Can you fit a washing machine upright in an Astravan?

[KHPb]

Hi, I have a new style (2007) Astravan, need to know if you can fit a washing machine in it upright ..

Washing machine is 85cm high - as far as I can tell the max load height is 900mm for the van, but I assume that's the height once you've got it inside, not the height of the rear opening, if you see what I mean? Don't have the van at the moment so can't measure it - has anyone out there had a washing machine upright in one of these?

Cheers,
Jim

Sorry, what's an upright washing machine??? Do you mean a top loader?

Presumably this is for transport only and not a mini-caravan conversion?

This'll do ya:

But that's hardly "upright"

What do you want a van for?

At least we know what you look like now shop boy.

Yeah, right. Add 20 years and 8 stone and your nearly there.

Do you by any chance wear White shell suits ?

And who's more likely to have come across this problem before and therefore know the answer? A plumber, or ...??

Thanks for the "help", next time I'll just ask the first random **** in the street, probably be just as useful.

Vertical clearance is 800mm, should anybody stray across this post for purposes other than ridiculing someone asking a perfectly reasonable question.

Don't have the van at the moment so can't measure it .

a slight contradiction there. do you have the van or not?

maybe ask the owner if you can measure it?

do you have a tape measure?

that would be my logical approach to your problem.

I still don't understand the question

Vertical clearance is 800mm

All you need now is the average height of a washing machine!






















It's 850mm, which you could have found out from umpty-dozen websites with washing machines on.
Some people lay themselves open to ridicule.

Some people can't read the original post! "Washing machine is 85cm high"

It's my van, it was in for a service, it's back now, I used my tape measure, in my Chelsea Blue shell suit, and the perfectly obvious question is now answered, no thanks to anyone here.

Perhaps I should have posted on a Van forum, though that would have been met with "I thought this was a forum about vans.." no doubt.

With respect, I've asked for clarification of what you actually mean and you didn't supply it, so I was unable to help you

What do you actually mean "can you fit it upright?" How else would one have a washing machine??
