Title: Bipper van
Post by: Slash on January 21, 2016, 06:20:30 pm

Hi Guys
I have a vivaro at the moment with a 650 tank but want to down grade to a bipper with a 350 litre tank,I just find a smaller van would be ideal as the kids are older and don't need cycles in the back anymore.
Does anyone on here have a Bipper and how do you find them.
Many thanks

If you look on the X-Line Systems blog, they have fitted out a Citroen Nemo with a 350Ltr system:

they look tiny mate.will 350L be ok for a days work though?

500L  tank for me( i use around 400L-450L a day)

dont forget you ll need a little bit of water left in your tank or your pump with be sucking in air.

Bit small IMHO.

Doblo is good. Old shape will let you put a 400 in with room to spare.

I have a berlingo with 450L tank. My work is mainly commercial but on the domestic only days when I'm on the glass for 6 or more hours I often have to be mindful of how much water I'm using. I wouldn't want to only have 350L with me on domestic work.

I find my 650 litre tank will do me 2 days easily, I  have it on 3 on the digital varistream which is plenty so think 350 is no problem daily, they are small but when I think of it I only need a 350 tank and hosereel and my bucket really, in my vivaro there is so much unnecessary space.
Many thanks guys  ;D

I have very occasionally needed to work with a tight restriction on water use.
Yes, I could manage a day with 300 litres - nearly every time.
However, most days I would need to slow down to the water flow.
It's usually possible to clean windows with very little water but if working too fast for the flow, results could well be variable.
