which in your opinion is the best tank... lots of pros and cons....

flat spreads the weight.

upright gives you more base room..

what do you think.

thanks for opinions.

Nothing in life is perfect, and you've answered your own question in a way.
I have a 400L flat in a Peugeot expert and two 250L uprights in a Transit

I prefer flat for safety reasons,.. but I have an upright at the moment as it was all I could fit in my old van.
The only prob I see with flat tanks is the float valve would stop the water filling too soon,.. it'd be hard to completely fill it without manually topping up the last few inches?

i had a upright in last van, and just looking at it from the back of van all you could see was tank

in the new one it looks much smarter, you cant tell its there from a way off cause of the checker plate, i also think the weight is nicer like that, if i couldve butted a upright up against the bulkhead i might of gone fo that, right outta the way

 but i might look into puttin a false floor over top of mine, still loads of room left
