Horsebox advice

[BaileyM]

Hi there

I am hoping to purchase VW35lt D reg with low mileage. 3.5 ton. Beautifully kept inside & out...but its a petrol engine and has no PAS...am I crazy to consider this box or are they quite economical on fuel? How heavy are they to drive (honestly) say on a scale of 1-10?
Thanks in advance for your help & advice.

I would want to know how many miles per gall it does. My friend had a 7.5 ton many years ago which did 9 miles per gallon!! Also I think petrol engine will need servicing more often. I would get a qualified person to vet it before purchase. Normally can found in H and H mag.
