Newbie Advice Needed!
« on: November 13, 2013, 08:46:09 am »
Alright everyone, been looking around for a van with a system to start me off for ages and I've seen a couple I quite like the look of on eBay, one looks like a bargain to me so I don't understand why it's not selling as its been relisted twice so far with the price dropping each time. Just want experienced people's advice to see if there good value for money, which one they would pick etc, etc

Thanks in advance Jimmy  ;)

I'd go for the Astra bud.
£4k cash though. £5k seems a bit pricy...

Out of the 2 I'd have the combo, better quality equipment on board although the mileage would be too high for me

Astra van more of a pain to work out from IMO

The combo is very clever set up

Quote

All you have to do is press a button on the controller to fill the tank The tank will fill and will poop off the water. Unplug in the morning from the van under ports and go ( saves me a job )

For a serious 1 man day you'll need 400 ltrs 350 will mean running pretty low towards the end of the day

Cheers for all the input guys, glad to see some of the comments are the things I was thinking, shows I'm learning something. Shame I can't take the milage off the Astra an put it on the combo. Much appreciated  :)

One of my mates has a 2001 transit only done 85,000 miles, 400 litre pure freedom delivery system and a static pure freedom system with 1000l ibc tank (approx 2 months old)! He is looking for around £3,700

This is a much better deal.

You might get a load of impact 43 stuff chucked in too. More cones and ticker tape than you'll know what to do with
