Which Size Van?

[focusphil]

!..I'm going for a Ford Ka Van with a roof rack..!

Small 'n' nippy, good on fuel, ins, road tax (I think), you can fit in a garage with all the expensive tools in it, e.g PAT tester. With the tube thingymebob and ladders on the roof rack. Perfic..!

Have a good breakfast,there wont be any room for your lunch box !!

"Parkinson's Law - tools expand to fill the space available"

I've had the lot over the years and JUST bought a 2nd hand Nissan Navara pickup because I got tired of not having room in the front OR the back. Fab so far but I'm sure it'll be wrong somewhere. Point is, ANY van is a compromise in one sense or another nd you'll need to find the right balance between size, utility, cost, comfort....etc. Everyone will have a different opinion!

I had a Renualt Trafic but recently sized down to a VW Caddy. Wish I had done it years ago!
Better on fuel and there is plenty of space if you keep things tidy!

Depending on what "making good" you'll do, you may need to accomodate plasterboard sheets on occasion.

Yer as i found out when i needed 4 sheets of plasterboard that wouldnt fit in my Nissan vanette had to get a mate with a transit to get them and pay him !
