Some positive news for once and what van to buy?

[Vendition Ltd]

Just thought I would let everyone know I have now gone full time in the vending game and given up my full time job which was great for 10 years. Turning down a guaranteed £2000 a month has been the hardest decision of my life and hope it pays off. I now operate towers, toy machines, skill fruit machines and pool tables so have diversified a little.

Due to my accident my transit van was written off and am now looking into getting a new set of wheels. What's everyone's reccommendation? I was thinking of a Ford Transit HIGH ROOF medium wheel base because I could then stand up inside the van saving my back a lot of strain and also the fruit machines could stand upright rather than lying flat taking up a load of space. The problem is I live in my van and a high top restricts you in where you can park/ places you can enter which is a big negative for me as I like my Mcdonalds drive throughs

What's everyones thoughts?

Cheers

I have got a high roof transit.
Best van I have bought had 18 months.Very reliable van.
Had a vuaxhall vivaro before this and it was a pain with fualts.

High roof is great as you say as you can stand up in it.
I get in maccys drive thru no problems.

I can't stand unreliability, I needed something that was economic to run, 45-50 mpg, as I do 30-35k a year. must be able to squeeze into small spaces and be used for personnel as well as business. I went for a new Peuget Partner Professional. people my say, with some justification, it's a bit cramped but it does meet the criteria above and is perfect for the daily restocking of machines and I've just paid the final loan installment. Additionally if I have big machine movement or I'm collecting 4/500 trays of Pringles I have a 1.5 ton capacity trailer.
