Im taking over my mum and dads window cleaning business in September this year and really dont like the idea of (me a woman) driving a trailer, so im looking into getting myself a little van something maybe like a EXPERT or PARTNER big enough for my w.f.pole to go in the van not on top.
I have not a clue what price range for second hand I can expect to pay.
As cheap but good as I can get would be good to start with as am starting out on my own after being at home for 3 years being a mummy now with more free time on my hands I want to get out there and be a working mum not like some that never work cos its easier to claim benefits.
Anyone with advice on where to look or what one to look for o even if you have one going for sale I would really love to hear from you.
P.s please dont suggest e-bay as wouldnt entertain it van wise im no good and couldnt face buying something and 2 months later it fals apart.
Kind regards

If you are like me , you need to get him to sign over the business before you make the changes ! I can get you a list of nice retirement homes if you like 

[MissyShell]

Hes my dad.

i just had a quick look

//search.autotrader.co.uk/es-uk/www/vans/advert+search/N-0,Ne-7-8-27-64-105-133-146-236/advert.action?R=200823311527658&distance=44&postcode=sy10+0hp&channel=VANS&make=&model=&min_pr=&max_pr=&max_mileage=

cheap as chips they are, although that is a 600, mines a 800, , meaning its payload, 800 kg

cheap to run, £70 to fill it, 550 miles to a tank loaded up, probably more if you didnt carry what i do

First of all, good on you   do you have a budget in mind for a van ? if you do it will be easier for any of us to help you more.

I'm not dead yet Jonah  

Shell is having my round, all my gear, I'm doing her water and battery for her so I'm not buying her a van as well  

She's been wfp for a couple of months now and I can let her get on with one house while I do the other, so come September she'll be ready to go it aloan.

I will still be doing the odd Jobs with her and I will build up the guttering and conservatory side of the business.

Good on you Jeff  , where is your van ? could you not let her have that (at value) and get another yourself.

I am well impressed with your girl, good on her and good on you aswell

Ian, I hate vans 
I have always used a Trailer, I offered her that, but it takes skill to drive a trailer unlike a van were you point it in the direction you want to go.
