Great to hear you turned a profit in your first year. Not many turn a profit due to all the expenses in a first year of trading.

Its not about the cost because insurance will pay out but about the inconvenience. I think you have to wait 6 weeks before the insurance will pay out. My insurance up in June and will be adding a replacement van on it so I can continue to work if the unpleasurable act ever happens to mine.

 Cheers Colin. Yup, outlay/expenses has been vastly more than anything for one year in the UK.

Second hand window cleaning equipment is worth next to nothing.

Theres not really a massive market where they can get rid of it quickly either.

I think your hot water system is safe for now.

My van sits unlocked outside my house all the time. No ones ever stole a thing.

Theres always atleast 1 ladder on the roof rack too. Theres no clamps on my roof rack. All your have to do is lift it off and it would be away. No ones ever touched that either.

That’s it, been trading a full year now in Canada.

And I’ve made a profit equivalent to £4,500  ;D

Well done mate any plus is a step in the right direction,especially with what you’ve outlaid

I have had mine from new, never let me down. Definitely an advantage not having dpf, add-blu and lots of other technology I do not want and only gives more potential problems.

Hoping to keep it on the road another 2 years, currently 162k on clock.

My dispatch is 20 years old. Passed MOT last month. All it needed was a side light bulb replacing.

Mine is 15 years old, still in very good condition and it's never missed a beat in the six years I've owned it

Far easier to sell a van without a window cleaning system installed.

I don't think there is much of a market for selling used window cleaning systems separately  either.
