To be completley safe you will still need to strap it through the chassis,the anchor points in the van are not strong enough to hold that weight.If you could just strap it to the anchor points inside it would be easy peasy to fit but it`s not the safest option IMO.

i had a "tray" made for my ibc
it has anchor points on the side for the straps
it is then bolted thru floor (spreader plates behind) and chassis members
it is made from 5mm galvanized steel
£140 fitted
find a local fabricator/engineers
should be able to knock summat up
sorry but i cant do pics
