Hi guys,
I’ve been working as a self-employed craftsman for some time now and I´ve finally afforded a new van after my old one nearly fell apart 😀 . I am currently equipping my new van and I’m looking for some good racking systems? Can anyone of you recommend me good ones in which I can store my tools and everything in my van? Does anyone have some experiences or reccomendations? Thanks for your tips! Tobi 🙂

I can't help with commercially-made racking systems but if you want to be inspired to make your own, there is a series of videos on YouTube by Jay Bates in which he outfits a contractor's trailer with custom made racks and drawers.
While Jay cuts the material in these videos with a CNC, you could just as well use conventional tools.

Thank you for the video Mike! It looks really good there, but I think if I would do it, it wouldn´t last long. So I´m prefering a professional one ;-)
When I sold my last motor home I was left with a uninstalled set of slides that were 4 ft deep.However you could put a 6 ft shelf on them when they are bolted down.Something like that as the base of your van would allow you to get at everything on that level unless,of course,over time you dump everything on it.A place for everything and everything in its place
Hey to both of you,
long time not active over here, but I wanted to let you know, that I have decided on a Solution from Sortimo: https://www.mysortimo.co.uk/en_UK/products/van-racking
So far everything working fine and I am quite pleased with the result.
Thank you again for your tips.
