I'd have thought you'd struggle to get a more storage friendly one than the jack that came with the van. You could use a scissor one but it'd have to be a big scissor one due to the height of the van I'd have thought - or put it on blocks, but then that's even more space taken up,

My tuppence anyway.....

I've not used a scissor jack since I watched the threads on one stip and a type 2 go down with an almighty bang. 2tn Bottle jack safer.

Besides, this has been asked before http://forum.club8090.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=100144" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; - do try to use the search feature before posting.
