What's the perfect Van for Electricians? And what Van do you have? If you have them, please attach pictures to your reply. :) We loooooove the pics!
 
Pug Expert 2009 model..

seems ok to me at present and i thrash it every where!! my berlingo 2006 model died after i recreated a scene from titanic when i went down a farm road and ended up knee deep in water with ice bergs floating past me...!! (january 2011) just after the really bad snow and ice lol...!

luckily i drove outteh other side but within 2 weeks it cost me just shy of 1k in repairs!! :( gulp..!
 
I've just replaced my 1999 Smiley transit for a 2003 Fiat Ducato 2.0litre JTD and I'm loving it, the drive is awesome and talk about storage space. Also, being on the shorter side I can very nearly stand up fully in the back lol

The only downfall is parking it in places. Due to it being wider than a car when reverse parking it you lose sight of the vehicle behind. Until I purchase some reverse sensors I'm just going to have to wait for the "Nudge" to let me know that I'm too close lol

I'll post up some pictures once I've taken some:thumbsup
 
yeah i used the nudge trick in my new van as well...!! nudged a nissan micra at 5mph!! no damage to me but massive dent in door of micra...!! unfortunately it was dark and the street was too packed with cars to park up and tell some body!! oh well... unsign written van as well at time..!! lol
 
Vauxhaull Combo is ideal for inspection and smaller jobs. A side door is a must. It's not to high either if your of the vertically challenged type.

Its just cost me ÂŁ120 for one of those little nudges at xmas. Police went into wholesalers with my reg number looking for van. Apparently someone drove past and saw me reverse into a punto. No damage to van and didn't know id done it. :(
 
But that's why they're called BUMPERS and RUB strips isn't it lol

Actually, I DON'T use this method at all... Unless I'm parking outside my own house and it's my Wife's car that I'm reversing up to ;)

:thumbsup
