I'm after a new van, my one is on its last legs, and was after some advice.

Don't want to spend more than 2 grand, i'm after a small van which can comfortably fit and carry a 250 litre tank plus the rest of my gear.

I've haven't really got much idea, just would like something i can get a few years out of and not have to spend a small fortune on repairs. Any tips would be appreciated.

Thanks

Citroen Despatch are a good little van

peugeot expert r gd as well  loads off room and u could up grade your tank to a 350 if you want

I would recommend the VW Caddy vans we have 2 and they have been great and very easy to get parts for.

you guys with 250 tanks and 350 is that enough water

how many hours do you work if you dont mind me asking a day

only when i get a van i want 650 minimum as i reckon i will easily use 500 most days and then some for big days or a helper

[windiewasher]

350 litres is enough for 15 to 20 houses!

you can get a 500l in a transit connect easily, they drive nice and cheap tax

[dazmond]

you wont get a decent  connect though for 2 grand or a dispatch/scudo etc.


get a kangoo.very cheap plus you can fit 250L TANK and trad gear in the back.

mines a 625kg payload and carry 250-300L A DAY /trolley/ladders etc

i clean 20-30 small 3 bedders with this amount and still come back with half a barrel or so!

i do trad the odd ground floors on the occasional property though.

i just got a very nice lwb t230 for £2600, so if you only need a small tank then a swb t200 will be fine and i fyo ulook around you will be able to get on for £2000ish, but look for private sellers not the traders that are on auto trader.

Ive got a 2002 citroen distpach for sale - full history , long mot and tax till next year ( jan i think ) 108000 mls serviced on the button , never let me down in 6 years .

i carry a 400ltr upright in it no problems - been a great van and still used today

got mesh bulkhead and plylined and insulated - even got drainpipe pole carrier's

gav CCC will back me up on a good van it is - not in a hurry to sell as it looks nice next to my new MERC vito lwb lol - but 2K and it can go

pic on www.jsmcleaning.co.uk

but if you want a NICE van and can find another 4k - the merc vito LWB 2.2 turbo is soooo sweet - go's like stink ( had to back off at 110mph ) on a test track of course ...
