I have 1 a the moment the new LWB version,i`m changing soon but let me tell you it`s massive inside compared to other van sizes in it`s class.I have a 500ltr upright in it and it hardly takes up half the room in the back,like i say great van for it`s size.

I've got a Berlingo, and while it doesn't fit a lot, it fits a 400-500l upright, with hosereel, DI vessel, safety cone, and traditional box, and a big Unger bucket. I'm working from it every day, and I'm quite happy with it for a one man business.

If I'd buy a new van, I'd buy a bigger one though. :)

You can't be serious? it's bigger than the previous model & is ample for a 4/500 ltr set up! What do you carry? I have a kangoo, one of the smallest (small) vans out there & with a 400 lay flat tank in it, + all trad gear too, there's still plenty of room! :o

Ever considered the citroen dispatch, they also do a longer version too, upto 1200kg payload.

Horses for courses,if that van is big enough for you all well and good Tony but it`s not big enough for me.I want a bulkhead at the front to keep away from smells etc and i also want plenty of room so i can just lay or hang poles in the back with room to spare,i don`t want to make the same mistake again of not having enough room.Better to be slightly to big than slightly to small in my book.
