Dazmondo with all the readies you're earning get a Transporter T32 - awesome van and holds its value.

Get a LWB you can get your drum kit in behind the tank. And the passenger seat comes up so you can safely tuck your sticks away too  ;D

I've got the swb low roof 330 4WD pulls like a train and handled the snowy roads a treat this morning.  Can be hard to find as they are quite rare but awesome for window cleaning.

do you have any pics of your van and set up mate? :)

Post by: Don Kee on January 13, 2017, 07:12:36 pm
They start at 270 which is under a 1000kg, everything above (290/310/330) should be over 1000kg so I'm not sure where you're looking mate

Also on the other thread you mentioned a recall for oil pumps, that was the earlier models...

Me thinks someones trying to find any excuse....

What determines the gross weight a van can carry
I had a transit custom. Drove like a car but it was soft footed and ate fuel, in comparison to my mk7

i was looking at the 270 etc that were on offer on vanarama.in fact all the customs on their site were the low payload models. ::)roll

the 330 trends look the business.great payload and id be able to fit my drums in too when rehearsing and gigging.

I reckon the lwb connect with twin sliding doors would be brilliant for a one man band.

I wouldn't get fixated on one van Dazmond, have you looked at the new design expert/dispatch? they look similar to transporters. Or the VX vivaro etc?

This could take months. Remember when you started WFP.  Daz is the most indecisive chap I have come across. In a nice way.
