Joe 2 Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 I've just bought a transit van to use for work and to carry my dogs in. I can't decide how to kit it out though so was wondering if any of you fellas have some good set ups in your vans. If you could put some pics up to give me some ideas!

Flamin'Nora! 50 Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 I would probably ply one portion of it off and put a roof fan in so the dogs can be kept seperately and the other portion could be used for all your gear, boots, nets, ferrets, guns or whatever you use when hunting, or even turned into a bit for sleeping in if you wanted to try camping out with the dogs or hunting away from home My own van just has a spare wheel, toolbox and a bit of carpet in the back which I change every month or so, the dogs have a pecking order who stands where and they assume their various positions within seconds of jumping in, but some prefer to have crates in the back of a van so individual dogs can be transported seperately Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TOMO 26,103 Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 BEST bet is get yourself to a lurcher terrier show, or a gamefair that has a dog show,, these guys that show there dogs have some great motors with caged areas , and places for people to sleep , somtimes on top of the cages or boxes, seen some great set ups Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CarraghsGem 92 Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 mine isnt kitted out as such, need it for work and stuff! when im bringing terriers out they go in individual dog crates and gear is beside them, when i bring lurcher, ferrets and parson russel out they go loose in back of van with ferret in the ferretbox and nets hanging up Quote Link to post Share on other sites

olim 28 Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 if you wanted to sleep in the back, a fishing bed chair could be ideal as they are really comfortable and fold up easily. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bristol tim 135 Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 heres mine for the terriers, the lurcher stays in front of the box, luckly its in a 4x4 and i do use it for work so the boxes can come out when needed 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
