Curious to know if it is feasible. They have a handy flap in the bulkhead.

I have the Peugeot Partner version with the bulkhead flap. Unfortunately my 400 lts upright tank covers it completely!
Any questions just ask.

[DJW]

Just wondering if you can get your poles inside without cutting the bulkhead. I doubt mine would fit without the flap. Tank strapped or caged?

[Ched]

I have 2 gutter downpipes that go from rear doors over the 400 litre vertical wydale tank through an additional hole cut through the bulkhead. They then go into the overhead shelf above the windscreen, they don't reduce the head height very much at all.
I have attached a couple of images to give you a better idea:

I've had 1 for the last month, got a 350 tank, works well but it'll you want to carry gutter vacs etc it will be very tight for space.
I only do window cleaning so I'm happy.
But the next size up eg expert or dispatch would be great 👍

Dont the poles fit in the back diagonally without  going through bulk head, I've always had vivaro, but think my next van will be a berlingo if it can do the job

They do a long wheel base Berlingo now they look far better than before as far as looks and interior goes.

The only difference between the SWB and the LWB is about 350mm in length. Interior options and features are  exactly the same on both.

30’ Extreme fits diagonally in SWB easily. Longer poles go through the flap dead easy so long as the tank isn’t too wide.
Very impressed with the drive but costs way more than my first house 😮

I have an older model but  the boot is pretty much the same dimensions as my friends 2022 model.
I have it fitted out so that battery, DI vessel, pump are accessible from the side door. Also a drawer with “stuff” in slides out. The gutter vac pipes and hose fits here too. Tank sits securely mid back. I fit a folded ladder on top of the tank. At the rear atom gutter vac sits nicely in one side and 3D power reel the other.
Poles: 35 sits drivers side goes through to bulkhead and my every day 22 pole slots into a wire bracket sitting above reel base sits near side door.
Yes it’s packed but all accessible, balanced and within payload.
I find it a nice size van. If it fits in all I need why have a bigger van so it’s “airy” for my gear
Sorry I can’t put pictures up atm van in the shop.

Why have a bigger van you say when you’ve had a medium sized van  and a smaller van you know why,nothing wrong with the van you’re on about but my advise would be get a van as big as you can within reason ie a medium.
Keep filling a small van with 4-500 litres every morning you’ll kill it within no time tyres and suspension etc need replacing in half the time if you do 50-60 miles a day like I do.

[DJW]

I do less than five miles a day!

You’re talking nonsense. My leased berlingo went back last month, 3 years old, 36k miles so roughly 50 miles a day. Front tyres were changed at 22k, rear tyres were changed around 30k. Van still drove like the day it left the factory despite having 450 litres in the back every morning.

Stop making assumptions and passing them off as fact.

[DJW]

I don’t think NWH realises that some of the ‘small’ vans have grown a bit over the years. The newer Dispatch vans are quite close in size to a fourteen year old VW these days. Berlingo isn’t that far behind with 1000kg payload. Pretty amazing for a ‘small’ van.

[DJW]

Deegee, have you put a towbar on any of yours?
Looks like the new ones already have one built in with electrics too? Tried googling but can’t pick up much information.
Definitely some kind of socket pre fitted under the bumper.

[NWH]

Yes I realise the newer vans have better payloads etc you’ll need it if you’ve just had an electric reel fitted like I have,Eddie Hall asked me if he could practise lifting it in and out of my van the other day in preparation for having to lift huge balls of granite.

No never needed a towbar. Mines a 21 plate and havnt noticed anything, I’ll take a look tomorrow.
