Here I discuss and show how my van is set up for 2023.

[@dagtailgroundmaintenance]

It's good to see you doing well. Seat covers are always what I get done first.

[@scottellwoodgardening287]

Thanks mate may need some covers before it’s too late.

[@maxngm8590]

Hi with all the fixtures and fittings are the screws drilled into just the plywood or through the ply wood into the side of the van

[@scottellwoodgardening287]

Just into the plywood. You just have to be careful with weight. If I leave batteries in the long hedge cutters the screws pull out.

[@cleanclippingslawnservice7128]

Awesome

[@cosworthization]

Gorgeous van. I love your racking and van set up. BRILLIANT!!!

[@scottellwoodgardening287]

Thanks mate I’m pleased with it.

[@thesussexsherpa1052]

Hi Scott, great video! Love the set up. What width of hooks are they for your hedge cutters? 150mm? 200mm?

[@scottellwoodgardening287]

Hi mate, thanks and those hooks are 200mm

[@thesussexsherpa1052]

@@scottellwoodgardening287 Thanks Scott 👍🏼

[@cjslawncare]

when I pass my driving test this year it's going to be hard trying to find a van for me, as I'll only be able to drive an automatic and most vans are manual. the van I have my eye on is the berlingo multispace, which is the passenger version of the berlingo van, so you can remove the rear seats and have a flat loading bay. I think for what I'll need it for it should be perfect for a first car/van

[@scottellwoodgardening287]

The first vehicle is always the hardest. Finding the right van insurance etc. good luck with it.

[@Grassrootspodcast]

Love a new van. That spade and shovel holder looks a good idea.

[@scottellwoodgardening287]

They are from screwfix. Early days they seem ok but interested to see if they last long term being plastic.

[@thesmithsfamily1901]

Missed this vid Scott. Lovely van and set up. What thickness of ply is it lined with? Also, what's the ball park figure for a new tow bar fitted? Cheers.

[@scottellwoodgardening287]

The ply is 10mm and I don’t have a tow bar yet but they are around £250 including electrics.

[@thesmithsfamily1901]

@@scottellwoodgardening287 Thanks Scott. I appreciate the reply. Good luck with the season…. This rain has to stop at some point.

[@scottellwoodgardening287]

@@thesmithsfamily1901 good luck to you too.

[@shaunrussell9633]

Spade hooks great idea I just got a van already got a kit in the back ,was plumber van add in more hooks ,make sure stuff secure main goal

[@TheLawnGuy]

What can I say, Only the best quality stickers are used at Lawn Guy towers! I've not used my new mowers either, for the same reason. What's the plan for your old mowers?

[@scottellwoodgardening287]

😂 I’m keeping the old ones as skates I think although new gear rarely goes wrong to be fair so I should probably cash them in.

[@Menditman2014]

Hi Scott nice set up I’ve never been that organised, rough and ready for me I could deal with having a new van I’d worry about to much. I hate dealing with roof racks so a van that can fit the longer ladders in is great. Good video 🙂👍

[@scottellwoodgardening287]

Thanks mate it won’t stay tidy for long 🙈

[@LawnRight]

Hope u have a good year scott. All the best. Cant beat a new van

[@scottellwoodgardening287]

And to you mate thanks.

[@josephcollins3447]

What set up? Click bait.

[@johnb8956]

Did you even watch the video?

[@LewisgardenservicesLtd]

Nice one👍 had my relay l3h2 from new for 4 and half years now with very little issues 👌

[@scottellwoodgardening287]

They seem like a good van mate.

[@andrewthomas2406]

I,m about to buy the same size van as yours,and plan on sectioning the front corner off and putting a camping toilet in ,theres nowt worse than wanting a pee while on a garden job.

[@scottellwoodgardening287]

Yes it’s not the best trade for that 😂

[@Jordan.E]

Nice tidy van, I bought the L2 Boxer lat year but I need to sort out the racking on it. Do you have a link for those clamps that were sliding on the rail?

[@scottellwoodgardening287]

Hi mate they were from screwfix, smith and Locke tool hangers. Early days to see wether they last as they are plastic.

[@acornbuildinglandscapes1765]

Just done the same to my van last week, instead of just a timber on the floor I made a box so the rover goes in and I can get my knapsack on top of it without risk of something snapping the lance Fingers crossed for a good year again

[@scottellwoodgardening287]

Tidy van will make it so much easier than the cramped mess last year mate. And yes hoping for a good year for us all.

[@martindalelawnlandscaping6660]

Good van I used to put my ferris 36 stander through the side door very handy. I also got a bigger van to cut down on trailer use for ride ons

[@scottellwoodgardening287]

It makes it so much easier as some of my sites are really tight. I think my 36 would go through the side door too.

[@tgsgardenmaintenance4627]

You could probably get my little NV200 in the back of your new van!😂

[@scottellwoodgardening287]

😂It’s a decent size for sure.

[@DaEternalNoob]

Nice van. Congratulations. I wish we had manual transmission vans in the USA.

[@scottellwoodgardening287]

Thanks. 90% of uk vans are manual.

[@carlwaylett7013]

Hi where did you get the clips for the shovel and folk? Lovely looking van 👍

[@scottellwoodgardening287]

Thanks Carl, screwfix, smith and Locke tool hangers.

[@yorkshirehumbergroundsmain9536]

Nice van mate Looks ideal. Wish I went bigger when I got my transit

[@scottellwoodgardening287]

Always next time mate but it is a big benefit.

[@noelcahill6707]

[@scottellwoodgardening287]

Hi Noel. All these size vans look very similar and are probably made at the same place I think.

[@noelcahill6707]
