I'm doing the same thing at the end of September mate. I'm a bit nervous as I'll be driving a LWB Transporter, and biggest I've driven is a Caddy.

I drive these often:


Just without the windows in the back.

Don't drive it any different than a Polo or something, you'll get used to it in no time just maneuvering is the thing to learn.

On those dailys the back swings out a lot when turning so watch for that.

In the wet you can get the older one PROPER sideways.  :evil: These ones are all twin wheel base at rear so they drift easy.  :whistle:

Where all my moneys went.

True. I could just read through all of Barrys previous posts to read the same old drivel...

When reversing etv you want to get the back wheels to the edge of say a corner and then turn. Just watch the back swinging as mentioned.

Reversing when maneuvering IMO is easier than trying to turn while going forwards.

I once drove down Brick lane when I was 18 in a "Luton big box" Saturday night lovely expensive cars parked both sides, smaller gap than my big box.

Next Saturday strange no parked cars down that particular lane weird that!  :rolleyes:

Moral of that story: Pull your wing mirrors if they have been fitted Dumbo wing mirrors.  :evil:
