Does anyone know if a set of 13ft rods will fit diagonally in a Ford courier van with the bulk head in? From a search the floor is the longest point so would box it out and slide the rods in the bottom

Why a courier van mate? What's your budget?

Got a berlingo but it's not ulez compliant so need to swap it in. Only use the van for fishing so was trying to keep costs down realistically I think I'll need another berlingo/partner

What year is it? I believe most of the Berlingos 2016+ are Euro 6.

Finding one with decent mileage and at a decent price is a different story. I bought mine in 2021 and could probably sell it for the same price I bought it. The 2nd hand market is silly.

No, not with the bulkhead in, like Luke said i could get my 13ft rods in diagonally with a hole in my cage in my old swb connect.

my SWB 08 connect gets 12fts across the diag but its not exactly got loads of room left over
as the rear bulk head shape isnt totally flat.

i think with the bulk head out it would be fine
i mean i used to get all my gear into a N reg micra with the rods on the front seat no problem

Just be careful removing the bulkhead, a mate of mine had his tools robbed amd had to take photos of the bulkhead for the insurance claim. I think his had been modified and guess what they wouldn't pay out
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
