Order in the van

Question

Hello everybody. We have a very old van and I would like to rebuild it so that you can travel with it. In the hold I would like to install shelves to better store accessories and luggage. I thought of such shelf: https://www.sortimo.com/vehicle-device/van-racking-solutions/sortimo-globelyst/ Does anyone have experience with it? It is actually for craftsmen, but I could well imagine that it is also suitable for camping. Thanks for your tips. :D

I'm sure it is great but also expensive.  Since you have "a very old van" I would think you might want options that were less expensive.

You can find used craftsman van shelving, usually about a hundred bucks total for a set. Place a wanted ad on the u-build section of Sportsmobile or Expedition Portal forum, and check local craigslist.

The one in the picture has way too many small compartments IMO.  It loses space to all the dividers.

Marius,

While the idea is good, the cost is not economic.

You need to get:
Shelves - Big box of choice
Bins - possibly with covers - Walmart, Menards......
Bungy straps - so bins don't slide on the first turn - Hazard Fright

Good Luck

Matt

Have you looked at the prices on this stuff? Three or four of these small shelf units could be worth more than your very old van.
