Title: Best small Van
Post by: callum99 on March 31, 2018, 07:07:21 am

Hi guys, looking at changing my 2011 transit to something smaller, it needs to be able to carry 500 ltr tank plus other bits and bobs with out to much effort, what do you think, x Kevin.

Citroen Dispatch has been fine so far. 2.0 litre engine is better as I understand there were issues with the 1.6.  It's available in 1 tonne or 1.2 tonne payloads.  I went for the larger as I wanted a 700 litre tank, but the smaller would be fine for 500 litres.  Although they have decent payloads, they are a bit smaller.  I find it to be far more manoeuvrable than my old Trafic van. The L1 H1 variety seems OK to me.

I like my pug partner.

Cheap to buy decent on juice and an 850 payload.

I have a 500 tank in mine.

They might be too big though.   
I think he's after something small, unreliable and that he can't afford.

its worth hiring  a van before deciding on a purchase .its suprising how many you can rule out as unsuitable after a weekends use

Why smaller?
Is it running costs or parking issues.
Also what are the other 'bits and bobs'?
