OK here I go… I finally got a van 07’ Chevy express 2500 extended panel. I have used trucks for going on 12 yrs. and finally see the advantage to having my guys work out of a van.
I am looking for some help… can you hard core van guys send some picks to give me some ideas? I have a rough idea of where to put a tank and pumps but need some other suggestions. Like… how to you store squeegees and poles, rags, extra rubber etc.
When I have mine all ready to go I’ll put up a pic!
Good for you. I work out of a truck and have been seriously looking at vans too. I still owe too much on the truck to trade in I think. For the cost of my truck I could probably get 2 decent used cargo vans. Looking forward to seeing what you do to it.
Here is mine while I was still working on it. 100 gallon tank, two hose reels, pump on the left side, battery up top(now in a box), Sim440 on the top right. Works awesome. I have 1 storage system next to the side doors for all the window cleaning goodies.
I will get a few snaps of our E250 tomorrow and post them up. We did a lot of customizing. Mounted tool boxes and shelving, Pvc tubing for poles and wfp, di tanks with hose reel mounted in back.
I would think about putting in a pull out drawer in the rear. They are great for keeping stuff organized and out of sight. We put a 48 " wide one in our new van and a 24 " wide in our older van out the side door… The ones from Adrian Steel are the best. Very heavy duty.

I honestly think that most business owners buy more vehicle than they really need. For some it makes sense to plan for future growth, but I really believe most would benefit from some rethinking. I’ll be uploading a video soon to show exactly what I mean.
2009 E-250 wanted something smaller but this was too good to pass on
I was using a 97 F-150 W/ full ladder rack. I have so much room

Go big or go home baby! The first picture was NOT intended to show the inside of my rig. I thought that it looked like my boy J. was dropping a deuce but he was just taking lunch on a custom jump seat that I built. I can carry two passengers with me albeit, not legally.
