Peugeot expert, van build bikes and work. (Pic heavy)

monkeyboyjc · 2023-01-16T09:08:51Z

So I've just bought a new van, a 2019 Peugeot expert 2.0, with 60k on the clock its going to have a few uses, primary use if for my village shop, transporting stock and doing deliveries (one or two small local trips a week) and secondly a weekend van / 2nd vehichle for the family and my bike... I started a thread on why I picked this van and if I could go with a smaller van here. So I thought I'd start a new thread documenting what I'm going to do to the back of the van and also so I don't jump on others existing threads. This is the van.... Pretty standard in the back when I picked it up last week, but that gave the first issue - it's too big and my stock slides around so I needed a boot mat of some sort, but one that's also suitable for the bike. There are specific ones available for the expert in Europe but not in the UK and they are very expensive. So I bought a sheet of 3mm ribbed sheet (oo er misses), and took the floor out and cut that down to fit at the weekend. Next it comes to bikes and kit, keeping it off the floor and away from stock. I've got a couple of bits so far but I'm aiming to paint the ply lining in pick up bed liner paint, the rubberised stuff. But the paint hasn't turned up yet. I bought a couple of bungee storage things from the ply guys, and fitted them. Temporary solution for helmets at this stage, but they are quite secure. That's as far as I got over the weekend, other than planning where to put a bike wash kit and lights and an extensive weekend warrior tool box. My next big issue is carrying mine and mates bikes, I've a road/gravel, full sus trail and fat bike. I want to carry at least 2 bikes, wheels on, but store the carrier out of the way in the van mon-fri. I'm currently looking at solutions from Bikestow who have a fatbike version being released soon, and also Sender ramps who I need to email about fat bike compatibility. Any suggestions or other ideas welcome.

Have a look here... https://www.nissanusa.com/interactivebrochures/commercial/nv-200-compact-cargo/nv200-cargo-versatility/index.html
It's the US version but I don't think that it's so different. The 60:40 door split is the other way around in RHD form, and UK NV200s vans tend to have a steel bulkhead which is shaped to follow the seat back. 2m+ at the base, but intrudes into the load area at the height of the top of the seat back. It's bolted in.
Scroll down and it talks about 12 floor-mounted D-rings, I'm sure that mine has 6, as shown

You've done a great job with that

The back of my Kombi is plylined, not pretty but so functional. Those screw in things look pretty useful!

Well I can highly recommend a BikeStow - had a couple of trips, easy to put up and down. Very stable and bikes are super secure.
