Your Opinions - 3.5ton with living?

Your links don't work for me, but to have what really can be considered "living" I'm pretty sure they would be overweight OR have forgone something else instead - I wouldn't like to think what that is...

It depends what living means in this case though :) to me living is quite heavy but to some its a bench and a cupboard :D
 
Its simple just find out what they weigh unladen, I would want to go on a test drive that included a public weighbridge and then your sure there wasnt any funny bussiness with the thing being weighed without partition ,mats and anything else that could be removed prior to it being taken to be weighed!!! then if the living suits your needs and it will carry
enough then go for it ....
 
Afraid I'm a bit sceptical that either would be under payload with a horse + all your away show gear.

I have a traditional 'van' style 3.5 with basic day living only and with a full tank of diesel, and full gas cylinder I only have about a ton payload to play with.

Horse + me = nearly 600kg, then there's water for us both, 2 saddles and bridles, mucking out stuff, haylage, feed, my bedding (I sleep in the cab), garden chairs, catering etc...it all adds up, esp. if you ever needed to bring your own shavings.

What does everyone think of these - they must be overweight???

I really like them for like 2 or 3 nights - i always go to shows that have showers etc or are with people with bigger lorries

I just dont see the point in getting a 7.5ton with one horse and having to take my HGV

Two surgestions maybe you could do the towing test and buy a cheap caravan for behind the 3.5 tonner when you go to stay overnight or if money is tight do your hgv then there will be a choice of proper lorrys which are about the same to run and better value for money and some would say safer than the toy lorrys or "kids lorrys" as my instructor calls them..
