Scuba van is a must, how else do you get your tanks down to Florida for a couple weeks of diving?
Nice! Ultimately I solved part of my problem by renting a storage unit in High Springs but I do miss my van terribly for long road trips.

My original justification was so I could get a cheap flight to Orlando and have plenty of doubles/stages and O2. Of course, half the time i am going to Florida I am driving but we did enjoy a bunch of quick cheap trips during COVID.

If it was just me going diving, I keep some tanks in Florida for that reason. I am down for a couple of weeks teaching courses on a couple of different units. Plus my wife and I doing some cave diving in between courses. It adds up to always needing what I don't have there.

Got a set of double steel HP120s, but boy are they heavy! Will downgrade to double HP100s, who knows, maybe I'll go bigger agin later on :p
 
So. Much. Room. And you've barely even scratched the surface...
Yeah, but one more tank and you technically need a hazmat placard and manifest to drive this anywhere.
