Putting a large van to work
Discussion
The nature of one of my businesses is such that I have a large van (LWB Citroen Relay) sitting around for 6-8 months over the winter period. Its paid for and has just set empty for this winter, other than being loaned to a friend to help with his start up for the last few months.
Moving into next winter does anyone have any innovative ideas as to what I could do with it for that time to generate some income by putting it to work?
I've looked at courier work, but its not worth it as it takes me away from my other businesses. There may be an empty 20ft container to use with it next winter as well so I'm considering some kind of niche buying/selling of relatively large items but open to other ideas. Someone mentioned probate storage and movements, but I don't know anything about this area...

Hire it out an a monthly basis?
I'm looking for a van for 2-3 months very soon, but I only have 2 options:
1. Hire one from one of the typical van hire places, but they want silly money, like £600 a month
2. Buy one, use it and then re-sell in a few months, but this is a lot of hassle, with tax, insurance, timewasters etc
However, if I could hire a van, for say £200 a month, that would be fab

£200 per month? That doesn't seem enough, by a long way. It works out at marginally less than £10 per business day. Who is going to agree to that? Double it and it starts to make some sort of sense, so long as you insure it.I'm looking for a van for 2-3 months very soon, but I only have 2 options:
