My mate bought a new Ford Connect for a similar business, but found the water tanks took up too much space & too much of the van's load limit so he swapped for a bigger van - a Renault Trafic. He put the water tanks in the centre section so he can access them through the side loading door, then a second bulkhead before a separate & secure back section where he keeps the rest of his kit. Of the 2 vans you mention, I think the Pug is likely to be better as it's bigger & can carry more weight. If you're unsure, don't use all your budget buying new. Get secondhand even if it's only for 6 months just to see what works & what doesn't with your type of business. Depends what your budget is & how much you're going to put in it.
