Hey guys, just a quick enquiry, to have a 500litre van mount, what would payload have to be? Thinking of picking up a Peugeot expert tomorrow but payload is 1000-1200 against the smaller transit connect that can take more?

Are you sure the connect can take more?

That would be 500 - 700 left to play with, so yeah it'll be fine (providing your not carrying guttervacs/carpet cleaner etc all the time, and on roids.  

[Blackadder]

Maybe I misread on the internet earlier? I'm sure the connect would take 1500? Maybe not.
I do want to be taking the gutter vac on the road too, so it will be tight. Got two kids, so I wanted three seats but nothing as big as vivaro etc

[PurefectWindowCleaning]

Your do well to have WFP system, gutter vac etc in the van at all times, sod that.

[tlwcs]

No, I would check again.
The new lwb connect 240 only has a payload of 1006

Ok, cheers all.

And the older ones are 900?

Yes, 900kg (lwb 230)

Mark, either payload versions of the expert will manage a 500l system easily, but remember you also have the options of the expert's kissing cousins, the citroen dispatch and fiat scudo. You might also think about the current vauxhall combo, as there is a 1000kg payload version (2300).

What an Amarok?

[Elfyn]

Mark - don't forget that payload also includes any persons in the van, fuel, equipment etc. - just about everything in the van.

[Mike #1]

Would not touch an VW Amarok not really proven in the 4x4 world and over way priced , I Would  rather stick with a longterm rated truck which is up to the job as work horse with a 1.2 ton payload and 5 seats in the cab way better than a van . Mike

Looks the titties though.
Same payload. Wider loadbed. VW reliability.
I want one.
If i could stick a pole in it lengthwise it'd be on the drive already.

My brother runs a Barbarian. Lovely truck, granted. Not very refined but does it's job.
He used to have his poles on a roof rack but didn't like it so now sticks them (he's only got a 30' and an 18') in the cab. That'd do my swede in.
Where do you put your poles?

[PoleKing]

to add, i aint ready for a van for another 2 years but love the research phase.
I want a motor that will suit for work but i can whip the tank out and carry 4 bikes, the wife and 2 kiddies.
Like i say, Amarok is definitely my preference but the pole situation...

[Blackadder]

Ok, forget the kids for a moment, if I was to get a caddy, would the max tank I could put in there be 350ltr? This must be what all the guys running from caddy/partner/Berlingo/Connect are using yes? Is this considered enough in general of first year of work?

The Caddy Maxi can have a payload Upto c. 900kg.
You'd get a 650ish tank in that, no worries.

A 650 tank with 900 payload? ?  A think that would be cutting it fine, even for a 1 man set up

Do you know anyone with one?
I do.
That's why I posted.

[dazmond]

i still think a full 650L would be over the limit with a 900kg payload.i think im pushing it with a full 500L in my transit connect(900kg) first thing.
