Which van and WFP system is best?
« on: February 04, 2012, 03:56:55 pm »
Hi

I'm planning on upgrading to a van with a WFP system in it. :)

But there so many vans and WFP systems to choose from and i can't decide what to go for. ???

Any advice will be appreciated

Many Thanks

if you work on your own mate and always intend to their is not much point in going for a large van , its far cheaper going for a diy system which will leave you more money to invest in a decent van .

I manage with a 400 ltr flat tank along with the streamline pump box . MIKE

pure freedom trolley with extension hose.a few barrels.

350-400l tank/ratchet straps

100m of microbore and lightweight reel

25ft SLX with aqua-daptor/sill brush

£1300-£1400 for everything.


you can then bring trolley inside on cold nights,use it for some awkward work and take it out of van if its off the road and put it into a car to keep you working if need be with a couple of barrels.

as for a van kangoo,connect,berlingo,doblo etc would be fine if your a sole trader with no plans to employ.

My advice is dont get a trolley cos you will eventually regret it and get a van system , dont get a small van sole trader or not cos you will upgrade eventually. If i was in your position i would get a scudo/expert/dispatch or a hiace or a transit hopefully with system already in there but if not then take to pure freedom and have a day out in cleethorpes/grimsby. Minimum tank size 500ltr , ideal 650ltr. You wont look back. simples ;)
