I think the maximum payload on the caddy is about 800kg, although I think they allow 75kg for driver. Not really enough for a 2 man operation unless you do a lot of trad.

hi rob we have a 400l tank on our caddy,when full the steering is a bit light-try a smaller tank,also when the going is wet the brakes can lock up,be aware of that one! :o : :o i'd go for a 400/not fill it right up and see how how you go,with a 400l tank theres not much room left though mate

I have a seat Inca which is the same van. The net weight says about 650kg if I remember right. I would say any more than 400L of water would exceed the weight.
i have a small 125L tank and carry barrels to refill as needed. I like the fact that I can have a clear space as needed.
I think for a 2 man team it's too small for wfp.

What age is it? Mine is boarded out in the back and with a 250l tank it takes up much of the useable room. I have a spare 250 tank at home. If you want to come round and check for size feel free.
