so you want a 600l HOTWASH to fit in the back of a navara and have room for pole storage AND be able to keep everything frost free on cold nights?

good luck with that.

IMO its totally impractical for a tank that size esp as you want a heater as well plus all your other gear.

BUT if you prove us all wrong POST SOME PICS WHEN FITTED!

I don't use or need hot water, my tank is 500 L although I could have gone bigger if I wanted. Not sure what the hotwash looks like but if it is anything like an L5 , I'm  sure I could have fitted one in ? I carry a supermax 40 in the back sideways . You need a taller hard top and a custom tank but it is certainly possible. I needed a work van and family car in one vehicle hence my decision  but everybody's reasons will be different.

Haha. Hopefully yes mate!

Nothing at all wrong with vans mate. I've had them for years. I just want something different that's all.

Haha...midlife crisis! That's funny! So chaps are you telling me if you had  a choice of a nice shiny amarok or navara you'd still stick with your van? Come on! 

Yeh it will go with my shaved head (cuz I'm bald - and my tattoos).

Like I said I just fancy a change.

Don't you change your cars every 2 or 3 years? I bet you do 

Nope!

This thread has been hijacked lol

Keep the van and use it for wfp. So much better especially if you need 650 and hot.

Buy a truck if you want one - just because you want one.

 Careful Granville. You'll upset plenty of bald guys with tattoos on here. There's less people these days without tattoo's 😉

Our gardener has a  black nav and he has a beard and speaks queens English haha! Posh lad he is!

What do drive then Granville?

Sorry I do not understand what you are saying ?

A ratchet strap is basically defective if there's knots in it as the braking strain is severally reduced rendering it unfit for purpose.

[richard groves]

Knots ! With ya now
Its 2 slings looped through themselves to the cargo rails on outside of truck then a shortened ratchet strap joins them together. I knotted the slings so as to shorten them to make it easier to attach the ratchet strap between them. Thanks for pointing that out though, although it all seems secure I will sort it as was unaware of it being unsafe.

Well, my work van is a 2012 Hyundai iload "comfort" with a 650L and two reels. It's a 3 seat version. (You can get a 6 seat but there is obviously less room in the far back.)

Not read any of the posts on this thread, bht I say this photo and thought it appropriate. If can use a mini for work, then surely anything else cannot be said to be too small

Need a magnetic roof mount for the pole.
