Which van?

[phil w]

Thank Phil. Been looking round and weighing up my options over past few days. For the minimal (hopefully) plastering work I'll be doing, combo/transit connect size seems like my best bet.

used to have a connect company van for 10months nice little motor, was a choice between connect or combo when I got mine came down to price in the end both really good vans either way. little combo 53 plate done 104 thousand miles all over uk and had a spell in holland never let me down yet ( should'nt have said)

Transit connect, excellent weight carriers... had some megga weight in my 59 plate.

i have a transit,i get 8 sheets in diagonally and use the space left to re arrange tools etc

not perfect but its not every day you have to deliver plasterboard so works fine....also have the roof tp use if you want

the connect is a lot taller than the combo,and if you have a roof rack for your boards too you'll struggle to reach, especially if you're a short arse like me

Agree, nothing worse than getting 8x4's on and off on your own (lazy staff at Magnet don't help you but will take your money), broke a full shhet in half the other day as I was lifting it off. And I'm 6ft 2".

My Combo is cramed to the rafters, even the passanger seat and footwell contain boxes of stuff.

i always get mine delivered, my mate works in the local builder centre and i know the driver well so it's never a problem.
