-
ahhh a show van, not a working van lol ;D

Its been working 2 weeks up to now and loving it!! :D :D :D
-
Any idea guys, particularly those Berlingos, what length the rear compartment is, thinking about pole size and fitting it in.
Also is there any reason why most of the tanks are upright, wouldnt a flat tank create more room?

if you look at my pic, ive fixed a couple of poles across the van quite high up and covered them in pipe insulation and my poles run all the way along the roof and up to the sun visor on the passenger side, and it doesnt affect the person sitting there. my advice would be to get xtels as they have shorter sections and are easy to operate. i got the upright tank because it gives more floor space
-
Jimmy what pole holders you got in your van as i got trafic too, system going in next week and was thinking about getting the pole holders that plumbers use cutting them down to fit in roof of van but yours look smart.

Supllied and fitted by Ionics - Just says stainless steel pole rack on invoice 150 Euros which is about £118 approx although price probably be cheaper in England. Its very handy cause its at the side of vehicle.

I notice alot of people have barn doors at the rear, same as i have at the moment, but looking at a van with a tailgate at the moment. Anyone else have a tailgate? How do you get on with it?

(http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk51/pirip/100_0392.jpg)Citroen Dispatch 2.0hdi 900 kg payload
600 litre baffled tank bolted to chassis.
Van mounted hosereel with 100m 10mm hose
Flojet pump with electronic flow regulator, battery charger.
Pole rack from Stream (in picture 3x6, 4x6 and short pole + 5x6 tuckerpole through tank top)
Have oblong squeegee bucket other side of wheel arch plus box with other equipment between other side of tank and seats.
I fill the system from a static tank though the supplier also fits systems with on board purification sytem.

I guess it is a matter of preference but would think that with a flat tank it could be difficult sometimes for the water to feed the pump when it gets low, you may have to park one side on kerb.

Yes I did get van fit from Denis and Samantha in Grantham. Overall pleased with it but as I fill up from a static system would have been better with a filler cap than a spout. Think mounted hosereel works well but no experience of other systems to compare with.
I can affrod to shop at waitrose occasionally since going wfp. Should have tidied van up a bit before pic. Can't remember whats in bag, probably wads load of cash. will have look later.

Denis in Grantham. He gets tank made up to required measurements, so they can be made upto whatever shape and size is most suitable.
My tank is 10mm polypropylene so they are more expensive. If you are filling from a static system make sure tank has filler cap as opposed to spout. He fits systems, not sure if he would supply only tank but worth an ask, would probably fit tank for you. Good luck dd

cat, how do you get on with the hose trolley. I looked at it but it looked a little fragile
