Advice on what tiling van to purchse

[mac mclaren]

Afternoon all im just looking for some advice on what van i should get for my tiling. Should it be a FORD Transit or a FORD connect size van. Im more swung towards the Transit size as this will enable me to store Plywood and backer boards if required on jobs. As im inexperianced how often will i have to supply the ply? Will the connect do with a roof rack? I have set aside around £4000 for this.

Im also thinking is it worth wile getting my Part P electrical domestice fitting certifict to enable me to wire underfloor heating without having to pay for a sparky. Also gives the advantage of moving wall sockets in the kitchens. As im in the armed forces at the moment i can get the courses through them.

Your thoughts on this would be much appreciated

Always go for a bigger van if funds will allow, essential for size and also how much weight can be carried.

Anything that fits 8x4 sheets in it should be dandy.

Full size Transit, 100%. Whatever you do, do not, I repeat DO NOT get one of those horrible Vauxhall/Renault/Nissan monstrosities (no offence to those people who couldn't afford a Transit :lol🙂

I've taken offence :lol: My Vivaro is the best in the world and it's yellow and well cool and that :lol: Oh, by the way, the mitre whizz is pants and nothing more than a gimmick for tilers who don't know how to use a wet saw properly :lol:😛rrr::rockstar:

You've offended Mike, he's put a big order in as he's got the franchise for Greenland just signed up
