i presently have a vauxhall combo & trailer combination, looking to sell the trailer and acquire a second van,
quite like the vivaro but just want to make sure my 600 ltr IBC will fit in & still have plenty of room left for my other gear,
any thoughts appreciated,
thanks.

a 600 litre would easily fit in a vivaro, but depends what other gear you have?
Lee Blastaway has just got a fiat scudo (quite alot smaller than vivaro) and has a 600 ibc fitted snug along with a brendon washer and 50metre hose reel, nice and tidy with a bit of room left for other things.... but it depends what else you carry around

What trailer set-up do you have?



Vivaro easily cope but I would go for a LWB for sure.

i have a bateson plant trailer with cage sides, has a 1000litre IBC and a pressure washer / hotbox in it, i take them out when i'm not using it and store them in the container, the trailer only comes out for gum removal / 2 man jobs, most of my work can be done by one man

Ive tried the 1000ltr tank and pressure washer on trailer on my second van. its a ball ache. in/out of storage.
600 ltr will sit in most mwb vans,  we currently taking an escort van/trailer into an mwb sprinter. including carpet/upholstery equip-dryers-hoses-chemicals. oven cleaning tank-chemicals. 600ltr ibc . honda gd411 derv pressure washer/hoses lances etc, plan it out. we still got the trailer as a back up if stuck.

Definitely go LWB. I was struggling with room in my last van (swb) and just upgraded to a transit LWB. So much room, no need to unpack everything to get things out. Wouldn't go back to a small van unless i was adding it as a second van.

i have two complete set ups which fit ok in my van & trailer but i have picked up more & more commercial work now that i need to run two vans so wanted to make sure the vivaro would cope,
it will be carrying, washer, hot box, gennie, 600ltr IBC, 50mts of h/p hose, 100 foot of water hose, rotary cleaner, plus all the other bit's n bob's, sounds like the vivaro will more than cope, will definitely go for the LWB,
thanks for the replies.

Close, it's a Peugeot Expert.

Anyway job done tonight Lee, going to bed knackered. Removed about 2,000 pieces of gum tonight along M&S up to near Tesco doors. They close at 4 so hit there while it's still light. Work again at 8am!!! I need a holiday!
