Well its just a van that has been fitted out. Was it done professionally? I would say probably as it was a new van. This looks like a franchised operator who is bailing out. Not done many miles so obviously hasn't had much luck has he?

What's wrong with the people above me. ???

Bargain mate.
The vans worth at least 6 grand, and you're getting a big system as well.

the van looks really smart, but it dont look like the best set up inside. its still worth £6500 just for the van so it dont seem to bad.

I went to look at this van when the previous guy owned it , after driving 150 miles and being told the van was immaculate, it was a real dissappointment when i veiwed it.

The equipment is on its last legs with loads of botched repairs .

The filter system looks ancient and the RO probably is worn out.

All the poles were either taped up or had arildate on the joints.

The poles were also ancient.

The inside of the van was full of rust on the roof and sides

There were tears where the internal racking system had rusted from the cross members on the inside of the roof, looks awful

The back door had rust along the bottom edge and was about 3 inches deep with more bubbling under the paint, it was caused by where someone had obviously whacked the rear bumper causing it to rub when the door was open and shut.

The only good thing about the system is the flat tank , but when full is probably way to heavy for the vehicle.

I never even started the van, i lost interest within 2 seconds of viewing it.

The whole deal also didnt feel quite right the guy wanted £3k up front so he could clear the HP, I wouldnt be suprised if it didnt sell at , maybe it is the same people because the other seller was also long term ill.

Buyer be aware !!!!!!!!!!!!
