dont know depends on what is meant by everything included.. have you shopped around with other installers?

best van you'd need one with at least 600kg payload and large enough to fit it all in with additional equipment you may need

depends on how good you are at wfp, how dirty the windows/frames are etc..

I've got a 1.3 Fiat Doblo with 400L on board. It's payload is 736Kg and rarely I take an extra 50L in barrels in case I run low on water. I have used this van for three years now and am very pleased with it. It has the volume for a gate ladder inside and trad gear too. (Not ladders tho)

It is just enough for a totally wfp, mainly domestic, one man only experienced operator IMO if he uses a flow controller of some sort. I also wipe lower cills rather then waste water blasting them out with water.

If you are a two person team working from the same van then you need 650L minimum and 1000kg payload minimum IMO.

If you do get some occasional big commercial (eg flats/school) then add a trailer with 250 or 400L on board for those odd days you need the extra capacity.
