I'm just starting within the w/cleaning and c/cleaning and until now used a 4x4 for my work but now I need to get a van for all that gear. The issue that I've got is - either get a smaller van which means saving money and squeeze all the gear inside and the poles on roof or get a bigger one and dump it all inside along with the poles but that would cost me more.
And its not only the cost of the van but also the insurance, fuel, etc that I need to keep in mind.
The only thing that I'm not convinced is to drive around with the poles on the roof - what happens if I leave the car unattended on the street or even under my flat (I have a parking space under my flat) ? Will the poles get nicked?
How do you guys go around that?
The things that I need to squeeze in the van are:
400 litre flat tank (I suppose I could exchange it for an upright one)
+ Resin bottle, battery, reel, 2.4 m pole
Alltec Aqua 40 carpet cleaning machine
+ some bits and bobs
I like the size and looks of the Transit Connect but dont know if I'll fit it all in???
Thanks
