Post by: CLEANCARE WC on April 13, 2011, 12:43:09 pm: Those of you with these vans could you fit the smallest 2 section A frame/ pointer ladder inside the van? These are my first choice for my next van so would be handy to know. Thanks, Cleancare.

But as you get higher off the floor that length decreases as the backs of the seats 'encroaches' into the load space. As has been mentioned, you will have a little space above the driver and passenger cabin area you may be able to utilise.
The model van that Tosh has just bought only came in 1 length, although a LWB version was available on the continent.
It is the latest van version after 2007 that has 2 body lengths.

Post by: Spruce on April 13, 2011, 07:21:43 pm: Just an added point.

Citroen and Peugeot vans came with a dual passenger seat as standard but Fiat sold theirs as a added extra. So there are some Scudo's out there that have a single passenger seat although they are rare. There is very little chance of buying a used Citroen or Peugeot with a single passenger seat as they were sold as a no cost option and a factory order - so there is very little chance of getting a van that you could stand the ladder up between the seats.

do you have a full bulkhead though?

reason I ask is 8foot 4 is 2.54 meters and that will not fit if the bulkhead is in place
