I have a Citroen relay swb which has an extra bulk head fitted 3/4 down the the back because the back half has an oven cleaning dip tank fitted.
All my carpet cleaning kit fits in the front bit that's my storm, host, vac, Oreck xl , 100ft hoses and all the odds and sods.
So a swb will be plenty

I did 16 ovens in a week to help a mate out with his student EOT business...really hard work and to be fair i bet Seans results are more perfect than mine were that week but ive decided against it.
As for van, i get everything needed for domestics in a vauxhall combo.

It is hard work and messy but it helps getting in the door for the carpet cleaning and soon hard floor cleaning.
I.5 hours it takes to do a double oven and I charge £50. For that.
the hardest part is learning how the doors split to clean in between the glass panels.

If I can learn it anybody can, some company's train people I think its roughly £200 a day training.
