I use a SWB one with a 350 litre tank in, two poles, telescopic ladders and Pure Freedom trolley. Works a treat. I'm even thinking of fitting a 500 litre tank in! It's a very nice setup  ;D

Yeah, I've got a T230. I love it. The gear fits in neatly. I'm a one man set-up, using a 500ltr tank fitted across the bulkhead. Fixed reel by the right hand door. I put angle irons x4 just down from the roof on the inside with 4x1" wood going across which the poles rest on top of (I've added drainpipes to keep the hoses neat). My trad gear and backpack, battery and toolbox.
It does 40ishmpg, handles ok for a van and pulls well enough when fully loaded. Make sure you get the 90ps version as the lower powered version won't pull the skin off a custard!
