She pulls like a train with no water in the tank, it has a 800 litre tank.

i tend to carry about 2-300 litres most of the time, it gets a bit heavy pulling away and slowing up down hills!!!

Met a bloke on site the other day, they had a VW LT45. A company called lanes for drains. The guy reckoned that this particular van cost 250K to kit out :shock: :shock: :shock:

Dunno if that was true but it had some real nice goodies in it. Cameras, a toilet, mains powered by an onboard generator the lot.

yes that is believable, lanes for drains are the biggest private run drainage firm in the country, so money is no object when it comes to building a cctv van, i built this myself, and the jetter came from a '98 lwb we bought in 2005, for not alot of money.

This one owes us a tenth of the lanes van!!.............and does the same job at less cost to the customer!!!!

8) 8)

The lanes for drains blokes seemed pretty knowledgable, thing was, their gaffer messed up and the camera they bought was too big to go down the hole :lol: :lol: :lol: .

The LT vans are nice though, only thing i dont like in them is the cab, just nowhere to put anything.

Hey, If I had my own electrical company, I'd make sure I had a sign written van in my sig, every extra job is food on the table. Just so happens that this advert features a smart, well laid out van. I like the racking and stuff inside.
Congratulations.
