I would look at payloads, work out what you want in it and go from there. I was shocked by another thread on here which is a new box van with only 1 tonne payload. I didn’t realise that box vans were fully insulated and vapour barrier though? Are ALL walls and roof made of composite panels?
Although I ticked panel van in the survey, in truth I would very seariously consider the latest low chassis box vans for their total useability when it comes to converting them, most especially when insulation is considered as they would be so exceptionally easy to do. My only major question would be the capability of a walk through from the cab which for me is a must have.
More and more lightweight options becoming available.
No payload advantage in sticking to panel van anymore.

Few years back I had Iveco 2011 box van made of fiberglass & aluminum, payload was better than panel van for about 120kg.

Is it same engines as in the Vivaro? Son in law hired a van yesterday and was impressed how well it went, he thinks it was a 1.9 but doesn’t know anything elseI am so please how Renault listening and try to satisfy every customer requirement, I wish they would improve engine/gearbox to total satisfaction.
But since IC engines planned to retire soon not sure if that would happens.
Some traffic (vivaro) now have a 1.6 twin turbo. The Master after 2010 has a 2.3litreIs it same engines as in the Vivaro? Son in law hired a van yesterday and was impressed how well it went, he thinks it was a 1.9 but doesn’t know anything else

Would you happen to know if anyone has ever fitted a large opening side door, preferably sliding to these Loloaders?
I only ask as we love sitting on site with the side door fully opened watching the world go by!
