TomCrowther has one i think ???

Just him sean are they that popular then :)

I dont know what everyone else drives :)
But unless you want to carry a ridicuous amount of equipment , you are better with a mid size van- transit, vivaro etc

I had a second hand one. Extra high roof. Ladders inside. Loved it.
After 8 weeks the engine blew, ended up as scrap as the cost of relacement engine was stupid.
Avoid.

Agree, they are a big van, do you need that much space?

Im also looking at a combo too but im going to be employing one extra man in the coming months so was looking for a three seater...
Whats the legal regulations for turning a panel van into a crew van does anyone know?
I was thinking of attaching one extra row of seats in back and might get the side door glazed!

Used to drive a lwb high top movano a few years back. Very nice to drive.

surely not on the council estates? with a big movano it must look like the big boys have arrived to replace the windows

Get a double cab pick up.

Try a Peugeot Boxer High roof MWB - from 2008 onwards - they look modern and drive great - even with a ton of water in the back!

Hi Danny, Yes I have a Movano. It is 10 years old and has a few war wounds but starts every time, doesn't cost too much to run and I can fit the world and his dog in there. Got a 1000 litre tank, and can fit all my other stuff in- big gutter vac with all fittings, large pressure washer, rotary cleaner, triple ladder, etc etc etc.
If you are looking for a big van, they are worth a try.

Thanks for the replys
Im considering the Movano but also looking at a combo van too. Its a question of do i need all the space
Thanks for the advice and it will help me make my decision in the coming weeks
Best Regards
