I've had...
Dispatch , transit and landrover 110.
The best was the landrover 110 by a distance, they just take abuse
End off.

Mitsubishi L200 Trojan works for me with 400 ltr flat tank . Mike

Is the load area long enough for poles or do you have some sort of rack?

[richard jagger]

If its a small van you want there is only one FORD CONNECT. Well made its takes the load.

Soapy, You are now officially the Landie god. Is a 90 pickup bed  too short for a single WFP setup? or is it 110 all teh way...?

Pole goes in cab in between the 2 front seats and hose reel goes on back seat., As I have a tonneau type lid on back and.not a canopy .Mike

You could get a 400l or so tank in a 90 no problem. We only have 450l tanks in our 110s. This is because it keeps the centre of gravity very low. To be perfectly honest you can not tell whether the tank has water in it when you are driving because our set up is extremely stable on the road.

[tompoole]

Started with the black 300litre that's in the discovery pictures
Then had a 500 litre made that fitted between and over arches.

Im starting to like the Landrover idea. Yes as far as carrying a load its over specced .
But that means Im less likely to trash it with overwork.
It would have a secondary use as a towtruck to replace the knackered old trooper which
 I currently use to feed my habit of dragging a caravan around on a weekend.

and I have to say Soapy's Landie is easy to recognise . Great form of advertising your presence ...

[tompoole]

they hold oney too, i bought the red one for £8500 in 2007 and sold it
last may for £9000 ok i added wheels and rack but not many other trucks can
boast a proffit in 5 years after being used as a window cleaning truck!

[tompoole]

fuel wasnt good in winter , only 22mpg with all the stop starting and short journeys.
im averaging 31 in the transit at moment but would swap back in a heart beat..
