I dont know what everyone else drives :)

But unless you want to carry a ridicuous amount of equipment , you are better with a mid size van- transit, vivaro etc

I had a second hand one. Extra high roof. Ladders inside. Loved it.

After 8 weeks the engine blew, ended up as scrap as the cost of relacement engine was stupid.

Avoid.

Agree, they are a big van, do you need that much space?

Im also looking at a combo too but im going to be employing one extra man in the coming months so was looking for a three seater...

Whats the legal regulations for turning a panel van into a crew van does anyone know?
I was thinking of attaching one extra row of seats in back and might get the side door glazed!

surely not on the council estates? with a big movano  it must look like the big boys have arrived to replace the windows

Try a Peugeot Boxer High roof MWB - from 2008 onwards - they look modern and drive great - even with a ton of water in the back!

Hi Danny, Yes I have a Movano. It is 10 years old and has a few war wounds but starts every time, doesn't cost too much to run and I can fit the world and his dog in there. Got a 1000 litre tank, and can fit all my other stuff in- big gutter vac with all fittings, large pressure washer, rotary cleaner, triple ladder, etc etc etc.
If you are looking for a big van, they are worth a try.
