Hi spark

I have a Hiace swb with a 500l tank inside and still have lots of room. Dont think you need a lwb imo.

Bloody good vans.

Spark i agree with Bod on Toyota i have 2.

03 88bhp swb runs like a dream, cost almost nothing mechanical, last service approx previously no work has been required. This vehicle is out 5 days aweek with 700l system & 2 men. Its never broke down in over 5 years, also the system is a Tucker & that only has resin & has had i pump & i p/swicth.

07 120 bhp swb is realy good, got cheap as ex demo, almost new. this we,ve had i year with Brodex 650, this system has played up but, going n/week to have fixed under warranty.
This realy fast & very smooth, electric windows, cent locking, cd etc. Its like driving a car.

Fuel is approx 32 - 35 fully loaded,which is reasonable, some fords are less than 25, & you have peace of mind that you turn the key & of you go, not all vans give you that.

Swb or lwb, you save approx 2k on new ones going for swb, the only down side is that you reqyuire a pole carrier for bigger poles, i use the large on 4m for 60ft poles.

Main dealer servicing is very reasonable compared to fiat, citroen.

Hope this helps.
