That is not true. If you run a 300 ltr or 250 ltr tank then the caddy is fine. Space is ltd but it will cope. I have 440 ltr tank in my combo and while it is ok the weight is an issue as is space for me. Nowhere for my golf clubs!!

Basically it all depends what you want from the van and the size of your tank!! ;)

Those new caddy's are dead smart, and with a max weight of over 800kg it should be fine for wfp.

hi nigel my caddy has a 400lt tank in the back and an 800kg payload, just not that long.
i have my poles running down the door and i just fancy hanging them up.

thinking about your advice on the superlite pole now.

and where did you get this information from.

i have a ford transit connect nearlly same size as a vw caddy and i used to have a transit with 700ltr tucker pole system i now have 400 ltr and it does exactly the same amount of window cleaning using a varistream and microbore as did the 700ltr so what youve said here is a load of tosh

The payload with that van in my opinion makes no difference,it`s just not big enough it`s the smallest van in it`s class that i`ve seen.Even the salesman at VW said it would be no good for what you need it for,if it`s a VW then it`s a transporter for me ideal size.

I have a new LWB connect,i have a 500ltr tank in mine with plenty of room to spare i don`t know how you can say it`s the same size as a caddy,height and length it`s bigger.I would still prefer more room,my next van will be the transporter or the traffic.If you have poles poking through into the footwell i don`t know how anyone can say that there van is plenty big enough.
