My business is growing steadily and I have also been looking for a replacement van for my route. I have done some research and have found that the Dodge sprinter is an excellant van for vending. It has airconditioning which is required to keep my bars from melting into chocholate soup! It is diesel which is better than gas. But it is a bit costly, but again if you lease it, you can right it off. Hope that helps a bit. I am interested in the side loading type vehicle but they are currently only offered in the USA I believe. Also check out what your larger competitor is using. My main competitor uses the Sprinter and one operator told me that if they give him back his old van he would quit!!
