Out of curiosity, what are you getting instead?

Value wise I think you need to look at a guide such as Parkers to value your van. I am not sure that having a wfp system in it adds much value, although I think a 500l system would be more attractive.

If you take out the system it would be easier to sell the van then sell system separately. Although worth trying to sell it all together first.

Why not get your system swapped over to your new van?

Considering it is around £400 to have a system fitted by them, that seems a bit steep. You should ask them how long it takes.

Makes no difference how long it takes I’m glad my customers don’t go on how long it takes to clean there windows,you either want to pay the price or you don’t end of.
I know if they fit anything for me it will be done the best way it can be.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I would be surprised if it took more than 2 hours to fit a Grippa system. It is pretty much pre- assembled and just seems to need bolting in to the van. I would guess 4 hours  to swap one to another van?

I phoned Grippa recently about doing a small job on my van and was told they charged £49.50 per hour + VAT.
