If its ply lined, I just screw in some hooks to hang bucket, dry bag of scrims etc. Ratchet straps to secure barrels, back pack etc. Plastic storage boxes with lids from  diy stores are handy too !
Sure the door cards are nice but I think people get quite obsessive about  what is essentially a work van. If you really want to though check out aquaeous plastic fabrications he can build any tank or storage solutions you could want.

I suppose it all depends on the work your doing, water fed or trad and any additional add ons etc. This is how i set my scudo out. Thankfully it was fibreglassed before i purchased it, which helps and i no longer keep the diy filtration on top of tank.
The top of tank i use for keeping the odd scrim as rarely use them now. But theres so much space when its organised that i can store a box with bits n bobs in or spare wfp parta for instance. I book pressure washing jobs on wks where i only have a 3 day round, so reel hose n brushes come out n pressure washer goes in. Simples (for my requirements anyways)

Cheers james.
Its just a small piece of wood painted.
A brass L type fitting (needed a little manipulation) that is screwed into side of van (fibre glass) and into wooden beam.

This is the little Pug Partner I did for my son. We have since added these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3x-Storage-Nets-Universal-Vw-Camper-Van-Motor-Home-T2-T4-T5-Car-Boat-/122016759635? and screwed them to van ply lining, very handy for storing bottles/scrims etc.
