Been pondering racking for a while, but my Nissan NV200 has 2 side doors and I love the access element of it as parking can be an issue! That said, your van is a lot tydier than mine, as all my tools are on the floor and I always take more than I need. Just in case!!

I used the same EGO mower as you have, I also purchased the roller accessory, the cut was excellent but the roller being fixed to the rear was a real pain when turning so much so I removed it. I traded it in for a Hayter 48 Harrier battery mower which was much more usable, my lawns are not large so there are many turns to be made. I am fully into the benefits of battery powered tools, my main tool in other usage being a Stihl long reach hedge trimmer, I just wish Stihl would standardize on one battery type, I nearly purchased a battery powered scarifier but realising it used a different battery with the requirement for yet another different charger to clutter up the workbench i reverted to an antique Alko scarifier which works ok but must be the worst balanced machine i have used, with the collecting bag fitted the machine falls backward if i stop.

Ive been self employed gardener for 31 years now,i would quit gardening rather than use battery tools,engines are the only way to work ,always have and always will.

[@MrGardener18]

Thankfully not everyone thinks like you. Thing are changing for the better and we can finally dispenses with horrible loud smoky and polluting petrol tools.

[@ArnoDJ]

That's one of the most ridiculous things I have read in a while, especially gardeners are able to go for battery tools. I worked at a landscaping company that mowed highways and other huge project for the government. They needed battery tools, trucks and vans otherwise they wouldn't get the project. But I am happy that the next generation sees that battery powered tools are the way to go.

Watched a few of these van set ups and no one seems to talk about how they deal with grass clippings?

[@ArnoDJ]

@@rodpatterson3751 greygardener does, he has his car setup in such a way he can get smallbags in for his waste. In the Netherlands everyone drives around with a trailer and dispose their green waste at a recycler.

[@NE-locksmith]

That false floor may need an upgrade the fact it drops at the side isn’t good. Also could you not just lift the mower in and out?

[@MrGardener18]

It dose the job saves a lot of effort. I can't speak for you but picking up a 30kg mower 10 times a day doesn't seen the best idea.

[@karlitobergkamp8082]

How many batteries do you use for the mower on a normal day?

[@MrGardener18]

I have three battery for the mower 7.5 ,5 and 2.5. usually on a busy mowing day I will uses all of them if I haven't been able to recharge one. I will have to get another if add anymore mowing job to be on the safe side.

[@karlitobergkamp8082]

@@MrGardener18 nice! I’ve still not made my mind up on if I want to go battery for a mower in the future or not 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@MrGardener18]

@@karlitobergkamp8082 I'd don't regret switching but mowing is only a reality small part of my business.

[@karlitobergkamp8082]

@@MrGardener18 that’s very true.
