Title: Van opinions
Post by: davep on August 19, 2008, 07:43:48 pm

Just wondering what type of vans you run.

Loads of similar types like Renault trafic, Peugeot Boxer, Merc vito, Vw transporter.

Looking to get something to put a Prowler in, any suggestions?

Dave ,

plenty of vans that will take the prowler, but my advice is go for one larger than you think you may need.
never enough room for what you want to pack in, and their is nothing worse than clambering around in a cluttered van :P

I know the prowler does nt need a waste tank so some space saved there, but unless you relying on a garden hose tap you will need a clean waater tank. They take up fair bit of room.
Also consider times you take a rotary or even your true portable (Prowler heavy), plus all your hoses, wand, vac cleaner, tubs of this and that, sprayer(s) etc.

Sprinter ok but Vito not so good apparantly.

LWB VW Transporter

Good payload - good length - good build quality
Drives like a car - auto box - electric windows

Get in it after a hard day, stick it in drive and it takes me home in comfort  8)
