Dog van

[jazz0273]

You can Get A VW caddy 4 motion (4x4) and also some one else mentioned 4x4 berlingo which they have stopped making now but they do a Berlingo XTR which is raised up and got traction control which will get you most places! I have got a Transit AWD which goes most places

fuel tank holds approx 50 litres and i get anywere between 450-600 miles depending on how i drive, but would average it at about 550 miles per fill. lol the breakkie was a bit 'dry' i mean were the hell were the beans,toms and black pud!! taps?? mind craig the beds were comfy, nice linnen.

Yeah that is true but the bath taps where missing in action lol.Had to use lond nosed pliars to turn the taps and buy a bath plug at the hardware shop lol. The meals at the Friars carse was great.

love this idea. Always wanted a van.
I thought that because they are commercial vechicales the insurance was mega expensive. ?

Any thoughts

Insurance isn't bad at all. I pay about £450 a year for mine, fully comp including for business use. Road tax can be more; I used to pay as much for the weeny corsavan as for the VW caddy but a corsa car would have been less. It also costs more to use the dartford and severn crossings (even in a small car derived van such as the corsa) but not the m6 toll (zoom zoom!)

I think £450 sounds a lot for a van, I only pay £320 for my Jaguar and that includes business use as well, my dog travels in style .

[vicky payne]

I suspect your jag is older and worth less than my van? I have never found van insurance to be more expensive than a car of equivalent age/value. I am due to renew and have quotes as low as £350 but they don't include some bits of cover I need.

That has been of flea bay for ages, I have never seen this van but wonder why ?

I have just had the Transit off hired and replaced with a 62 plate partner, one thing I need to do now is maximize the space as I have been spoilt with the Transit. My lintran has a sloping front and takes up too much room, so I will be looking for another box or cage to replace it with. Tonight I have removed the mesh bulk head from behind the drivers seat as I could not get far enough back to make it comfy, spot on now though. The average mpg I am getting is around 44 mpg loaded up with dog and works stuff.
