If it was me I would be looking at the combo or even better the connect crew. As van is to small and I have never seen a crew astra. Take a look for a mobility van they are a better and can go quite cheap.

Hi mate, yea all from canvassing 2/3 of us going out 3 eves a week 6-8pm Cold dark evenings are the best for canvassing as can see who is in and also can easily spot the dirty houses. I have been lucky this month, im just realy hungry for it at the mo more than ever before.

Anyone can do it, just need the motivation and the eye of the tiger.   ;)

Started with an astravan for windows. I wanted it because i thought it was more car like.

Only had a 250L tank but felt that it was pushing the vehicle and I knew the weight was there. Was annoying climbing in because of the low roof.

My advise is get something a little more box shaped and possible a higher capacity.

Cheers Mick,
I thought there must be a few of you doing it as that is some good going. I agree you just have to give it a go, youve inspired me to go out earlier in the year than i was going to (dark nights etc).

Eye of the Tiger fella  :)

Cheers
