I LOVE my Van !
« on: May 25, 2007, 08:57:52 pm »
For anyone that’s thinking of having a truck mount I can highly recommend the Vauxhall Vivaro van to carry it in.

The best model to go for is the LWB , because of the extra carry capacity ( 1200 kg)

Its just that bit smaller than the transit which means that it will fit just about anywhere !

I have not yet come across a drive that I couldn’t get onto, its low enough to even fit on multi storey car parks but its got enough room inside for a truck mount, portable, air mover , scrubber tool and all of the other bits that we need to carry every day !

They drive like a car, and will do 35 mpg knocking around local.

I LOVE MINE !

regards

Chris

Chris would you do me a favour and measure the inside of your van floor, I want the length and the height as that van could be my next.

Thanks Shaun

I have a Renault Traffic swb and though lovely to drive and economical, i find it a bit on the small side for all the gear carry plus having a low roof makes it very difficult to clean the waste tank out of a truckmount prpoerly so will be proberly be looking at the Renault master next time.
