Vehicle One

Doblo with a 400L - perfect one man set up.

Vehicle Two

Pug 406 Estate pulling a trailer with a 200L tank and up to two 25L barrels. (Although I can put half a dozen barrels in the pug if needed.)


(What an empire I am building!) ;D

Unless you must have a 4 x 4 Vankpanzer for male member extension purposes then don't - the 200L tank I got was from a guy with a Mitsubishi Warrior who swapped it for a Fiat Ducato and put a 500L tank in it.
It's a game of three halves!

L200 Trojan new shape  double cab,   I have a 400 ltr flat tank in load area along with a streambox pump and battery box .  I have a Alpha trux fullbox  tonneau cover on back which is lockable and  alarmed ,    but i have to disconnect hose reel and place in cab along with pole as i did not want a canopy on the back 

Fantastic motor totally love it 1 ton payload even when fully loaded it moves like there is hardly any weight in the back works really well for me and my wife as we live out in the sticks .  MIKE

1st - VW Sharan 2.0 petrol - 10x 25L drums & backpack
2nd - Pegeuot Expert 1.9td - 400L upright
3rd (and current) - Pegeuot Bpxer 2.2 hdi - 400L flat

Out of the 3 above, the Expert was the best and i would have another. I do however fancy a Land Rover Defender 90 with a 500L tank (which would need to be custom made though)

I like the idea of an Expert/Boxer (or Citroen/Fiat equivs) - why did you prefer the expert to the boxer?

Gold - i prefer the expert over the boxer but that is because the boxer is alot bigger than the expert.

1 man set up - expert

2 man set up - boxer (has a 1T+ payload i think which would be handy for the extra man)

53 plate L200 25 mpg mate had a 53 plate which had probs to the point he got rid but he might have been unlucky ,     The L200 is the best pickup it has been voted best pickup 15 yrs out of 18 yrs in the what van awards ,  you should get a 400 litre flat tank in no probs but if you get a canopy on the back you could put a bigger upright tank in the back  ,   MIKE
