Iv lived in caravan full time & loved it all mail went to my yard, but you need the right caravan & if your planing on towing it about then you need eather a Hobby, Tabbert , or LMC as there good German vans insulated so cool in summer and warm in winter stay away from dry vans as you'll want toilet shower kitchen sink, I put extra water tanks in mine I had a hobby 720 ( 29ft ) so end king size bedroom, toilet shower dinning table and horse shoe seating I loved it ( got a static now ) if I was to do it again I'd go for the hobby with the full end barthroom Good luck

From memory the cabstar ( about 03 plate ) has a train waight of 5400 kg so as truck loaded is 3400 kg it can still tow 2000kg there about 100 bhp and good trucks local so you can pull 3400 kg

The single wheel cabstars are 3.4 tonne and do come in at about 1.7 tonne it's been so long since I drove one I'd forgot all sbout them good little trucks but prices are high as the exporters love them, I doubt you,ll find a better little load carring tipper

Double cab transits are heavy with a bad pay load I sold mine ages ago and replaced it with a single can transit tipper, the single cab transit is 2000kgs empty so will give you about 1.4 tonnes payload once you & your kit are in there

I was given a 36v ryobi chainsaw by a customer on a job at the time I just took it and said thanks very much and put it in the truck but when I had a go to what it's like it surprized me how good it is so now it stays with the chipper to help trim anything up that's too big

An 80 series would be better or now even a 100 series, I just don't think I'd have the heart to spend 3k plus on a cruiser then cut it up & then spend more money on Ali tipper body, tyres, springs,

Best van iv used for towing was a Transit lwb T350 125 it pulled a fully loaded 16ft ifor williams lovely ( steer well clear of the 90,s ) my old iveco daily was powerful and towed well but given the choice between the too transit wins, stay away from any thing front wheel drive there just not man enuff
