Find me a van then...

[weeksy]

You can get 2 x Z1000J based track bikes, two lots of riding gear, a big gazebo, two tents, all the camping stuff required for a weekend at Cadwell and a generator in a swb Transit like that with no problems.

Obviously if you're at Cadwell you have to take a generator just so you can have it running all night

It'll only be 1 trackbike as you'd imagine now, the ZX6R. Pembrey i think may be a squeeze in terms of matresses and tents etc... BBQ and whatever, but it's only once a year anyway so we'd come up with a plan either way.

I've left it with my mate to try and source a LWB version for the right money at the moment, but will sure be interesting to try the SWB for the weekend.

We had to pack carefully to get that lot in, and the bikes took up a lot of the room (they're awkward shapes) but everything went in, the extra space of a lwb would have been nice, but more headroom would have been more use.

I know you have your heart set on a van, but you did say any and all ideas...

Years ago I had a half decent box trailer and a Rover 220D, which I used every weekend for motocrossing, and that sort of set up has good and bad points. You get all the flexibility, comfort and gadgets of a car, then you add the trailer just to load up with kit, but the downside is it's a bit more hassle hooking up and perhaps a bit less safe if leaving it anywhere.

I then bought a van, which didn't have the downsides above, but the downsides was it was a van, it was a pain to park sometimes, it drove like a van and sat on the drive like a van. It also regularly got stuck in fields like a van. And was a massive thief magnet, especially when I stupidly put massive KTM stickers on the side.

As I said before, the sweet spot of the whole two decade long experiment with motocross transport was a transit van and caravan.

That SWB Tranny looks good, I like them and if I was buying a van it would be one of those, or I'd stretch to a VW if budget would allow.

Just a thought for the future. Invest in a leisure battery, split charge relay and inverter. For under £200 you'll have as much leccy as you want for a weekend away.
Lights, chargers, tyre warmers, microwave etc...

There might be space under the driver's seat for that, there was on the mk7.

Or make a box cum bench seat.

I heard @Couchy did a night school course in leccy so he can advise

Once decided which size, I'll be getting at least one of these for helmets, shoes, etc.

As you've seen via Whatsapp, this one is being considered after chatting with you.

I've a full size transit and it's ace. It started off as a panel van and I've added to it over the last couple of years. Cut some windows in, electrics and a diesel heater. It's nice being able to stand up to change leathers.

In some vans all of that is factory fitted, my transit had a mains socket in the cab.
