Title: starting out WFP
Post by: sunshine windies on June 06, 2011, 10:49:48 pm

hi i'm looking for some advice please .......my situation is i have a pretty small round (about £500 per month) which i do part-time in mornings, in the afternoons i do some courier work, it pays so bad that i am thinking of buying WFP gear and doing it full time (pretty sure i could expand what i've got reasonably fast ). The main reason i'm looking towards WFP is i fell of the ladder in the winter and my back (and nerves) haven't been right since.

I have a fiesta van for the courier work, would it be possible to use this , would a tank / poles etc. fit in it?
Any advice on what sort of kit i should be looking for please , i'm thinking of trying to pick up the gear (possibly 2nd hand ) for under £1000 , is this realistic?

Loads of questions i know but i'm pretty confused by it all at the moment!! any advice gratefully received
Thanks
scott

well enough about you being confused....... :)


you can get a diy system from cleaning warehouse for bout £700
is your van the fiesta courrier van?
would be good as you wont get your poles in the other one,
unless you have a roof rack.

amny thanks

or is this a cheap / poor product?

regarding the van unfortunately i have the car derived fiesta van but i'm looking to get  roofbars on it. Is it ok to carry the poles on the roof?

thanks
