I've decided that cargo vans are nice because they're small and can go anywhere, but because of the low ceiling height and relatively high loading height they are a nightmare to pack. They also don't ever have square walls, there are wheel wells and everything else in the way. That said, what is the best way to pack gear in a van? I need something small enough that I can lift it (so a ramp or second person aren't necessary) but yet is durable enough to stand up to some serious use. I don't really want a whole bunch of small wood trunks, they're too bulky and heavy.
I have several of these plastic bins and they seem to work great. I have a hand truck that folds down into a cart and makes it easy to move the couple I have; more shouldn't be a problem at all.
What does everyone think? Is it too 'unprofessional' to use black plastic shipping containers for cables and gear?
