How big is a Citroen Dispatch SWB van (in the loading compartment) compared to a Mercedes Vito SWB van? Reaosn I ask is that I need to pick between the 2 for moving next week buit I know the Vito is too big and stuff will fling around a bit too much - is the Dispatch any smaller?

Id go for a bigger van as you can never have to much space when moving stuff, just whip in B&Q or somewhere and get some bungee straps there dirt cheap and just lash everything down.

Pretty similarly sized tbh?! Just make full use of the lashing points and jam stuff in with other stuff as much as possible

They're comparable.

Tie the stuff down.

I used a VW Transporter for my move. Was a perfect size, didn't tie anything down, just strategically placed stuff so it didn't move.

I'm assuming you are using Streetvan if you are moving within London?

yep, it's all about the load

When I've played gigs I make sure no one else but me doesn't the loading. Things have to go in a certain order, a bit like Tetris.
