Get yourself a 5000l van mount and charge them £100 each (don't park on their drives though)

yes no problem..but you will have to remove the passenger seat.

Quite possibly you may have stumbled on the correct ratio to get a good result

plug into their outside tap for conny roof.

that should leave you with just enough water to finish the 2 bedder ;D ;D

if you run out you can always pop back the next day to finish the backs ;)
Thanks,

You could just put 200 25l containers in van and use a backpack. If still short on load space after removing passenger seat just remove the engine and convert it to a pedal van. This has 2 benefits.

1. saves on fuel
2. will keep you fit

only serious replies please . i think some of you are not taking it seriously .remember this is a mans livelihood.you would never get 200 cannisters in my van. unless i put some on the roof . would i be over the payload?
