FGB (work it out) people carriers
Discussion
Hi all,
Last year when moving out of uni accomodation, the parents borrowed a Shalambraxy people carrier and we just about got all my stuff in with 2 of the 5 seats folded down and things piled right to the back of the front seats
This year, I have MORE stuff! However, I dont want to borrow a van because a lot of said stuff is loose and quite delicate loose(ie no boxes) electrical equipment that I dont want bouncing around inside a cavernous interior. Also, it would need to seat 3 people and be bearable for cheshire/bristol/cheshire in a day.
Can anyone suggest a slightly bigger people carrier? Would a Grand Espace or Grand Voyager be sufficiently larger if we could find one to borrow?

Just had these delivered for a house move: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/35-Cardboard-Removal-Box...
That + van rental = sorted.

thanks for the minibus Idea, that just just what I was after!
I cant use boxes I'm afraid as its a bit tricky getting a 32" tv or electric guitar or stereo system size/shaped box, and I usually put them on the car seats to stop any road shocks going through them like they would on the floor of a van.

FYI, that seller has boxes suitable for LCD TVs.
Tie down stuff you don't want to move, use empty boxes as padding, etc.
Hardly rocket science is it? I moved the contents of a studio flat (not furniture, just my posessions) in a massive f
ker of a LWB van (mix up at the rental firm) without breaking anything.

Everything else you can ask around for and borrow.
And I hate people who are constantly pestering to borrow things. For example, I have 3 or 4 of all bits of cutlery and plates/bowls, glasses, cups etc. and all the little things like tin openers, sieves etc that no-one else ever bothers bringing but want to use more than me. I always have half a mind to tell them no - buy your own and stop scrounging.Not to mention that that photo also includes the 2 and a half 2x2x3ft boxes of books, textbooks, notes etc, all my clothes, ps3, printer, computer, tv, stereo, 3 guitars, 2 weeks worth of clothes, bedding, a few soft furnishings etc and 2 desk drawers worth of stationary. And a bike and accompanying box of tools, parts, and a karting helmet. And a few small kitchen appliances 9toaster, kettle, popcorn machine). And a box of toiletries.
This year I moved in with 2 car trips, having had the fortune to be going that way a week or so before move-in date so took one car load then. but I need to move out in one trip and as usual have accumulated more bought things over the year - a desk lamp and fan, some land rover parts, and a pair of mini tyres being the main ones this year.
Take a look out of your window and see what the other students that don't own an estate Land Rover use.
If that doesn't work, and you are struggling to figure how to move more than a Sharan's worth of junk in a Sharan, you need to make the decision of whether normal, problem solving life is for you.
There will be a day when you can't get an internet signal, and both a Big Mac and a Quarter Pounder will be on the menu, and you need to prepare for these big situations.
