You want hdi and a flat tank in one really. Pleased with mine, i wouldn't want the bulk of a Transit or Vivario on my round to be honest.

do you guys leave the van doors open when you are working or do you take the hose reel out?? or is the hose reel bolted inside?
both hoses in our van are freestanding, outside ports, take out plug in and walk freely  ;)

i,ve got a vivaro with a 650 in it and i,m already thinking i should have gone bigger , i use 400 litres a day on average but am thinking of taking someone else on and not sure if the tank gonna be big enough , think i,m gonna invest in an autobrush and see how much that brings down my usage regards alan

You might be able to get these tanks in these vans but it`s how they drive,there uncomfortable they handle badly to say the least.I would much rather have a van that carrys the water with ease.

ive heard all transits hold 650 with ease as though its not there...

but i may stand to be corrected with transit owners on the forum  :)

You plug in a hose reel? and walk round with that??
Sorry if i sound simple, just trying to understand how your doing it, my trailer system has hose bolted in and its a pain having to go opposite the opening of the trailer if that makes sense as you cannot pull hose freely, and its a nightmare to reel back in, have to walk it all back etc...

So the simple answer to the question is HDI Despatch, Scudo, Expert. Many on here have them and they are fine.  ;)

Yes ftp is right. The van site gave me info about my scudo  925kg payload and it was £15,000 when new in 2005. I paid 7k plus from the main dealer, and have had it over a year, still only 27k on clock.

Handles the weight easily on corners etc, and drives like there is no load at all.

The roof is lower than a vivaro or transit which makes ladders less of a struggle, it has two side doors,and is easy to park. This is the perfect van.

Lower than the Vivaro i don`t think so if it is your talking mm.
