Have had good experiences with Volkswagen Crafters and Mercedes Sprinters. Basically the same thing apart from drivetrain. They ride much nicer than the competition and although initial purchase price and servicing can be expensive, I've never seen one break down... and you should see the way my boss drives his VW! I don't know whats involved in converting to refrigerated though.

Chattel Mortgage and if you wish you can fund the price of the refrigerated equipment into the lease payments. Chattel Mortgage will allow you to claim the GST upfront.
Would only look at Mercedes Sprinter for overall value, reliability, driver comfort and resale, just a better bet in my opinion.
