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.
Why would I need to know someone who has one, to know that a 650 Tank in a van with a 900 payload will be cutting it fine for being overweight? You may not like it, but the fact is you are wrong to suggest you can get a 650 tank ' no worries ' in the Maxi. I actually done a bit of research into the Caddy Maxi before I bought my Caddy, I fancied it for the extra length rather than payload but decided against one as I thought it was over priced.
Do you always take a hissy fit when someone disagrees wi your posts?
The subject of payloads can be a particularly thorny issue on the forum KS, but even so, i dont see why you think poleking was having a 'hissy fit', it seemed quite a calm response to me!.
Bottom line, it is your responsibility to determine what size tank you can safely and legally carry in your van/pickup. So best advice would be if you have your eye on something in particular, explain to the dealer/seller what you want in for, and that you need to go on a weighbridge to confirm exactly how much payload you have to play with. They really shouldn't have a problem with that, and in most areas of the country, you shouldn't have to travel too far to find one. It is the only way to be sure.
