i presently have a vauxhall combo & trailer combination, looking to sell the trailer and acquire a second van,
quite like the vivaro but just want to make sure my 600 ltr IBC will fit in & still have plenty of room left for my other gear,
any thoughts appreciated,
thanks.

a 600 litre would easily fit in a vivaro, but depends what other gear you have?
Lee Blastaway has just got a fiat scudo (quite alot smaller than vivaro) and has a 600 ibc fitted snug along with a brendon washer and 50metre hose reel, nice and tidy with a bit of room left for other things.... but it depends what else you carry around

What trailer set-up do you have?
Vivaro easily cope but I would go for a LWB for sure.

i have a bateson plant trailer with cage sides, has a 1000litre IBC and a pressure washer / hotbox in it, i take them out when i'm not using it and store them in the container, the trailer only comes out for gum removal / 2 man jobs, most of my work can be done by one man

Ive tried the 1000ltr tank and pressure washer on trailer on my second van. its a ball ache. in/out of storage.
600 ltr will sit in most mwb vans, we currently taking an escort van/trailer into an mwb sprinter. including carpet/upholstery equip-dryers-hoses-chemicals. oven cleaning tank-chemicals. 600ltr ibc . honda gd411 derv pressure washer/hoses lances etc, plan it out. we still got the trailer as a back up if stuck.

Definitely go LWB. I was struggling with room in my last van (swb) and just upgraded to a transit LWB. So much room, no need to unpack everything to get things out. Wouldn't go back to a small van unless i was adding it as a second van.

i have two complete set ups which fit ok in my van & trailer but i have picked up more & more commercial work now that i need to run two vans so wanted to make sure the vivaro would cope,
it will be carrying, washer, hot box, gennie, 600ltr IBC, 50mts of h/p hose, 100 foot of water hose, rotary cleaner, plus all the other bit's n bob's, sounds like the vivaro will more than cope, will definitely go for the LWB,
thanks for the replies.

Anyway job done tonight Lee, going to bed knackered. Removed about 2,000 pieces of gum tonight along M&S up to near Tesco doors. They close at 4 so hit there while it's still light. Work again at 8am!!! I need a holiday!
