    Morning Fent, Bags are stored undercover in vented barns but as the farm sits on a hill with great air currents where letting it air dry a bit before it goes undercover. Think there's 70x 1.2m3 bags in the photo, with a lot more to fill. We also use bespoke folding stillage cages to single species specials. Matt

    Hi Jon, the air springs are plumbed into the compressor on a live feed. To increase air pressure I use a toggle switch in the cab. There's a tyre inflator on the compressor - which is great for tyre pressures. Compressor has enough capacity to run air lockers as well.

    I run my 130 with 50psi in the rear - but I have air springs on the back so when empty, I run them at about 15psi for a soft/smooth ride...

    We dry using a mix of vented bags and log crates. Looking at using heavy duty fold-flat stillage cages at the moment as they are the same price as log crates and will last longer.

    This is how I've done it - Signs Express at Harlow used reflective livery for all - looks great when picked up in headlights: 3M did research some years ago that proved on average a vehicle was seen by up to 2000 people per hour - so use it like an advertising hoarding - pay for it once.

    Our website is with MrSite - got the Pro version. Costs £99 a year, up to 50 pages, 10x email addresses, very easy to set up and do yourself with all templates. Technical, support is brilliant - based in London. If you haven't got time they'll do it for you. I've just refreshed mine - took no more than a couple of hours on a Sunday. http://www.hertswoodfuel.co.uk

    Yes a g-wagen is good offroad but it's too heavy. Had a swb 300GD Commercial in the late 80's - it weighed nearly 2 tonnes..
