I pitched my S/O on the idea of getting a scuba van....she about killed me. So I guess I won't get to 30 tanks that way...
It is primarily a motorcycle van, but has done SCUBA as well. Fairly easy 4WD conversion as well (waiting for warranty to be up before I go that deep into it). Just about finished with the winch install, just the battery cables to do.
 
Pretty modest compared to some of you, but it's on a rather dangerous trajectory.

1998: 1 AL80
2003: 2 AL80
2010-2022: 2 AL80, 2HP130
*Sold the HP130s in '22 or early '23
2023: 2 AL80, 2 HP120

January 6, 2024: 2 AL80, 2 HP120, 2 HP100
January 26, 2024: 2 AL80, 2 HP120, 4 HP100

Those last two HP100s were actually my wife's fault. Neighbor was moving and had a yard sale. She called me and told me to come out and take a look as they had some tanks. I figured they were AL80s, but headed over. Actually were HDG PST HP100s, for practically nothing. So I had to grab them.
 
I miss my scuba van but sadly it wasn't the most practical daily driver and I wanted/needed something that was 4x4 for Mexico. If I had more driveway space I would have kept it.

I "upgraded" to a pickup with a cap on it. I do miss being able to stand up and gear up in the van, especially for snowy or rainy New England days but it is a much better vehicle for Mexico or winter New England driving.

Regarding my cylinder count, it is honestly not as bad as some people. Between my wife and I if I also include rebreather bottles and suit inflations bottles (which feels like is cheating) we are in triple digits now which is scary to me.

That was a great setup you had with the van. Very close to what I was envisioning. Still a pipe dream of mine which I hope to make a reality one day when I have more space. The truck shell is the next best thing. Unfortunately, it's been hard to find a shell like that to fit my truck. Had to settle for a bed cover instead which helps to keep prying eyes away.

Also hearing triple digits makes me feel better...

If I ever get another van I'd probably add a large battery system so I could plug into shore power and/or charge stuff off an inverter, roof fan vents, and maybe a foldable sleep platform. I had plans to do all this but the van was starting to need some major work at 150k miles and I wanted something smaller as a daily driver.

It took me forever to find a used cap that fit my Nissan Frontier. It's unfortunately the shorter bed which is a little limited in space. I do sometimes wish I had a larger bed but I like the compact size of this pickup truck. I also built a removeable shelf for an additional layer of storage which works pretty well.

I was quoted $3000-$3500 from Leer or ARE for the top I wanted brand new. Thankfully I found pretty new top (Ranch brand) on Craigslist for $700 bucks. It's off color but I am kind of digging the black/white scheme.

That setup you have now is great. Really maximizes the space and you can throw a ton of gear in the back (especially with the shelf). My truck is a little bigger (older Tundra) but it's getting to the point where with two people plus rebreathers, bailout tanks, deco bottles, doubles, scooters, drysuits, etc. etc. etc...I don't think I can cram anything more into it. I'll have to resume my search for a shell since that might be the next best thing vs. a dedicated van. Now off to FB marketplace...

Scuba van is a must, how else do you get your tanks down to Florida for a couple weeks of diving?

So. Much. Room. And you've barely even scratched the surface...
It was full, there were four more rebreathers and a lot of other gear that went. Tanks just load on the bottom.
