Van advice required

Hi,

can anyone recommend a small van that runs on LPG that I could possibly get for £2500 or under?

Search autotrader for vauxhall corsa petrol vans. They do a 1.4 with factory fitted LPG. Seen one at £2995 somewhere but there might be cheaper.

how small? there was a special transit lpg, i know a company called adshel (bus shelter ad company) used them you might find one of thier old vans for sale or at auction fleet sale.

Any van will do so long as it can easily hold a washing machine

you might struggle with a corsa van then due to the high load area and tight rear access .
why does it need to be lpg? and why just one washing machine?

I only ever take one washing machine with the job I need it for. I am just thinking LPG to be green!!

from which aspect?
you will get much better fuel economy from a diesel than lpg,meaning you use less fuel.
but using lpg you will produce less harmful particulate apparently but use up much more fuel.
your going green already by recycling a van by buying 2nd hand,so if i were you i would maybe look for a transit connect. or at worst a vx combo diesel.
these should be high enough to fit a washing machine,but also give good fuel economy due to them being a bit more aerodynamic than a transit.

what about a small car and a little trailer with proper suspension

I'm not brave enough to pull a trailer.
