looking at a small van for wfp for the next few months to a year till i build a big enough work load and save for a larger two man set up but for now just want a 400 - 500 litre setup so i can start changing rounds to wfp lad with me will back pack or trad bottoms for now
so i am looking at vauxhall combo or ford connect , fancy combo as they seem cheap to pick up and they have decent payload and power the 1.7 tdi has 100 bhp and 810 kg payload i think
whats your experience with them??
-
i have a dispatch/expert wish i had bought one sooner, 3 seats, carrys 810 kg and has got a 400 water in
-
that got 3 seats?
sounds good not really looked at them yet
-
i have had transit, escort van and a astra, and prefer the dispatch, more room and can get the kids in the front 2 side doors, and back doors, handles great with 400 in the back

If you know you're going for two man and 500L then get the 3 seat HDi Peugeot expert with 900kg payload.
If like me it's one man and 400L then a Doblo is a good 'un.

i have a doblo with two man set up great van
-
i will be getting a much bigger van for a proper 2 man set up but for now need small van mainly for one man as i have some wfp work and am turning over parts of round wfp ...
so just need best bet for 500 l for now
expert looks good
do they pull well with 500 litres
-
as long as its Hdi they'll pull everything you can chuck in.
640ibc in mine. only the steepest of steep hills round my way gets it struggling when setting off 1st - 2nd but if your already moving the turbo just takes it easy.
-
I use a combo - 400 ltr tank (upright) goes really well and the pols fit inside.

Got 2 doblo's and love them. Nice and easy to get the ladders off the roof when needed too.
They're both 1.3 multijet and don't struggle with a full 400ltr tank

Ditto
That 1.3 turbo is amazing, knocking on 50mpg too with 400ltr in tow! :D

I have a 1999 Peugeot Expert 1.9TD... Not as good as the HDI engine but it pulls well as its an ex-police van and I think they might have tinkered with it ;)
I've got a 650Ltr tank in the back.

I have a 1.9 JTD Doblo, twin SLD, been a great van, you can get them for a good price too if you have a good look around.
