Transporters look very nice

A good freind of mine has just got a sportsline 174,in black they don`t look to flashy compared to silver i think.The trafic does tick a lot of boxes for me although the sportsline is what i want really,people keep telling me 22k is a lot of money for a work van lol.

at the end of the day you have to drive it day in day out and if you afford to get one then why not
-
the sportsline is very nice
i took 1 for a test drive a few weeks ago
-
we have been told that a dispatch or scudo would do it are they the same size as a vivaro

There lying,you cannot put that tank in that size van.

Im getting a van soon, not bothered so far just used a box trailer, however its a nightmare to manouver, still not got used to it, my drive is to narrow!
Got a 650 ltre tank in it, wondered whether i should just put that in the van with pump, ro etc, or should i just put in tank and pump, and make water in ibc in shed?? What would you recommend?
-
can you explain why a tank wont go into those vans as they can carry a payload of a ton or more and a 650 tank is about 650kilos

Put a tank and di and pump and varistream in the van and make water at home.
-
Thanks, i have got di vessel in trailer already too, i have no idea how to do any of it, i bought trailer ready made, i am not very handy like that, is their anyone in north west could help me or do it for me??
-
It`s easy someone could talk you through it on the phone,you need an elbow on the tank from which you run the hose from tank to pump,you then connect the hose from the other side of the pump to DI vessel.All you need to do then is run hose from the other side of the vessel to the hosereel.You will need a battery in the van which can be split charged or taken in and charge at night,you just need to connect 2 wires from varistream to battery and 2 wires to pump and if using a varistream you will need to cut off the wire used for the pressure switch and that`s it.
-
Its keeping tank in place etc i dont know about? do i need a cage as it isnt in one right now in the trailer
-
I would get a bulkhead for the van and use ratchet straps,most vans if not all have points for strapping some have 4 some have 6 points for this.If you have 4 i would put the tank against the bulkhead and use 2 straps in an X shape over the tank from corner to corner.
-
The new lwb dispatch is the same size as a trafic i think and takes 1200 kg engines up 136bhp, for any details KEV as he has one
-
you guys might find this link usefull ,just type in the make and model and it will give you all dimensions & payloads
-
strange, error message comes up when i put the link in
-
www.whatvan.co.uk/search.asp?setversion=true
-
do you guys leave the van doors open when you are working or do you take the hose reel out?? or is the hose reel bolted inside?
-
ive got one reel inside the sliding door bolted down,i can still close the door and lock it on the secondary latch,
one in the back which can be used in or out the van, for this i drilled a whole in the floor and put some hose connection through the towing eye
-
they off the same pump?? or seperate??
-
there off the same pump ,you can get away with 2 people running at the same time if you have the 5 litre per minute pump
-
actually you can get a 650 tank in an Expert - we have an expert HDI (900kg payload)
full tank of water plus equipment (but no ladders) came in on the weighbridge at 2281kg - gross vehicle weight is 2315kg.

-
The new vans are totally different in payloads,i thought you were originally on about the old version.
-
yes thats what we have - its an 03plate.
new ones have an even bigger payload of 1000kg to 1200kg
-
we have been told that a dispatch or scudo would do it are they the same size as a vivaro
There lying,you cannot put that tank in that size van.
That's funny because i have been using a 650ltr tank in my Despatch for the last eighteen months or more - 900kg payload.

If it`s the old 1 your overloaded.
-
NWH are you thick? I've told you what model it is - told you I have been to the weighbridge with it fully loaded with water and me in it, all equipment etc on board and you still tell me I'm overloaded!!
Fact is a fact - I'm not overloaded, nor is anyone else who has the 900kg+ models.
-
Maybe i`m thick then lol,i`ve been in 1 of them with 650ltrs on board and for a minute i though i was cruising out of Dover docks, i wouldn`t want to be driving 1 of them with that amount of water.
-
I know three users of old shape (07 and earlier) Scudo, Dispatch, Expert Vans and they all have 650L tanks with 900kg payloads.
You do need to be careful if you're two up tho'.

I would buy it!!! You'll never beat a Transporter!

got an expert with 650 litres in it, and i hate it.... it dont pull.... when i brake, i think i may drown.... and when i take a corner i thinks going over....... and i feel sorry for it sat on its arse at the back for two hours until i can relieve some of its load.... poor bugger. ;D ;D
looking for a transit now. ;)
-
You want hdi and a flat tank in one really. Pleased with mine, i wouldn't want the bulk of a Transit or Vivario on my round to be honest.
-
do you guys leave the van doors open when you are working or do you take the hose reel out?? or is the hose reel bolted inside?
both hoses in our van are freestanding, outside ports, take out plug in and walk freely ;)

I rest my case my lud lol. ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
i,ve got a vivaro with a 650 in it and i,m already thinking i should have gone bigger , i use 400 litres a day on average but am thinking of taking someone else on and not sure if the tank gonna be big enough , think i,m gonna invest in an autobrush and see how much that brings down my usage regards alan
-
You might be able to get these tanks in these vans but it`s how they drive,there uncomfortable they handle badly to say the least.I would much rather have a van that carrys the water with ease.
-
ive heard all transits hold 650 with ease as though its not there...
but i may stand to be corrected with transit owners on the forum :)

You plug in a hose reel? and walk round with that??
Sorry if i sound simple, just trying to understand how your doing it, my trailer system has hose bolted in and its a pain having to go opposite the opening of the trailer if that makes sense as you cannot pull hose freely, and its a nightmare to reel back in, have to walk it all back etc...

my mates got 1 fitted in his scudo .

So the simple answer to the question is HDI Despatch, Scudo, Expert. Many on here have them and they are fine. ;)
-
Yes ftp is right. The van site gave me info about my scudo 925kg payload and it was £15,000 when new in 2005. I paid 7k plus from the main dealer, and have had it over a year, still only 27k on clock.
Handles the weight easily on corners etc, and drives like there is no load at all.
The roof is lower than a vivaro or transit which makes ladders less of a struggle, it has two side doors,and is easy to park. This is the perfect van.
