Will a WFP system fit in a Nissan Navara ?
« on: January 23, 2016, 12:01:32 pm »
Hi Guys! late but happy new year to you all. Hope the weather is not affecting you to much lately. It's got right on our T**S to be honest.

I have a question. We currently have a Renault trafic with a 650hot wash installed. (concept 2o).  Does anyone know if you can fit similar size tank in a Navara? I've had enough of driving  vans!!!   ::)roll

Cheers

Craig

I've looked at them and I couldn't see it unless you got one with the removable roof on the back.

We have 2 Mitsubishi L200's and they have the same dimensions as the Navara.

You can fit a flat 500 litre tank with room down the sides for DI vessels and a battery box with your pump attached to that. Between the tank and loading door you will have room for two reels and two poles will fit diagonally across the top of the tank. We fit a Gardiner 44ft pole in there and a bag of extension sections if we need them too.

You can get a custom made, crash tested tank fitted if you have a cab on the back. It will hold about 620 litres. This will reduce the space you have left down to one reel if you have a battery box in that space too.  Plus, your poles won't go in sideways, the tank has a couple of slots for your poles to slide into and because they go in horizontally, you can't fit as long a pole in.

We weighed it all up when we bought the first L200 and went for the first option. It works brilliantly and we have last week bought another and had our second one fitted out the same way.

Sorry Bud I wasn't here.
There was a company doing 650 systems for all large 1 tonne+ pick up trucks, It might have been Cleaning Spot. There demo pictures were of a Navara with a system fitted on a removal, sliding runner design. It does restrict rear vision as it pretty much covers your back window and you'll need a truckman top or something similar.

I have a Ford Ranger Supercab with a 400 litre system, flat tank, and that was the largest tank I could find that still fitted under the sides of the bed and hopefully under a Mountain Top.

Thanks fellas for the detailed replies! It's a difficult one as I also need hotwash too. Just sick of vans haha! Ideally a 600litre in the back. I will check out cleaning spot. Cheers guys!

You can order a 600 litre tank specifically from the guy who makes them. Hot wash may be a challenge in such a tight space.

Taxation is different on 4x4's than it is with vans too. This needs to be part of your decision.

I wondered that. I like my van and it's totally practical. Maybe change the van to another model?

Nothing at all wrong with vans mate. I've had them for years. I just want something different that's all.

Haha...midlife crisis! That's funny! So chaps are you telling me if you had  a choice of a nice shiny amarok or navara you'd still stick with your van? Come on!  :o

Like I said I just fancy a change.

Don't you change your cars every 2 or 3 years? I bet you do  ;D

so you want a 600l HOTWASH to fit in the back of a navara and have room for pole storage AND be able to keep everything frost free on cold nights?

good luck with that.

IMO its totally impractical for a tank that size esp as you want a heater as well plus all your other gear.

BUT if you prove us all wrong POST SOME PICS WHEN FITTED! ;D
price higher/work harder!

I don't use or need hot water, my tank is 500 L although I could have gone bigger if I wanted. Not sure what the hotwash looks like but if it is anything like an L5 , I'm  sure I could have fitted one in ? I carry a supermax 40 in the back sideways . You need a taller hard top and a custom tank but it is certainly possible. I needed a work van and family car in one vehicle hence my decision  but everybody's reasons will be different.

Yeh it will go with my shaved head (cuz I'm bald - and my tattoos).

Keep the van and use it for wfp. So much better especially if you need 650 and hot.

Buy a truck if you want one - just because you want one.
It's a game of three halves!

 Careful Granville. You'll upset plenty of bald guys with tattoos on here. There's less people these days without tattoo's 😉

Our gardener has a  black nav and he has a beard and speaks queens English haha! Posh lad he is!

What do drive then Granville?

A ratchet strap is basically defective if there's knots in it as the braking strain is severally reduced rendering it unfit for purpose.

Knots ! With ya now
Its 2 slings looped through themselves to the cargo rails on outside of truck then a shortened ratchet strap joins them together. I knotted the slings so as to shorten them to make it easier to attach the ratchet strap between them. Thanks for pointing that out though, although it all seems secure I will sort it as was unaware of it being unsafe.

Well, my work van is a 2012 Hyundai iload "comfort" with a 650L and two reels. It's a 3 seat version. (You can get a 6 seat but there is obviously less room in the far back.)

It's a game of three halves!
