I've bought a swb transit van for the lads to use,
What's the best size van vault for it
Best extra door locks
Anyone fitted reversing sensor/camera for parking on tight roads with lots of cars
Anyone running an inverter for charging batteries while on the go if so what make etc.
also best roof rack?
Any other tips etc

rhino roof rack giles
all the rest sounds well posh
I had 4 transits and they are magnets
I would rather the tools were out of it at night
we have a bigger version of this and it has proved secure in 7 years

just fitted a rear view camera to the cabstar. it was easy to do with the right connectors. I was lucky as i had a switch al wired up live that did not do anything, so i tapped into it for the screen, and went off the reverse wire fr the camera. cost me about £44 off ebay i recall

Armaplate in Horwich for door locks
Armaplate Sentinel
got a rear view camera fitted, much better than reversing sensors
make them pay for any breakages, it will make them think twice to break anything a second time

Roads outside terraced houses in Sheffield are busy, I often have to park my navara up with only 6 inches to spare reversing cameras are a god send abd it's got a big towbar on the back makes hitching up so much easier and less likely the lads will put the towbar through someone's bumper. Lad who'll be driving it is 42 and been driving since he was 17 without a bump or a single ticket so he's a good guy, fingers crossed
