what sort of work do you do, what amount per day, do you employ people.
this would vary your van choice
-
Commercial and domestic, currently all traditional.
Hoping to take my younger brother under my wing.

are you thinking of going wfp anytime soon ?
if not you only need an astra/belingo imo
Transit size is ott for a trad cleaner.
if you thinking going wfp which I would defo recomend I would go for a trnasit/vivaro due to the amount of water you will need to take
-
transit connect i would love very good vans :)
-
You could fit a 400L in a small van couldn't you?
-
i got a lwb one and the l230 we getting in a 500lt and the l220 i think u can get a 400 in
-
Toyota Hiace - google it for problems then Google all the others especially Vivarios
-
1.3 doblo i have a 44 litre tank in mine and its a quality van never misssed a beat and all the taxis here are then as well
-
the transit connect is a very popular choice, nice size and carry decent payload (up to 750kg i think).
I have a volkswagen caddy, looks the biz, pretty reliable (even though expensive to buy in the first place), has 750kg payload, i can legally carry up to 400 litres, all my kit and a passanger.
-
What van would do for me? At the moment just traditional gear, but wanting to get a backpack, pole and few barrels for water. Recently bought an estate but the WFP gear isnt going to fit >:( Wish I would of listened to what was said on here and not bothered with the estate....
-
toyota hiace, their is no other chioce in the world
-
Just found a lovely vauxhall combo. :-)
-
Toyota hiace,fantastic van, but very very slow,and they are on the expensive side to buy,however being a Toyota wont require too many trips to the garage
-
you want a renault trafic on a 03 ;)
-
toyota hiace all the way
-
my partner has a 850 payload great on fuel but slow but then im not in a hurry only fill it up once a mth,
-
expert hdi for me, excellent vans good on juice roomy and go well :)
-

-

Selling one are we...
-
with a 900kg payload and yet easy to park around town u cant really look further then the 230 connect with about 70k miles on maybe an 04 with roof rack and bulk head u should pay 3k for it. maybe a bit more.
-
transit connect t220 swb 825kg payload ;D
-

T330 have a higher payload get twin battery and you can run pumps all day from it, no need to charge battery up daily or spilt charge :)
-
T330 is a big van wont be good for me!

sorry I mean the T300 ::)
-
TRAFFIC ;D ;D GREAT MOTOR LOADS OF SPACE ,SPEED AND NICE TO DRIVE HAD A CONNECT BEFORE GREAT VAN BUT I FOUND IT A BIT SMALL :P :P
-
Combo is an excellent window cleaners van esp for trad - will take 400 ltr tank when you take up wfp
altho i would reccomend you have a static ro system and IBC and fill van from this
for what it's worth moved onto an LDV Maxus LWB h/r - 3.5 tonne - 1650 payload - 1000 ltr tank
and some days could still do with more space.... :o

Yeh defiantly going to be a static system in garage then pump into van. :-)
Too much choice, fnding a good one at the right price too.
-
If it were me i would buy the one of the medium sized vans, simple because if you change or things change you will have the room/payload to handle it without buying another van
Plus i have a Vivaro as +1 for them
-
Narrowed down to Berlingo, transit and Viaro. But think only the first too are in my budge as want less than 100k and a reasonable age.
-
Not sure where you're based but if you work in any congestion charge zone check the new rules first.
-
I'm in the Midlands, so no need to worry about that. :-)
-
Buy a vw its a diffrent class of a van.
-
Love to but over my budget.

no m8 iv a 07 vivaro

If your looking at a combo go for the higher payload, I've just got rid of mine as the coil springs couldn't take the load ( 400 lt ) and kept breaking . Bought a new fiat scudo

What about a Fiat Doblo Cargo?
I got one which was just 3 years old- 1.3TD, twin sliding doors, 730kg payload, fully ply lines, roof bars, remote alarm/central locking, FSH, mint condition for £3250 no vat. ;)
