Join me as I give a thorough van tour and walk-through of my new 2018 Ford Transit 250, which will be used primarily for HVAC service work. I detail the ways I optimized space, organize and customize the vehicle to work for me and suit my needs.

Just started doing industrial hvac work. Not a big fan of it. We do mostly industrial metal forging places. it's hot noisy and very dirty. Can never get my tools clean. After one service call I look like I just spent a day in a coal mine.

I had about 8 different service trucks over my career. I always liked vans vs. service body trucks. You have to be very disciplined to keep them organized when you’re busy. Always return everything, especially tools to their proper place. And try to unload all of the junk parts from jobs daily. Otherwise it turns into a mess very quickly.

You just convinced me into getting that floor drawer. I was hoping you’d show how you stored your refrigerant tanks. Your van is a reflection of you. It shows us that you are a professional, prepared, knowledgeable and organized. This will save you time, impress your customers/boss, as well as earn their trust. The little effort to stay organized will pay off in a big way at the end of the day. You’ve done a great job with your van! Plus, the video was great as well!

Beautiful setup man! I myself just converted from my Milwaukee M12 fuel to the M18 fuel as i'm an install guy now where as before i did everything so i ended up opting for the M18 stuff as it's much better for new construction cut ins and heavier duty stuff. Really love them so far! Love the setup though! I always love to see techs who take great pride in their vans and keeping things neat. That goes a long way. I see too many guys just throwing stuff on shelves randomly. I give ya huge props! Love the creativity too! Utilizing PVC fittings and custom making your own floor boards. Very well done! Be safe out there!

That's a monster load of tools. I do residential AC service as a hobby, mostly for friends, family, friends of friends, etc. and aside from my torch, pump and recovery tanks, its RARE that I'll need much more than a tool bag and a set of gauges to repair over 90% of every job I've done.

My insurance also drop and this is a great reliable service van. So far it takes me everywhere. I love my sienna now

Great organization. Just a friendly FYI, the Transit 250 had a massive recall campaign to replace the flexible driveshaft coupling. Our University of Iowa fleet had 12 of these that had to go in to the dealership for preventative replacement. Ask your dealer if your new model is effected or may be effected. I'd hate to see you have downtime for something that can be prevented.

Dude! I've been on my tools for 30 yrs and have worked out of some decently set up vans but I have NEVER seen a van set up as good as this. I hope that thing is making you or your company some money because that thing is a rolling supply house. Like someone else asked, I'd like to hear your response to how often you clean and reorganize. When I was on the road doing commercial stuff, I tried to clean and reorganize my van every Friday or Saturday. By the following Wed, it looked like the van had been rolled a few times. Awesome video and that is a sweet ride. Stay safe!

I did service on manufactured homes(mobile Homes for 25 years and I always kept more than one of everything and I cannot stand a dirty or cluttered truck. I had a box van but carried drywall panels and just about anything needed to repair or replace parts that normally broke. I always knew where every tool or part was at hen I was done it went right back in its place. I always joked if I don't have it you don't need it. Great set up and clean looking truck. Another thing people pay attention to your truck and usually will want you back if your truck looks organized.

I have the transit 150 version of your van. I have the double set of drawers but I don't have the stand up cabinet as I am not an HVAC tech. I removed the rack with the parts bins as I don't really have a need for that so I put a mini fridge and plugged it into my inverter. I do a lot of in town and a lot of out town calls so its nice to have better food with me that won't spoil. I was guilty of too many fast food outlets. I really appreciate the tour, interesting to see the same van with different tools and parts.
