Got the LWB high top for the Mrs. Its the 230 HDi model with twin side doors. 400L upright tank fittted just behind the bulkhead with loads of room to spare for vac, pressure washer etc.
Goes quite well when fully loaded. Just be careful when fitting the tank as the floor is rippled and so easy to end up with uneven bolt holes.
Also make sure you protect-a-coat it or something similar as I said the floor is rippled so loads of places for water to collect and rust.

Regards

We have one - LWB 220 with the high roof and it holds more then you think  :)

have a 500l upright in it with a freedom cage. we fitted the tank in the middle so we still have access in the side door and the back. plus it meant we could bolt it through the chassis rails - 10 high tenile bolts, so that should hold it!

the cab is big - plenty of room for 2 adults.

i can email you some pics if you need any ideas of how to fit etc
