Vans are obviously more practical, essential for me as I do softwashing and pressure washing, I need the room.
Trucks have there place, will be really interesting to see how you’re getting on in a year or so Adam.
I agree they are more practical unless you dont need the room.
The verdict so far is there is not much difference between the two. The big advantage is the angle i can pull the hose and not having the doors in the way makes for easier working.
The biggest downside is not being able to hide in the back for a pee, but ive come up with a solution now although van wins for a mobile toilet.
Other than that theres nothing in it, it just boils down to space which there is plenty of for a solo operator doing windows only.
The truck is showing 25.8 mpg average in the 3 days ive used it this week solely for work. So obv dont buy one if you want economy, that said my van is showing 32mpg averaged over the last 3k miles with a mix of work and personal so the truck wont be that far behind once it starts get used for mixed driving.
So far its great just a different driving position which you get used to.
