Sign Writing & Roofrack Recommendations

[rolyberkin]

So a quick question, should I or should I not sign write my van and also recommendations on a roof rack mainly for ladders and a pipe holder, swb Trafic van do I need a two or three bar solution??

i got a 2 bar rhino for £95 free delivery. a 2 bar on a trafic will be adequate unless you are carrying heavy loads, or loads that won't reach both bars of a 2 bar.

as for sign writing, get some magnetic ones done. these can be transferred to another van if you change vans, and, if like me, you do subbing work, can be removed so you turn up in a plain van.

And you can take them off if you are in a dodgy area and don't want to advertise the fact that your van will be full of decent kit ...

That really makes sense as I also use my van for doing sound engineering, not overly keen on a fully sign written van so magnetics seems like a good middle ground!

these cost me £50 for both sides.

Another vote for Rhino products, we have the modular stuff, a bit pricier than Tel's option. Also if you are going for a tube for conduit & trunking and don't already have one I would pay the extra for a lined one as it'll stop the stuff you put in it getting scratched.

I bought these from Make A Sign, both sides and rear doors for just over £100. Took me an hour to apply.

Ultibars on mine - nice quality aluminium bars.
Not into sign writing prefer to be under cover.

Thanks all, ordered the Ulti Bars and not doing anything on the sign writing over and above some magnetic signs for the time being.
