I use a Transit LWB Hi Top.....Loads of room for tools and easy loading...one retailer I use just forklifts the pallets straight on. Loads of space for signwriting which I am having done soon. | ||||||||||

VW T4 Transporter, not too big, not too small. You can get an 8 foot by 4 foot sheet of ply in the back, even on a swb. Smaller than a transit, good for getting up domestic driveways. Pretty reliable, although can be fairly expensive 2nd hand compared to other vans of the same age. We use a transit also but I much prefer the VW. Transits also not that reliable. I have a friend who services a fleet of 50 plus transits and as he puts it, anything that spins round on a transit soon wears out or breaks!! | ||||||||||

I got an old "R" Berlingo and it's been great so far. I just started another thread this afternoon coz I am looking for another, larger van now, with 4 seats. Pretty set on a VW transporter kombi, but will need to shop round for best deals. | ||||||||||
