[luther1]

I've a T30 with a 650 Ionics in the back. Pulls like a train.

[bentsbrook27]

t30 1200 payload i think this would be enough especially to bring price down with new 2.0 tdi

[dd]

Don't see what payload has to do with clutch problems

yeah but youre not a vw van salesman  :

Scudo's as you must know, have two side doors.Mines a two man 800l with 2.4m ladders inside the roof.The dash is poor.

Ducatto's are good, is this too big?

[Jimmy Jon]

Transporter all day long if you can afford it, you wont regret it, I've got a T4 van and a T5 174BHP minibus - quality build and stylish work horse 

[brianbarber]

Affordability

Scudo cheaper option, but the transporter is the apple mac choice

Vw all day long

[jr windows]

I've got a T30, what water tank

[Clive McDonald]

I've got the scudo, the imac, the macbookpro, and the mac air.So how does that work?

It's about payload, number of doors, how many crew, and parkability.

If you want a compact two man op with ladders inside scudo lwb, if you want something bigger get it.The vw is a vanity purchase.

[Ryan @ Transparent, Carlisle]

vw all the way if finances allow

Slumps, which tank/system do you have fitted in the Scudo? I want to change vehicles soon and want the same "capability" as you have in the scudo- around 800 litres and two man set up with ladders inside. Is there still enough room for other gear like a pressure washer or guttervac? Cheers. Also, are the running costs ok?

[Clive McDonald]

there is room yes.Remember i have a long wheel base high roof scudo with a 1200 payload.

The 2.4m ladders fit inside the roof.A three section ladder is split into one bit and two bits.A couple of poles go up there too.

The tank is skid mounted and pro installed.It's high and my(two) reels are mounted off the cross bars that support the ladders(installed by tank fitters).Because it's high you get more floor space, and can use the last drops of water when it runs low.

It does pitch a bit as you drive but i don't find this a problem.

There is room at the back of the van but mine is full of junk because i'm untidy.

It's good having the ladders inside the van because when i used a roof rack they came off a couple of times.

I do think the twin doors is a very good way to work.If i worked out of one door i would look at those stacking reels Alex has.

The other vans to consider are a vivaro type( a version with a high payload), a ducatto, or a transit.

The Toyota Hiace has a similar payload and is a excellent van.

Slumps, if you want to move your business forward and be the best you need a VW Transporter, not some Italian thrown together toy van, you disappoint me, I thought you were better than that. 

[alanwilson]

we have an older shape expert (same van as a scudo) and a 174bhp transporter - the transporter is a good van but when things go wrong they are expensive to fix.
