To be sure it was b4 the van was done. I've got some Tarmac left from a special job and it would look well on your drive Terry.

I would want at least a good tree mill (3mm) of tarmac on top of my garden to be sure, top of the morning to ya!  ;D

s.w.c

They are original sportline alloys, good for 3 tonne of van.
As to the Tarmac my warranty stands to when my back wheels have left ur drive. ;D

Dazmond i have your dream van  ;D. They are great little vans.

Like you i would like the pure freedom water heater.

As far as a van goes, I would love one of those sporty Transporters, or the Transit sport with the barry boy twin white stripes.


sorry ive got to disagree mine is absolute rubbish i really cant wait to get rid 20mpg ish i hate it its the worst van ever ideal size if you only do windows but crap drive plus with the tank in the back full of water it wheel spins in the wet easy so in the ice its dangerous i want a vivaro crew cab next

MWB low roof transit with twin side doors. Insulated & panelled out, blue protectakote.
Pure freedom 650 flat tank delivery system fitted behind the bulkhead.
Twin electric rewind reels above the tank. Auto layering mechanism and remote control so I can start it winding is as I walk back to the van.
Hot addon (Prob pure freedom) and a frost protection system
DI in the van for the rare occasions I run dry.
External filling port.
Backpack for awkward jobs.
A large bore outlet on the tank with a petrol pump type dispenser for quick filling of the backpack.
Split charger
Solar battery charger (for the times I'm not driving much)
Float valves etc so the tank can fill unattended
NOT A SINGLE HOZELOCK CONNECTOR IN SIGHT!! They just leak too much! John Guest or Rectus 19/26 fittings are all I will use.
Fixed reel system with fairleads in the van somehow.
SLX 22 and SLX 35
No roof rack, no towbar. smallest available triple extension ladder in the van for emergencies only.
Nicely designed pole storage
Everything accessible from the door,.. no climbing in to the van to reach controllers or gear.
Built in storage/shelving for trad gear, spare brushes, bits and bobs.
A spare pump, controller, hose clips, bits of pipe and any tools required to do minor repairs without going home.
A roof vent as condensation could be an issue with waterproofs etc drying in there.
The van would be split in 2,.. the sliding doors would access the wfp gear, but a shelving rack at the back of the tank would separate the back where the pressure washing gear etc would be stored.
Signwriting would be done with a lot more care & professionalism than my current van!
Bluetooth built into the radio is essential
Van tracker installed
Additional lights installed in the back of the van (nothing worse than trying to find something in the near dark)

The static setup at home would be 6 IBC's and a rainwater harvesting system, along with a pumped RO for any dry spells. Float valves etc would be used to stop overflowing & shut off RO when tanks are full. All water would be DI'd before the IBC's and a high power transfer pump would be installed that could fill my tank in 2 mins flat,.. again with auto shutoff when full.


Prob loads more,... I'll add to the list later.

If you have a TDDi that might explain the poor mpg, the TDCi's are better on fuel.
