Here I give you a tour of my Toyota proace, showing you how I set up all my tools in the van to be as efficient as possible. #garden #vanlife #buisness #gardener
Enjoyed your van tour. It looks like a well organized setup. I'm in lawn care as well and have a Chevy 2500 Express van and would not want you to see how unorganized it is but I hope to fix that before March 2024 growing season. Now go buy yourself a new rake my friend because that one hanging up has seen better days lol. Mike from Alabama
Great video! This has given me some good starting points to organising my van. Also don't forget, waste removal can be charged for and is a fantastic way to create more revenue for the same effort. Will stay tuned for more vids! Thanks again
Thanks mate, and waste can definitely be profitable, I charge per tonne bag when I do remove waste. The charge will cover waste disposal, fuel and money for my time. I just find most of the gardens I’m in don’t need waste removed, which is why I’ve gone with a slightly smaller van 🙂 I think if waste removal was a bigger part of what I did, I’d of gone for a slightly bigger van, or add a trailer to this one 🙂
Hi I loved your van tour straight clean set up. Question what security have you got on the van to protect it from van theft which is a massive issue in the uk
Thanks mate! I’m going to add a second one on the roof this year.. really handy way to get tools off the floor and out the way.. yet still easy to access 🙂
So great to see a craftsmans van tour. unfortunately you seem to have chosen a lot of the wrong brand ; ) for your battery trimming needs. great video chap.
Thanks mate! 😂😂 Don’t worry, I’ve added a bit of makita blue recently.. which is the brand you must be referring too 🤔 surely wouldn’t be that lighter coloured orange 😉
Very good 👍. How one's van is set up or organised is an exteralisation of one's mindset. Order always saves time. Commendable. Jim from J.S.G.S N.IRELAND.
Sinilar layout i have vivaro LWB. Rack on left , long power tools on right and mowers/machinery etc access through side door . Noce to see such efficiency utilising space
Excellent van setup my friend! I have a Citroën nemo and I would love a setup like this!! Unfortunately I live in SW France and its hot down so the van doubles up as a carrier for our 2 labradoodles as we put them in the back when they are soggy lol! I am looking for some kind of lightweight frame so I can remove it easily when needed! Go in peace my friend and again, very informative video..... Dave de Montesquiou :)
A really well thought out setup, Intresting to see another husquvarna battery equipment user. I really rate the husquvarna kit and find it holds up and performs well. I recommend the husquvarna battery blower, so mutch easier than a fuel one and no noise for clients working from home. I think I spotted some tobisho curved shears in your bag, absolutely sublime to use, and so light and sharp.
pretty simlar to the dispatch, I prefer the double storage instead of the pass through on the passenger seat. Looks like you have loads of room for more tools and well organised
Damn, my van is a mess! It is a bit smaller, being an NV200, but i can get everything I need in the back of it. Sod's law is that whatever I need though, is always underneath everything else!😂
Morning mate, how have you got on with the Toyota? I do prefer the Japanese vehicles but I’m aware they are more expensive to repair. I’m planning to get a LWB van this year either Toyota like yourself or Transit Custom…
Hey mate! Got on really well so far, but only had it a year, and was brought with only 13,000 miles on the clock and in very good condition, so also early days at the moment 🙂 but lovely to drive and very good on fuel 👌
Two years in and no restrictions so far. Ample of space for the machinery I use and waste (if required) too 🙂 all depends on what you do, if I did lawns and lawn care then this would be too small for me 🙂
Having started a new business I needed some inspiration on how to organise my van and this is a massive help, really appreciated
Great to hear! Thank you 😊

Thank you! I purchased a new rake not long after this video was recorded 😅 it was well and truly needed!

The jacket is amazing brother. 10/10
Thanks mate!
Nice video Will. Having an organised van is a very satisfying thing. Looks like its set up perfect for what you do 👍
Thanks Ben! Really enjoyed your podcast with Sam by the way! Really enjoyable listen 👌
Genius idea with the gutter pipe, I might have to use that one 👀 Great set up!

Thanks Jim! I find it saves me so much time having it organised, and also the tools don’t get damaged in transit 🙂

Great video and van set up. Very efficient layout. I will take some ideas. Cheers 👍
Thank you 🙏🙂
Great to see how the Toyota can be set up. Think ill take a look at one when my transit goes back this year 👍
It’s been a great van for me so far this year! I went from transit to this 🙂

Thank you! The husqvarna kit is great! I’ve picked up some makita kit also now, which I also really like 🙂
Lovely set up Will, tidy and efficient 👌
Thanks mate! Worth the wait I hope 😜
Great video mate. Some really useful ideas here.
Thanks mate! 🙂
Lovely set up that and an enjoyable watch. 9/10 from me. Minus 1 point for the hot chocolate instead of a coffee 😉
😂😂😂 Always hot chocolate for me I’m afraid mate! 😅
great setup will, my dad has the vivaro griffin which is more or less the same van and I must say they drive great ! love the organisation 👌🏼
Thanks mate! They definitely drive nicely, I travel further afield for work now, so how they drive is important to me 🙂
Lovely little set up Will!
Thanks Mike! I think running it just for hedges and topiary it’s been perfect for me, and so good on fuel 🙂 to small for a Z6 though! 😅
Great video, is a short wheel base or medium?
Thank you, it’s the medium wheel base 🙂
Great setup Will👍🏼
Thanks Martyn 🙂👊
Nice easy setup Will. I love niwaki tools and visit the London store every visit south😊
Thanks mate.. There such good quality the Niwaki tools, I’m yet to visit the London store, I think it would be dangerous for my wallet if I did 😅
@@ExcelsisGardens kid in a sweet shop springs to mind. Oh and buying things you don’t need 🙈
Very nice layout
Thank you 🙂🙏
@@ExcelsisGardens You’re welcome buddy. I’m starting up full time this year, just booking work in, can’t wait
@@SlySH123 that’s awesome mate! There’s plenty of videos and podcasts about, they’ve helped me massively along my journey 🙂 it’s a beautiful career 👌
@@ExcelsisGardens Thanks mate, cool, it really is :) I cannot wait to start full time man, I’m gonna love it
pretty simlar to the dispatch, I prefer the double storage instead of the pass through on the passenger seat. Looks like you have loads of room for more tools and well organised
Thanks mate! And very similar size to the dispatch 🙂 will be adding a few extra bits this year 🔋👌
Damn, my van is a mess! It is a bit smaller, being an NV200, but i can get everything I need in the back of it. Sod's law is that whatever I need though, is always underneath everything else!😂
😂😂😂
Maybe i should do one of these tours 😁
I’d be super keen to see it if you did mate! You learn and get so many ideas when seeing different peoples set ups 🙂

What sort of clips are they you use for your gloves , good idea that , cheers
I think there called spring grip clips, you can find them in B&Q 🙂
@@ExcelsisGardens top man ! Clips acquired haha cheers
do you have extra locks on vans with all your tools in there ? i am guessing you oark outside at night ?
I’ve added some extra alarms, should wake me and all the neighbours up straight away 😅 I’ll be looking at extra locks too 🙂
Tidy
Thanks 🙂🙏
small van like that will only restrict you. mwb and trailer is the ultimate set up. not this
Two years in and no restrictions so far. Ample of space for the machinery I use and waste (if required) too 🙂 all depends on what you do, if I did lawns and lawn care then this would be too small for me 🙂
I feel shame 😀 please tell me it’s not always this organised
😂😂😂 I do try keep it this organised, but it can be a loosing battle during the busy season 😅
