Can anyone tell me what is the best van to go for to run a Brodex 250ltr WFP system from. A Peugeot Partner 600kg payload with ply lining inisde, or, a Vauxhall Combo 795kg payload? The Combo looks like its got more space and can obviously cope with the extra weight. I reckon when the van is full and loaded it will be close to 400kgs of weight.

Thanks for any advice,
Stu

if it is a 250L tank IMO it will be well over 400kg of weight, 250kg water tank about 35kg fuel, one or two people sat in it, ladders other equipment, can I ask why you are going for a 250L tank ?
and why these vans.

i have a combo plenty of space but i put my tank in long ways not across big mistake as it takes up most of the room flat tank mine fully loaded pulls very well and drives well sod to ply though . what year is it on ?

ive got the 800 partener, and carry 500 litres, 400 litres tank running my van system, a back pack and 3 x 25 litres barrels for the backpack, pulls easily no probem

and i really wouldnt go for a 250 litre tank unless your just doing the ups?

its well annoying going home and filling up

I'd seriously consider a bigger van,.. Expert/scudo size minimum. I've got a Pug Partner at the mo with a 400 litre tank in it,.... I'm changing it because its too small.

ive just got a scudo and is spot on for the job

well, it is and it isnt lol

ideal for one man band, but theres 2 of us now, and we cope in it, but a bigger one, would just "be nice"

im a sad 1 man band

Wow, thanks for all the responses!
If I go for either of these vans it would be an 05, 55, or 06 plate.  The reason i wanted a 250ltr system was because I thought that was enough to get me through the day...is it? How many houses will that do approx?..difficult question I know. Also the cost,I suppose I was trying to keep the cost down by buying a smaller system. can anyone recommend Pure Freedom as a comapany to go for?...there website seems pretty good?

Before you buy secondhand check out the deals on new. I don't mean on the websites, go into the main agent and talk to them. I have a P Partner on order, should be getting it this week. They gave me £3,800 "fleet" discount and threw in aircon, electric windows and central locking for free.
That made it a lot better deal than what was on offer secondhand. I only actually looked at two secondhand vans but they were both quite high milage ex delivery vans and felt quite ropey. Good small vans are hard to find.

I have a pure freedom set up, and I would recommed them 110% I would go for a 400L tank, better to have to much than to little IMO
