I'm not against that idea and should a nice van appear with that option, I shall seriously consider it, but having a bulkhead really has been a difference maker between my old van and my current one.

In which direction? Bulkhead is absolutely vital, in my humble opinion. You can get a crewcab with a bulkhead, I'd have thought.

My current van didn't have a bulkhead when I bought it, but I knew somewhere I could nab one from in short order.. my old one which was still sat on my drive
For my next one I'm thinking along the lines of an NV200 or similar. I've had my fill of French diesels going bad. Mind, my last lingo hadn't long clocked up 207k miles when its fuel injection system gave up the ghost.

Not with the amount of kit I use. I agree that a bulkhead is vital but I would consider a bulkhead-less one if it was an exceptional van.

Just a thought, isn't it interesting how Benny is becoming a Toby clone?
That is horrid. I'll pass, thanks.

Not sure what kit you guys are going out with, but I have a very small van, and it's great. It's as small as a car in terms of depth and width, so easy to get around.

I love the Tetris - it means everything fits snug and doesn't roll around. And stacking up makes sense - otherwise it's wasted space.
I've surprised myself how much I can get in the van - usually carry 2 complete sound systems, for when I'm doing all day work.
The biggest benefit is the size limitation restricts me from buying too much gear - has worked well for my wallet!!
