roofs installed

I worked out of cube vans with 13' boxes for too many years,working out of a truck with utility box is driving me nuts.
I'm ready to throw some band aids on my cube van and start driving it again! Hahaha

 

[richfinn]

Nice. Looks extremely well organized!

Thanks

It's been a tough couple of months!!

 

[BombShelter]

I'm the same, with a van I tend to throw tools in at the end of a hard day, with a cube truck, everything gets put back nicely. Of course driving a truck stinks compared with a cushy van with a stereo and AC.

Very cool. What is it, a Metris or something we don't have in the US?

 

[Zewnten]

Do you take the car dolly everywhere with you? Where do you store it on the van?

Ford Transit Custom 340 with a 2.0 litre Diesel/stick shift

It folds into the back of the van using a winch and locks in place when deployed with big steel pins.

Rapid Deployment Trailer, I also carry a Collins speed Dolly so I can lift all four wheels like a flatbed (depending on overall weight of the casualty vehicle).

This is the RDT trailer in it's stowed position, the Red HALO projected onto the road is a new safety thing to warn people to keep out of the deployment area.

Ok I think I've seen it stored in your van in other pictures? Fancy bit of kit haha but makes sense
