if im honest with you mate there not the best choice for a wfp system. all depends witch way you want to go. trolley or van mount? ive fitted a couple of 400ltr van mounts for customers but there was little room left in the van.
best thing i can suggest to you is to have a custom made tank for your van then ye there ok.

no is the answer
i had one years ago , it was nice to drive
but without a side door  it was not very handy

and ime trad  still

[Dean Aspects]

Great van for trad but not for wfp their is not enough room
I used to swear by astra vans and have had three of them for trad but now would not touch one get something bigger

i use a astravan for window cleaning i'm fully trad and its perfect, i do want a wfp system in the near future but only a small tank 175 or 250l so i will still be using my astra van,

[Mike_G]

I guess it depends on how big a tank you want. Upto 300 litres might be ok but not much above that. I had a 350 litre tank in an astra and when it was full the rear of the van was almost touching the floor.

Make sure you check the payload.  Remember water is about 1KG per litre, but add on tank itself about 30Kg, filters full of resin and water etc, reels, poles, and you, it all adds up, and you want to make sure youre not overloaded.  I think the payload of astra vans is 650Kg.

Someone suggested loading up fully and going to a weigh bridge (about £10) and keeping the print out results in glove box.

I just got rid of mine! I found that it was really to small. I am wfp and found that I could carry enough water etc but with everything else I was right up to the limit. The van was ok to drive but with the weight the rear shockers went 3 times on it. (once left twice right) The other problem I had was that as I grew I found that it was hard to grow further as the van was always full anyway. The lack of room, side opening door and also the fact the thing will always be at maximum capacity will always get on your nerves. On the other hand yes it is possible to use it and if starting out it will get you going. Short term yes, long term no

i have one at the moment with a 250ltr tank and i do find what with about 3 poles inside,a bit of a squeeze every time you pull a pole out the others follow,also the poles sit over the passanger seat so there,s on chance of taking anyone out,the height inside is no good for me as i,m looking to get a trolly as well,,,go for something like an expert or scudo,,,thats what i,m after, and a 400ltr, the poles go over the top of your head,and it has 3 seats,,spot on
