lee i'm currently trad but i'm having a 250litre wfp fitted into my van soon,

I'm going to be changing it for a lpg vauxhall combo van at some point next year, a combo van would be much better suited to a wfp set up.

something like this

ST1Allstar,

I know nothing about vans (unfortunately :'()

but that one looks in pretty good nick!

I have freedom trolley, long story but van mount not pratical for me.

would you get away with just van mount?

I'm sure you all ready know all the options open to you.

wcw warehouse do backpack £100, everyone seems to like holds 15ltrs (for hard to park outside houses)

thanks for your advice on lpg very intresting.

are you a vauxhall fan they seem good to me, just seen there ford connect lpg's around also that's meant to be one of the most reliable vans in country according to parkers guide.

Vauxhall do seem up the front when it comes to lpg from what i have seen.

cheerio lee

i like vauxhalls but i'm not a hardcore fan lol

i remember a guy on here posted pictures of his astravan with barrels in the back he used a freedom trolley and loved the astra he bought it brand new 10k.

heres the pics





i've never seen a lpg connect out on road before i know they do exist simular to vauxhall combo.

my van has been ultra reliable, i've serviced it twice and its only needed new front brake pads, its never failed to start, me and my missus went to france ski-ing and it took us all the way there and back, up and down mountains, it slid off the road up a mountain and i crashed it into huge mound of snow/ice, was a very scary moment but it only damaged the bumper and a guy on a 4x4 quad bike pulled it out, did 2000 miles in a week

even at -8 high up a mountain it never failed to start and i had zero problems with it i couldnt ask for more from it.

100 percent reliable

some of the combo vans use the same engine and gas system so are just same as astra.

ST1Allstar

thanks for pics of inside astra, i wonder what the pole rest is in that van?

I don't think i'd risk take my van up a mountain!

Unless i was planning to push it over for the insurance money ;D

thanks lee.
