I have a Merc Vito and it's great.....but I don't think you could carry a 1000 litres in that....but if you got the sprinter (that;s if the legal lim was OK) then go for it merc's make great van's....can't go wrong

A 1000 litre water tank when full will weigh in at a 1000kg, so a mercedes vito is a definate no no, add the rest of your gear yourself and your fuel and any passengers you will be up around at least the 1500kg mark.
Try a Transit 190 theres plenty of them about at very sensible money.

you can get away with a 900ltr tank in a Transporter.  If you really want to go for 1000ltr then I'd definitely go for a Merc Sprinter

I think ionic say there 1000 ltr tank has a pay load of 1.3t when full
