What do you think to the washer?
Have you had many jobs for it?

Would getting storage be any cheaper than getting a larger van?
I've seen Renault traffics for about £3,000

i see a pressure washer which is un fixed has a bit of eye candy for any mag pies, storage is good has it will always come in handy but a bigger van is good too.

i just wouldnt keep everything in my van

I just havent the room to keep alot of my kit in the house. I thought a shed would be easier access to theives as a couple of neighbours have had their sheds broken into.

I've had a look at some VW Dispatch's and Peugeot Experts but the floor area isn't that much bigger than the escort.
Thought about a Renault Traffic, Vauxhall Vivaro or the Nissan Primestar.

3seats and 2 sliding doors

Ive just got an expert. The floor space may not be much bigger, but the height can be used well. Think about it.

looks like you need to watch the weight in the back of that van, easy to go over and the result could be a major fine. Certainly better to have a larger van, so you don't go over the limit, as well as having more room.

I picked it up off ebay, £240 including cost of picking it up. I was told it was from the USA.
It does a fantastic job, I also have a 24ft telescopic lance to go with it, the lance was £150.
