Alright fellas just got hold of my new transit custom after recommendations on quality seat covers floor mats etc either off the web or local to me in Swansea
Cheers
 
Shocked there isn't a design with shelfs on the side and a pull out bit for the middle that drops down legs to support it like a table.
Guess more like the trollies you get in ambulance were the wheels fold under as you push it in.
As for the shelfs inside, should get access every via a side door or the trolly/table in the middle comes out fully making it easy to put it were ever to work around.
This would mean rails on the floor to hold it in place, but I think a sheet of wood with some system to put on to the rails so you can cover it up when you don't want the trolly in there, this also means tools on the troll can be just pull put each night so no tools left in the van.

Other things is padding on the ceiling and netting so you can store things there too, would mean some posts on the side to hold tension.

No i haven't racked it out yet, I have only found 1 company that does wooden racking/shelving but i cant justify paying over ÂŁ240 per side of the van (metal starts at ÂŁ500)
I guess there are not many kits out for it has not been out that long. I just have not got time to make my own either. Still a great van though.

Also got the new Transit Connect and love it, also wish I went for the Custom for the extra space!

Have fitted racking down the drivers side of the rear, very happy with it and fits perfectly for ÂŁ150 through eBay - New Connect 2014 SWB Binrack Van Racking Van storage Plywood Shelving | eBay

It's got full wooden racking as well, couldn't rate it high enough, was used to having everything all over the place in my transit connect, now it's all got its own place!

My vans racked out ... but still used to having everything all over the spot. Especially on re-wires where you empty half the contents of your van into the gaff - then at the end of the day or end of the job if leaving on site they all just get thrown in (fatima whitbread style)

I really should be more domesticated.
