Hi All,
Currently aged 17 and driving a Suzuki Jimny, car is nice and goes everywhere , bit like a quad bike with a cab , however naturally towing weight is low. As I’m looking to up sheep numbers I’m in need of a livestock trailer and a suitable vehicle to tow it , however with low funds I also want something economical , all trucks are too expensive to insure however I’ve come up with a plan to buy a landrover defender ( affordable to insure) and convert to LPG , hence reducing fuel costs , it should also be able to tow a decent sized trailer ( lpg reduces towing power by 5-10%) . Just wondered if anyone had experience of this , or what others have done in my situation?
Many thanks in advance ,
