Merc Vans v Sevel

[Boris7]

I bet none of them supermarket ones have got a shower and toilet in them

Actually where we live Asda vans do have both toilet and shower as well as being 4x4.

They are Iveco based and the driver generally does 2 nights away while delivering

Correct, but groceries don’t weigh much

Hmm but beer dose

They'll be worth nabbing when asda get rid of them.

Just been searching to see where asda vans end up.

Only large vans or ch cabs have chassis under them, most light vans and all cars except pickups and 4/4 are monocock construction since ww2.

Range Rover?

Since buying my Renault Master based PVC I tend to notice them more. Round here - S Wales - many ambulances and police vans are Masters.

So far we are very pleased with ours based on a Renault Master. 2.5 Dci.
Lunar coach built.
Good performance and economy (30mpg)
6 forward gears.
Decent ride and "big wheels / tyres"
I note significantly smaller wheels on Fiat based vehicles !

I guess 4/4 is same as a 4x4

Hah, same immediate thought!

Gutted! I've always fancied a refrigerator van for a conversion for the straight edges and insulation. Haven't yet worked out why they are not popular

I think that probably the biggest factor is the deal that the manufacturers fleet sales department offers to the fleet manager.

 

[jagmanx]

Surely if you are in a refrigerator truck....
All the lights go out when the door is closed ,??

Not true, many cars had chassis in the 50’, 60’s and even early 70’s.

just as an example, all Triumph TR’s up to and including the TR6 were on a chassis, so was the herald, vitesse, and many others were not monocoque chassis in the same era.

So this seems to be a regional thing then, I don't think I've seen anything other than a Merc here.

I don’t know how true it is but I have heard the fridge vans get a lot of condensation in the insulation which causes rot problems

You answered your own question there , they stink of fish!

We've just bought one too - so far I can't fault it. Its a shame they stopped trading

The Master comes with a 4 year/100k warranty. I believe that from new there is a choice of that or 3 years/unlimited but the 4 year option is ideal for a moho.
