Transit custom

Thinking about investing in a Transit custom, anyone using one at the moment? How are you finding it?
Struggling to fit everything in the Peugeot Partner now, gutter vac, pressure washing gear, I've outgrown it!

My one worry is that a majority of my work is residential and wondering if I'll have much trouble fitting it in to spaces.

Are you serious?

It's a van not a lorry  ;D

I am 95% domestic and never once had a problem with parking.

I have a long wheel base van, it was hard parking in tight spaces to begin with but you get use to it and after a while don't think nothing about squeezing in tight spaces ;D

I know where you are coming from with regards to parking but i went from a combo to a transit custom. It's easier to park custom. Even more so with sensors and a camera  ;D

I have a Transit Custom. I love driving it. I'm as happy driving it as my wife's much more expensive car. I reckon you need something bigger with a gutter =vac though. I'm sure lots of people will tell me I'm wrong though.

Looking back the lwb and maybe the semi high top would have been a better option but i hated the looks of the semi high top.

Ideally i didn't want to drive something i thought was ugly.

I get the gutter vac and all components in the partner but it's a tight squeeze  :)

Hi Harry, glad your happy with your new Custom, I'm thinking of maybe getting one later this year, just wondering what size
Custom you bought plus payload, i have an older T230 lwb connect with 500 litre tank, plus occasionally take out a Skyvac,
but seriously thinking of going for a bigger van.
