The trick is to make the van "look" like it's full of boxes. You don't necessarily have to pack the entire van full.

One method, from the model railroading "bag of tricks", is to cut wood blocks the required size, then wrap with brown kraft paper to simulate corrugated cardboard. Pallets can also be scratchbuilt from either basswood or balsa wood.

Someone was selling sheets of cardstock at one time that was printed boxes. I cannot remember who but I think it was on this forum. Or if you can get a hold of A Lindberg Dodge and Trailer set it has a sheet for you make boxes with it. Also it has a few pallets in plastic to build.
