Going to look at a 2012 transit tommorrow. It will primarily function as a service van for residential calls.
the kiss of death is weight for them... if i was going to set one up,
i'd look long and hard at this system....

tanos is the company that makes festool's equipment boxes.
their stuff rocks. it's light, strong, and makes keeping stuff
sorted easy.
and for ladders, the Type 1A Revolution XE #22 will fit cross bed
in a van, and the weight is ok, and it's the only ladder i carry unless
i need to toss a large extension ladder up on top... and i almost never
have to do that... that one ladder is all i carry, and i never run into
a problem with getting where i need to get.
the model 26 will get me up on a tilt up roof, and IT fits cross bed in my
van.
