Hi
I cannot decide how to store my poles (4 POLES) in the back of my SWB transit.
Can anyone please give me some ideas, Pictures would be great.
Thanks
-
I have mine on racks on the drivers side of the trani.
2 on each rack ,sort of big ally hooks that screw onto the side which
The poles sit in .

4" ( 100mm ) drain pipe sections - i have poles slide in/out easier than placing on hooks - also pole hose stays
neater and doesn't get caught up everywhere

what do you do with the other 15-20ft of hose ?

That's the way we do it. Speeds things up no end.
Just roll the hose up and put over brush, or keep it all connected and wind it in.

I have moved them around a bit towards the centre of the van, then a hook for the hose and then a mirror image. Will get an updated pic soon.

s.w.c if you don't mind me asking what size tank is that
cheers james
-
For those that use drainpipes do you find the poles slide about?
Very nice set up swc. Guessing yo have an slx. is there much advantage over the clx at 22ft?
-
Wow thanks guys some very good idea's and some great van set ups :)
-
Never heard the poles move at all though i reckon they roll a little when your turning
Advantage of the slx is the weight over the clx - also the higher you go the straighter the slx is compared to the slx
I use my clx now only for fascia cleans as the bend in it can be usefull - i dont like the bend though when im using it - spoilt with the slx now ;D
-
No probs Stu,
If you built a frame like i have got, you could have two tubes at the top and two tubes underneath

230ltr custom made to my dimensions i also carry freedom trolley with four drums too so that's another 100lts with use of small jets 1.2mm i find it enough, it would be to small if you used 2mm an 3mm jets,
-
i just use the barckets for the drain pipe,and dont brother with the tubes,never had a problem ;) ;)
love you smithy ;D ;D :-* :-* :-*
-
franky my sweetheart hows things :P
-
feeling the love mr smithy ;D ;D ;D ;D

S.W.C nice clean van it looks really good i see you have the trusty beer crate i used to use one when trad with only been 5ft 2" it was ideal when doing windows on top of bays and downstairs windows made things alot faster . Mike

I have two smaller gutter down pipes 67cm ID which are perfect for my SLX and CLX because I have a ford connect my poles are longer than the back of my van and therefore protrude through the bulkhead into the cab. The cab roof is very height and the poles are 1.5 foot above the middle of the cab. The excess hose is coiled up and hang on a hook either side if the poles. 8)

yep cant beat a crate still comes in handy once in a while, the van set up i custom made to fit me even down to the carpet panels on the sides just to make it neat, some times wish i made the tank bigger but i need floor space too for trolley and petrol pressure washer when needed.

Heres mine these have been owned by a couple of CIU members ;D
