nope, i got a mwb master that can hold 1300 ltrs (2 x 650ltrs joined up)  and most importantly legally weight wise.
it currently has only got 1x 650ltr tank in it , guttervac, jetwasher , Conny ladders inside too  etc etc

This is our first clean, big clean van and serves its purpose nicely indeed,
our smaller van ( renault traffic does maintenance cleans also carrying 650 ltrs)
and i do the first cleans, oneoffs etc in the big van.

SWB SPRINTER SHOULD CARRY A 1000LTRS.

yes too big IMO but prob what u will need to carry weight of water legally and safely 

[david thomas]

vw all the way 

[Susan Dean (1stclean)]

vw all the way how ever if your lookinf to buy secondhand the best for weight is an ex rac van , transit swb, 330 ,2.4 rwd they have all the toys in and  one of the biggest weight carrying vans out there

Peugeot Boxer MWB - High Roof - you can't go wrong.

[Simon@ Clearview contractors]

I like my new shape tranny Richy, and prefer the LWB to the MWB I had last time(more room for extra gear).

And the road tax is half price even though it's a T350 2.4TD

Don't get another van just yet mate get rid of all the crap work then wait until after winter to see if you still need another van.

You need at least 1300kg capacity for two men and 1000 litres IMO.

This means only the very top end transporter (weightwise) will do so it's a crafter.

If you are prepared to go with 800L which should suffice in most circumstances then you can go with the 1200kg/1100kg scudo/transporter/transit etc.

Get a sprinter mate best van on the road I've got two both with 1000 litre tanks and they cope very well also a better size to have 3 men working out it.  The mwb is best

[richywilts]

do mercedes actually make the van or just badge it coz i think its the same van as the vw grafter

[thermoclean]

It is slightly different but shares many parts the new shape crafter looks the dogs

My Ford Ranger carries 1200kg and apart from the lack of extra space you get with a large panel van is versatile and easy to navigate around obstacles.
