Been out looking at new vans today, prices seem crazy well over 20 grand for a decent sized new van.

I would love one but logic just keeps saying to me dont do it. Probably better off buying an older van and running it till it blows up.

Not looked at them tbf. Seen the combo and berlingo/partner all with 1000kg payload. Around 13k plus VAT

Just worried that a year down the line i might wish i had got something bigger . Would need to be for a 2 man setup.

I guess i might get away with something like the LWB doblo and they seem the cheapest and a bit longer in the back, cheers for that i might go take a look.

Think twice Adam, having  small van definitely limits you in terms of growth.

I had a transit connect, then branched into softwashing and pressure washing, it was then way too small.

Now got a custom, and it’s just the right size, though even with that, I wish I’d had the LWB. Should have bought the custom before the connect.

You just never know when you might want to grow/2 man system.

Always go for the bigger option, the extra room is always handy!

I know, thats my worry. I change my mind a lot so although i dont think i would ever go back to pressure washing etc i could change my mind overnight.  ;D
