Genuinely though, the van looks fine to me.
£6k I reckon would be about right.

No. It isn't.
If it were, you'd've sold it by now.

Are you looking for newish van?
If not why are you poo pooing what looks like a decent van for decent money?
A Van like most things is only worth what you are willing to pay for it.
I just dont understand people on here finding negatives all the time..
As for the fumes, im sure he does not operate it with the doors closed

The only thing i will agree on is that you should never carry a 1000ltrs of water in a van which is not baffled..... Not even sure if the payload would carry that. not that i know for sure.

previously worked driving hgv's carrying dangerous goods including 1000L IBC's which were strapped to vehicle. They may not be baffled and the driver must drive accordingly. So if it's within vehicle capacity then it's down to driver capability whether or not they want to transport it.

Finally. Someone who actually knows that they're talking about and a real life experience.

Weight wise, it'll be tight. Probably just in allowing the 5%.

 The van looks clean and tidy but it is a  2007, with 122,000miles , the plus side is 12mths tax & mot with full s/h. there are lots of trafs with the same same spec  for sale at £3000-£3500.

No filters or RO .....the reels are £40 new + hose so £80 for the two,  IBC..£40, 2x used clx £120-150  the heater is £200 new so £120, pump £30, water proofing/ checker plate £150


 At 7k it it is over priced, I value it all at about 4k-4.2k any more I wouldn't feel like I was on right side of the deal.

That's Interesting Alan, Thanks for correcting me.
I presume when you transported them they were full of liquid though? I personally would not be happy to drive a static non baffled tank around that is half full of water! the water would be smashing about everywhere, especially tuning corners.

Exactly, plus a van loaded to its limit would be a lot less stable than a HGV.
You have not been corrected your first post was excellent advice.

Don't forget it an upright non baffled tank which would be even more dangerous than one
lower to the floor.

Very good point. Ullage is where the problem starts. Especially when braking.

I think the van dose look good though. Simple and clutter free. I'm currently disgusted with my van's recent events so if I can afford to upgrade id consider this size of van and set up with the pressure washer behind cab.

If we are referring to the Transit setup, it only looks good for the photographer. It wouldn't look like that as an everyday working van.

I don't think the gas bottle is mounted and secured very professionally, and I don't think a professional setup like is claimed should have a rear door mounted heater. It should be permanently secured internally with a roof vent. I'm also at a loss to understand why the gas tube from the gas bottle regulator needs to be insulated.

Its also a rather a lot of van for a single system.

That tank full of water will push it over the payload.. It will have a max of 1200kg. That is to include everything... Driver, passenger(as its set up for 2 people) fuel the whole lot.. No way will 200kg cover all that lot.. IMHO. It may look the part and is neatly done but I think its dangerous.. Again just my opinion

I was commenting on the first post of the Renault.
I'll have a look for the insulated gas pipe though.

That's right.
And the reason that I sold all my work in Ullage.
