Thanks for all the replies guys. Quite a few good points have been brought up and have got me thinking.
As I am single and have the travel bug, I am looking at working solo for the next couple of years and hainge the freedom travel and see as much of the world as possible. If I settle down, I'll put on an apprentice then. For now then, the jobs I will be going for will be small ones. I am not keen on working for chippies. I have a few shops I do maintenance work for, a mate who is a fridge mechanic, I will be doing the electrical work for all his air con installs, and then as many little jobs I can possibly get my hands on.
So I figure I will need to carry a 6ft and 8ft A frame, extension ladder (they will live on the roof), drills, basic tools, tool box with miscellaneous tools in tool box, 2mm and 1.5mm cable, rods and straps, gpos, baton holders, lamps, mounting brackets and mounting blocks(well all the little things that will fit a small shelving unit). Do you guys also carry ceilings fans, par 38 light fittings and the like?
It's a tough call, I will head out this week (as I am looking for work and have spare time) and look at a few vans and utes and try make my mind up. It's a big decision that needs to be thought out properly.
