I often argue that our hobby is actually cheaper than owning other, similarly priced, unnecessary items such as boats, quads, motorcycles etc. There are no running costs, such as fuel, ridiculous insurance fees etc. With an Armortek model there is just the upfront cost and that's it.
However, I bought myself a van to transport my models safely and easily without ruining the family car. So, now I have all those running costs.
That van has proven to be one of the most useful items I have ever bought, though, so well worth it. There is no end to the trips to IKEA, the lumber yard and the recycling facility.
It has been a very good replacement for my old, beloved, Buick roadmaster.
This is how I have constructed an interior from aluminum channels and plywood. It is secured in existing fittings. There is a shelf to hold packing and other stuff. If I move a beam out of the way, I can even sleep on the shelf. There is room for three tanks (on the floor), although I only have two at the moment.
You can see the bed on the shelf:
The models are secured with boating items:

I think this is as secure as it gets?
