As heading.
Just wondered if it is practical with maybe a 250 ltr tank.
Its for my son, so sounds economical.
What do you guys think?

Yes ive got the side door to get to them. Also the front seats rock forward like in a 3 door car for the other side where i dont have a side door.

Perfect van mate, and so cheap to run!

I bet thatvauxhall sits low on the ground full, with it so far back on the vehicles frame.

do u need to tip the seats forward and use that space for equipment or for a one man setup is it ok to leave the seats upright and fit an upright 250 or 350 ltr tank
 and put the reel next to the back doors

My seats are back, they have to go back to lock in, i only have jsut enough room in mine, i had to higher the reels cause the doors wouldnt shut if they were on the floor, probs off best with a smaller tank as limited in mine to fit much else in...but i dont really need anything else.

Poles fit nice up in the roof outta the way, ive fitted gutters to roof and they slide down into the overhead shelf.

Really cant recommend this van enough.

What i was thinking was to tip seats forward and put reel in that space and run hose from side of the van with reel outside the van on the floor when in use.
Do you think this is wise?
If i did this, a 350 tank would easily fit.

Yes no problem, 350 sits nicely behind the seats.

I think it would fit mate

This is my 350

Dimensions:

Height..........750mm
Width...........520mm
Length.........990mm

And there room to spare either side of my tank, i would be concner about the height tho...but should fit just about. Id look at getting the 210l or 350 cube ones like mine.
