I have a Nissan Vanetta cargo Diesel, it has a 250l tank 6x25l water containers, a dog cage, Freedom trolley...and still room for the kitchen sink.

Seriously it suits for now.

Cheers
Dave.

Exactly the same as I have dave. The two side loading doors are great! Just pull the hose out from whatever side you want. I find It very heavy on fuel :'( (2.3d)

But appart from the poor fuel consumption It a great size van and does the job perfectly.

Ive got a Fiat Doblo van. 1.9 JTD . It's great.  2 side loading doors as well as 2 back doors. Does about 550 miles on £46.00 of diesel. Comfy cabin, trip computer, bulk head, tinted glass, perfect....

Have you thought about a double cab pick up? Plenty of room In the bed for a tank and hose reel and the rest.

I saw a double cab pick up driving around our local town watering flowers. He had a 1000l ibc tank and two hose reels and his telescopic pole In the back. And there was room for more.

And you would have the seats In the back for the wee one.

dont put cooking oil in a modern diesel van anything after the year 2000, its no good for them unless you have 2 tanks and gcan switch over once the engine has reached the optimum temperature
