Personally I wouldn't have anything less than a 500L tank and a van long enough to fit poles in without cutting into the bulkhead.

Connect L2 240 is my perfect van.

A Berlingo has a bigger payload and is longer so would be even better.

Berlingo/Proace City has a clever panel behind the passenger seat that allows longer loads to fit with the seat folded down. Long poles can fit through with the right size tank. The tank I have I fitted long ways to allow enough room for this.

Price of new vans is getting ridiculous

Couple of years ago you could get a doblo for 13k plus vat they are now 20k plus VAT

Ban able offence.

Personally, I think that’s one step beyond.

Really glad I don't know any madness songs.

Thankfully the 80s was before my time

Worst era in music ?

I think these 2 are interesting/good choices for window cleaning .I know they would be for me and the majority that don't travel to much . Rather this than a diesel one , not that I'm against it it's just o hear so many with issues with Dpf's , Egr's , Ad blue , injectors .

I decided to carry on with my vivaro for another year after all the dosh I spent on it, 80,000 miles on the clock, I had a look at a few vans, my fav would be peugeot partner seem slightly cheaper than citreon, there are some cheaper electric vans out there but  seems a bit of a gamble dont know any other windys with one.

We’ve got 10 vans in the company and the smaller vans seem to more prone to things going wrong.

Especially brakes, steering and suspension.

I’d rather have a 500L tank in a transit compared to say a connect.

Surprised at the price of that 1st one , much cheaper than i expected for electric, not that ive done any research. My worry with electric is the amount of water that gets sloshed about over the course of the vans life, the battery compartment would need to be 100% watertight.

I'm still on the original brake pads on my connect and it's 7 years old in January.only things I've replaced is 2 front tyres and got it serviced every year.

The batteries are sealed away. Not sure about the Chinese jobs in the links but the European ones I've had, it hasn't been an issue.

With the cost of new vans more than doubling over the last 8 years, adding the cost of installing our water systems, it's more economical to take the hit on van repairs and maintenance.   Once all done, it will last many more years providing you service it regularly and check oil and coolant levels once a month.

My van I bought 8 years ago for 15k plus vat new, would now cost me 35k.

We check everything once a week and service every 6 months.

Thats overkill if you only do 3k miles a year like me.serviced once a year and MOT.top up washer fluid and check oil/water once a month.
