Title: Best Extend2Wash Backpack
Post by: DG Cleaning on September 19, 2011, 12:58:17 pm: Hi All, Looking to get into wfp via backpack till I can afford a van mount. Been looking on John Hewitts site and narrowed it down to the ESR16 or the BP505. Has anyone used either of these? If so which is the best? Thanks

That'll be the ESR16, we have both (WCW & ECR16).

carry mine just for awkward jobs

mate up the road uses his on a small sack truck works well for him.

The Backpack is fine to carry for the occasional window, but if you want to move around a property with it a sack truck makes it easier.

I just set myself up exactly the same, I went to see John and he kitted me out, very reasonable. Using a 505 and faultless....

Good luck

Cheers

c

i have that exact trolley , i started wfp with a back pack, ( shurflo) nearly 6 years ago, still got both , and still use them both on a few jobs, where it is easier than using van mount , had to cut a hole in base , to access on off switch on pack , excellent trolley.
