Van 2 £  35 a month - about 200 miles a month


You should swap the vans round, use van 2 to do the 450 miles, would work out £78.75 a month and van 2 would cost £44 a month saving you £13 a month...dont say i never do anything for you

Problem is van 2 is a Doblo and not suitable for 2 man working - we use it for gutter vaccing and sometimes when only one of us is working; and as an extra van occasionally if we have a dirty school to clean and will get through more than 650 litres in a day.

Just having a giraffe with you  :) and doblo is capable of 2 man in my opinion. My Combo must be similar if not smaller and is fine
