Im thinking of getting a smaller van as well as my Expert and am considering one of these, they only came out this month:








They are the Citroen Nemo, Peugeot Bipper and Fiat Fiorino. They have a 600kg payload and 2.5 ( 2.8 with the passangers seat down! ) cubic meter load space. It has over 1m between the wheel arches! The Diesel does 64mpg, it also has a sliding door. I would need a 400ltr tank in it.

Basically I would just apreciate anybodies experinces with them or opinions, Luke

No but did you see my post on the new berlingo? It's quite expensive but a stunning 400/500ltr wfp van!

i think you would be getting close to your payload with a 400 ltr tank!  also probably need it upright as floor space is not big.

[Captain Scarlet]

The Payload is exactly 610kg Im sure it would be fine with a 400ltr tank. I have only started to do research on a smaller van so I havent made up my mind yet, but the 64mpg is quite appealing, Luke

[darragh windows]

the new berlingo has a much bigger payload 850 kg i think

could you uprate the suspension to make the payload higher ?

[Captain Scarlet]

Here the new Berlingo, its nice too. Whats the mpg? I dont actually need alot of water in it, only 400ltr, so either would probably be fine, Luke

[JSMC]

new berlingo is lovely

i put heavier shocks in my old 306 it was the worst think id ever done every bump i went over was far to hard and kept have to replace bushes and ball joints from then on i wasnt even carrying water then

i have the old berlingo now with side door and steel bulkhead not as long as the expert poles have to go on the roof in pipe carriers

If you want to keep your options open reference hot allow another 70kg. (Don't forget weight of reel, diesel and passenger).

A 400l has a 1010*1250 footprint. The reel can be mounted and fixed on top of the tank and fed exclusively from the side door. This is a very good working height for a big lad.

Whichever van you get this is a very clever idea because two vans can do more work than one. If you are anything like me you could it out with pump reel and varistream from what you have lying about.

You can also try other ideas and soon have a favourite van which will tell you which ideas are best.

passenger and fuel is already included on the payload

[dd]

Passenger and fuel are not normally counted in payload. From my experience full 400l tank in a 610 kg payload van will take you over the limit.

This is based on mine and a friends vans being checked on a weighbridge.

[macmac]

Been looking at this van today luke & it realy is tiny.


Tony

[Captain Scarlet]

Yeah I know that its tiny. But it has a suprising payload and 2.5 cubic meters loading with over 1m between the arches.....very impressive. I would be using it for a lone operator, Luke

Strangely the one in the top picture called Nemo isn't the orange one...

It was lacking the white strip as well.
