Anybody got one of these vans …..any good?  and will it take a 350 tank . Might be a nice little addition but been stung with french vehicles before

Is there enough room for poles inside?

I believe the payload is 610kg so you would have 260 for driver etc

I think it depends on which bulkhead by the looks of it.

You can always carefully cut a hole but a long pole might intrude into the front compartment?

I think I would only have one for specific reasons...

1. A pool vehicle
2. A round with lots of tight parking.
3. Sole op semi retiring wanting a run around vehicle as well as a few hours window cleaning.

As a sole trader working four days plus I suggest a Doblo size with a 400/500L as a minimum.

That’s exactly what it’s for really. For my other half that I only want to work 4hrs day
Back up vehicle I have 2 others . I just know we will get through the work quicker if we are all on our own .

I have the Fiat Fiorino with a 350 in it , it handles it well but does sit low at the start of the day .
With regard to poles , I have the metal frame bulkhead and I carry  an SLX18 , Xtreme 25 and an SLX 35 , they just fit but do go all the way into the cab but don’t get in the way.
If I was buying again though I would go Doblo for that little bit more

I had this van with a 350 tank installed right by the  bulkhead.
I had to upgrade my spring coils at the rear axel  to heavy duty ones which were custom made.
It just looked awful with a full tank,looked liked you were doing a permanent whellie.
Good little van after that,sorry I sold it.
I put holes through the bulkhead for poles.

Yeah thought that might be the case. Will probably not need to fill it to the top most of the time. Did you have the tank caged ? Was there room on the floor pan to bolt it down on the 350 ? Found a really clean little van so I’m hoping !

K Systems fitted a 350 tank and frame,plenty of room for reel and bucket etc.

That’s a great set up mark . Your obviously a dab hand at welding and doing bits yourself . I did take one for a spin and they are nippy little things that seem well put together .
Did you fabricate a tank case yourself or can you buy them like that and is it bolted down somehow ?

You said the tank was just under 400L? Got an exact figure?

From comments I think it was a custom made tank. There a couple of companies that will make tanks, this is one I found https://www.toolcraft.co.uk/plastic-fabrication/window-cleaning-systems/wfp-tanks.htm not cheap at all but gives you an idea?
