The post from Steve K was actaully August 2005!

Great job P+F. Will you be keeping up with your domestic work or will some have to bite the bullet?

[Davew]

John, what size tank is that? Looks very similar to what I have in mind. How have you mounted it?

[P @ F]

Gonna try to keep it all , but saying that i do have a lot of fools on my round , if they gotta go they gotta go !

Rich P & F what model of Transporter have you got?  I'm after a new van (new to me) in a couple of months and am thinking about a transporter.

Davew
Its a 400ltr tank secured to the floor

[P @ F]

JM123 , i have the 2.5tdi swb 1200 kg payload , if i had to buy again i would go for the more powerful engine , mine is 88 bhp , they do the same van with 103 bhp , the AA took a lot of them so if you dont mind a yellow van then ex AA is the way to go , plenty of service history 

If your not doing big jaunts up n down the motorways then the 88 bhp will be ok .

When i first started i had a transit 100 with a 700 ltr tank.But when i switched over to microbore and varistream i used less and less water so was finishing the day with at least half a tank.I had my vehicle wrote of in November so had a vw transporter  with a 4ooltr tank.And with the biggest commercial job that i do i still only used half a tank so i will now be downsizing as a bigger van can no longer be justified.Cheaper to run and better insurance...oh and i can park it easier.With the 400 ltr tank i an also still get 20 £10 houses in a day so a smaller van is the way forward and im going to go for a vw caddy or a transit connect

Does anyone know of a fairy low van which has two passenger seats? I need to pick the kids up from school hence must have the seats but dont want to be taking a heavy ladder off a high sided vehicle such as a Transit.I know the Toyota Hiace fits the bill but wondered if anyone knew of alternatives (lower the better). Cheers Nick

You would do well to have a search around the link below where you can specify various things such as weight, height, length etc.

I haven't done a detailed search myself but a van I came across with three seats, lowish roof, long length and a really big payload for its size was a Mazda E2200.  I would have bought it but I came across another van which already had a WFP system in it so got that instead.
Another alternative could be to get a higher roofed LWB van with a high shelf which can take a ladder inside.

Thanks Shiner,didnt even realise Mazda did a van. Cheers Nick

 i use a vauxhall movano mwb, i love the extra space and being able to stand up and move around in the back of the van with ease, also less hassel fitting poles in etc.they are such a nice van to drive that i dont realy notice it being much bigger than the swb transit i had before it.

[AuRavelling79]

I got a Fiat Doblo in November 1.3 multijet diesel - 44mpg average round town and 740kg payload (I've got a 400L tank plus backpack in it now) but even with me, a full fuel tank, hose reel and accessories you could go to 500L.

Because it's MVW is exactly 2000kg I can drive at car speeds where the national speed limits apply on both dual carriageways and other roads.

I guess they make the bulbs and subcontract out the rest of the van building work. 

[wimbledonhandyman]

Think of getting one of these window cleaner vans!
